"You only need an i5 for gaming" is this meme true?
works on my machine ;)
>>341579703
i have an i3. it works i suppose
>>341579770
>it works i suppose
What do you mean by this?
>>341580056
I can play all the games I want provided they were made before 2006.
>>341580118
nice
>>341579703
Not anymore no.
I had an i5-4460 and bought a 1080gpu.
Put everything to the max on witcher 3(even post processing, hairworks to x8 etc etc) .
It bottled the cpu to fuck. It did it on other games too
Swapped it for a i7-4790k and the difference is huge, no more bottlenecking, better fps
Yea. There are games in which i7's run better but the FPS difference isn't going to be huge.
I got an i3 2100 back in the day
It's trash and I can't play anything from 3 years ago.
I fucked up since I could have gotten an AMD FX 6300 6-core, and I would have changed it now anyway
JUST
>>341581875
The fps difference is big. My old cpu bottlenecked so I was dropping a shit load of frames.
the i7-4790k is about the best for single core usage, it even beats the 6700k
>>341579703
For 1080p, 60 yeah, that's enough. If you plan to go higher then no
>>341582094
nah
>>341582137
nah? read >>341581459
I think I know because of that
i have an i5 3570k, will i be fine when i buy a RX 480 ?
>>341582341
I think your anecdotes are worthless, just like your fat ass.
>>341582414
are kids off school or something?
>>341582367
no you need dual i7's if you don't want to bottleneck a $200 card
>>341582367
you will be yes. Itll be fine with that
>>341579703
Yes. Despite what many are saying, only a handful of games support more than 4 cores, and even those that do still work fine on 4 cores.
The only reason to go with an i7 is if you're trying to go past 1080p or if you just hate money.
>>341579703
ITT technologically illiterate retards
>>341582501

>>341579703
I have fucking Athlon x4 it works perfectly fine.
>>341582561
should i also buy a new fan for the cpu, im stilling using the stock one. is there much OC potential and if not, what future proof cpu could i buy ?
>>341582501
>>341582634
samefagging
i hate money xd
>>341582708
There is oc potential, most go watercooling now for that.
I have an afterstock fan as you can get quieter & more effeicient ones than the stock type.
Theyre not expensive so I would yes.
>>341582708
what chipset?
>>341582746
>gtx 1080
>1440p@144Hz
Wew. Somebody who actually has a good monitor to justify their expensive graphics card. I feel like throwing up when I see someone with a current gen graphics card but a 1080p@60hz monitor.
>>341579703
Used to be up until a few months ago.
At this point I wouldn't bother with i5 if you buy a cpu, just go i7
>>341582841
where do i see that ?
>>341582746
Tell me this - how does 144hz feel?
Is there even a noticeable difference between 60 and 144hz?
>>341582865
I bought the monitor and then I realized I needed to upgrade from my 970. Tfw 1440p 100+ fps with all on high
>>341582865
i m using my 47 plasma as gaming screen, fight me.
>>341582997
60 feels like garbage after I go back. Although I can quickly adjust to 60fps capped games after I play for a bit
>>341582970
CPU-z has pretty clear info on south bridge.
do you know your motherboard name?
I use an i5 2500k on a 1440p with everything high / ultra, and a 780. And I get 60+ fps on everything I've ever played.
>>341582708
Yes, the stock fan (in my experience) throttles even when it's not OC'ed.
As for which one, just google reviews of coolers in your price range. Personally I like closed loop water coolers like the corsair hydro ones, but if you're going for air cooled most people agree that noctua is king.
>>341583039
Console gamers shouldnt be posting on pc threads. You know that.
>>341583098

>>341579703
I use a 6350 and I love it
>>341583039
I am also using a tv as a monitor and dread changing to a little manlet screen.
i've been on an i5 760 for the last 6 years.
it has been able to handle gta5, the bitcher 3 wild cunt and other titles where my cpu falls behind the specs.
>>341579703
Just get a 4690k, games will never develop to a point where i5 won't cut it.

This is why I lurk technology threads on /v/, always a good laugh at retards like you.
>>341579703
it depends on your GPU.
I have a i5 4690k and a gtx meme70 and it works for me. I haven't played any game that hasn't run at 60 fps 1080p using at least high settings.
>>341583332

>>341583652
yes, cpu-z shows that
>>341583650
Why? Truth hurts? I'm being dead serious.
>>341583790
does that mean i don't have the k version ? and if yes what upgrade can i buy if any without buying a new motherboard.

You do realise that over 60fps the majority of i5s will start to bottle.

You having to post shyte as you are so clueless. Its funny and sad.
If you want max settings on everything no it won't cut it. If you can live with medium/high settings then yes its fine.
>>341584084
thats just the regular 3570 not the 3570k
I have an i5-6600k with a 970 and I can run most modern games on max just fine.
>>341585056
fuck, what does this mean in difference for OC ?
I have an i5 3330k, it still hold up just fine, I just need a stronger GPU.
>>341579703
i5 2500k here.
Just works, even with cpu intensive games like arma, dorf and siege. Every time I feel like it's sluggish I OC it by another 0.5ghz or so.
Right now running at 4.5ghz 24/7 with a 20 quid cooler and it never goes above 70 degrees
>>341581459
Stop playing unoptimized AAA garbage.
>>341585216
the "k" simply means it has an unlocked multiplier, in otherwords that it allows you to overclock. as far as i'm aware you can't overclock a regular 3570 unless you raise the BCLK, but other things are tied to that frequency as well so you could potentially damage other parts or things might start acting strangely.
to put it simply you can't overclock unless you get a new chip. theres no real point in buying a new one to replace what you have since overclocking only earns you like 15-20% performance increase.
>>341585372
this. If you are not playing on glorious ps4 you're wasting your hardware on garbage games
>>341585372
so just play jap cartoon pedo porn like you then?
nah
>>341585216
You can't OC a locked (non k) cpu. Seems like someone didn't do their research. Just get a 4690k and an aftermarket cooler.

>>341584541
same here. Things still tickin and I can play witcher 3 on ultra with just a r9 380. Dont know what these cockheads who need i7s for gaming are on about
>>341585432
All ps4 games are unoptimized AAA garbage are they not?
>>341581459
it would have been the same with a 4690k you know
>>341585437
modern AAA on PC is so fucking unoptimized it's not even funny
>>341579703
Depends on which i5 we're talking about.
measuring the power of the CPUs only by the i3/i5/i7 nomeclature will lead you to buy an overpriced shitty CPU, which is exactly what those jews want you to do.
>>341579703
A russian website did a CPU bottlenecking testing for GTX1080 and 1070. CPU used is i4790k
>>341585516
>Seems like someone didn't do their research
i was of the opinion that i bought the k version but i didn't. i wont need a new MB for the 4690k right ?
>>341585690
>>341585649
the last one I played was MGSV and it ran flawlessly, my dude.
DOOM seems to be pretty good as well but I haven't played it yet
I guess only having a ps4 makes you mentally ill enough to have this kind of bias tho, try idortism to sooth your aching butthurt
>that feel when you didn't fall for the I don't need a K i5 chip
You will need to overclock at some point cunts
>>341585758
>>341585627
Not if the PS4 exclusive was built to squeeze every bit of juice from the hardware the way Nintendo does it. Western devs can't seem to do that.
And then you have multiplatform AAA games, the real unoptimized garbage. Multiplat AAA games are like the true definition of "compromise" in that no one is happy.

Use it with google translate
>>341585718
No it won't. Im a dummy. 4690k is 1150 and you have 1155. Well, that's not a huge deal anyway. You still have a decent enough cpu, m8. Are you getting bottlenecks or something?
>>341585718
i think the 3570 runs on the z77 chipset, whereas the 4690k runs on z97. unless i need correction then yes you will need a new motherboard. even if it ran at the same chipset it honestly wouldn't be worth the money to upgrade to the 4690k unless you have money to burn.
>>341585646
I bought my 4460 back in late 2014, so I thought if I was changing I may ands well go for one that i wont need to swap out & will last a while .
>>341585903
>in that no one is happy.
more like consolecucks aren't happy because they know they get the inferior version
>>341585768
>implying I don't have a PC
MGSV was made on the Fox Engine, they fucking tuned it to PC. The game is the exception to the norm, it appears you forgot that Batman game or how FO4 ran smoother with way higher frequency RAM.
>>341585516
you can oc the new non-k skylake cpu's though. wish i bought a better mobo. only if i knew man. fuck my life.
>>341579703
I have an 3.6ghz i3 with a 970 and I managed to play every game so far on highest setting
Shit just needs some optimizing and satanic rituals to work
>>341584360
My i5-4690k holds just fine on higher frames.
Only in some older badly optimized games my CPU bottlenecks before my GPU and for that i7 is even worse.
>>341585690

>>341586171

>>341585768
>the last one I played was MGSV and it ran flawlessly, my dude.
That's like the exception though. It was praised for being last year's best PC port.
I could play that game flawlessly on the best graphics even though my specs are far from top notch.
Witcher 3 on the other hand, is probably the most bloated game on the PC. Everything looked like a mess once I finally was able to make it run smoothly. And the game looks worse than MGSV in general.
>>341586115
that was patched
>>341586171
Top section - 4 cores
Bottom section - 4 cores + 4 threads (hyper-threading)
The numbers are minimum and average FPS for given CPU frequency - 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 GHz

I love it
>>341586064
>>341586069
at the moment everything is fine except for the gpu and the noise. When i buy a new fan for the cpu can i use it in the future with another cpu ?
>>341586160
The 4790k is the best single core usage cpu on the market.
the 4460 was fine with the 970 but when I got the 1080 it was killing it
>>341586115
Thats news to me. Cool. I'm AMDfag at the moment. Going to upgrade my everything this summer after non-reference 1080/1070 is released. fx6300 @4.5 is a piece of shit on my 970. I didn't know shit about building PC's 3 years ago and learned the hard way. Still a decent enough set up for the money though.
>>341584705
>playing 5 year old games
why would you want to though? I play the old stuff 75% out of choice.

>>341586081
You have a point with batman, FO4 was a fuckup all around so you DO NOT have a point, especially when it ran so fucking poorly on consoles
>>341586226
Witcher 3 ran pretty well for me at almost all ultra, only thing that wasn't was the gameworks shit which I had turned off from geralt with a mod, looked faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar better than MGSV too. Only places where it dropped under 60 consistently was Roche's hideout for some reason
>>341586346
Yea well.. I can understand since I have 970 and the combo is running great.
>>341586332
if it fits your socket type yes. some coolers are designed only for one socket type. others are designed as hybrids so they can fit multiple sockets.
Since we're in a tech thread, is there any incentive to upgrade from a 770 to a 1070 for 1080p gaming, or will a 980 suffice for now? They're dropping in price by insane levels
>>341586493
>hybrids
can u name a few ?
>>341579703
The only thing I can think of that takes so much processing power for an i7 is
1. Emulation
2. Heavily modded skyrim
and
3. Dorf Fort
>>341586506
if you can push for a 980ti. Its a big jump from a 980
>>341586332
So far with skylake it works with most stuff. I have a hyper 212 evo and it will work with new stuff. Just do a bit of research if you plan on upgrading to skylake. I would get the Cryorig r1 for dat aesthetic because it performs as well as the Noctua without the hideous (IMO) brown set up. Water is a different story. Most work though. From what I know 1151 (skylake) is the same set up as 1150.
>>341586556
>Heavily modded skyrim
I dont think it uses 8 cores
>>341586493
off the top of my head the coolermaster hyper 212 evo fits both the lga1155 socket (i think this is the same one the 3570 uses), and also the lga1151, as well as AMD counterparts. that and a waterblock for my current build are the only two aftermarket coolers i've bought so i'm unsure of anymore. the 212 evo is only like $20 and performs well for the price
is a rx 480 a good upgrade from a 7970 ghz ?
>>341586714
sure
>>341586556
Dorf Fort is single core anyhow
>>341586549
almost all the good coolers can fit/have adapters to fit each socket
>>341586258
I assume the green squares are the ones where the bottleneck is the GPU and the white ones are where the CPU is the bottleneck?
>>341586234
is it patched? end of may there were still reports of oc'ing non-k skylakes though.
do you have sources on that?
>>341586714
The ebst
>>341586506
I'm still using a 290x (roughly as powerful as 980) and I'm still fine for new releases. Although, the last big release I played was Witcher 3. This is at 1080p, of course. But yeah, like this guy said: >>341586570 a 980 Ti will last you longer.
I love my 290x. I can't see myself replacing it until something like Witcher 4.
>>341586814
Yes
>>341586714
die shrink
ridiculously improved power efficiency
stock clock it's faster than a 390x, overclocked there is no idea what it can reach
so yes
>>341586793
thanks
>>341579703
Unless you plan on getting a 1070/80 you're wasting your money going above an unlocked i5. If you are getting a 1070/80 then you have enough money to max out everything else.

>>341581459

>>341586786
Well it's no wonder the game runs like shit
>>341586663
Yeah I didn't realize that but the remaster is supposedly not only 64bit but also using dx11, would that allow usage of 8 cores?
>>341586897
its disabled in the new bios not the older bios. i knew you still could do it and the stuff i read last 2 months are not wrong.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiw2r-_AdGM
>>341586920
I meant 2 best Air Coolers. Obv they both have their downfalls. I think the Cryorig has issues with tall ram. I don't mess with liquid cooling as of now but it's not hard to find info on toms hardware forums.
>>341587031
I sure hope my new 4690k allows me to have a 200 dorf forts with more than 2 fps
>>341587001
You're right I should have but I mentioned it earlier as it's the one I use currently. It got my fx6300 to 4.5 ghz easily and they like to run a bit hot. I have the voltages up quite high too unfortunately. Wanted to go higher but really not worth it.

>>341587151
> unless you're doing 4k gaming or VR
Resolution barely affects CPU performance.
>>341587035
thats base clock overclocking...not multiplier, multiplier overclocking is what people reference and use K cpus for
some gpus can bottleneck an i3.
If you spend 300 or more on a gpu, its generally a bad idea to pair it with a $100 cpu
>>341587151
It's actually easier to bottleneck a GPU at lower resolutions
>>341587195
At settings any higher than that you wouldn't see any differences because the GPU becomes the bottleneck.
>>341587001
how much louder is 10 db ? the hyper 212 seems to be a cheap and good option.
>>341587226
sure but you can still push the clock of a 3.2 ghz i5 6500 to 4-4.5 ish mark. this is very good tb.h

Ever think that the game on medium would have significant less CPU requirements because of the low draw distance requiring significantly less draw calls?

why not just play on a console?
>>341587312
honestly, i couldnt tell you the difference in sound, i always have headphones on and I never pay attention to the acoustics of my computer, that being said, I also have a fan on in my room constantly as I cant live without good air circulation in my room, which itself is quite loud too but I never heard my computer over my fan

is that the idle temps? holy shit the cpu & that poor seagate
>>341587712
If you can't wait for Zen, just get a Skylake CPU and since you're an Nvidiot, save your money to get a 1070.
why buy "k" cpus anymore?

I dont mind on consoles but on PC dropping under 60 is annoying especially with vsync on

only reliable and true statement of this whole thread
go buy a i7 if you hate money. Worth it for 5 fps rite? xddd
>>341587563
Framerate is gameplay
60 fps is barely fluid
>>341579703
Yep.
>>341587958
you dont actually believe this do you?
>>341583346
not really budget. just because its not THE most expensive cpu on the market doesn't make it budget.
>>341587958
have to agree 60 fps has to be the least amount of fps in gaming.
If you dont atleast have the latest tech then youre a pleb dont even try and talk to me

fuck this gay thread

256 and 400 GB SSD prices have dropped significantly lately. I recommend getting one for Windows, software and frequently played games and a regular HDD for everything else if that's not enough for you
>>341588324
if you gained 15-20 fps from an i5 to an i7(assuming relatively close tiers) then there was something else going on causing the fps problem
>>341588383
SSHD are shit. Some games are great on SSD due to faster load times (CIV5 and fallout 4 come to mind), so if that is appealing to you get a bigger one, if not get a smaller one and use it for windows. Shit a smaller one is good enough for windows and a couple of games
>>341588324
Just saying 'i5' and 'i7' doesn't actually mean fuckall, anon
>>341588383
I'd get a 240gb ssd for like 60 bucks

No there was nothing else. It was the cpu usage.
The 1080gtx was having 0 issues. nor was my 24 gb of ram.
Its a known thing try googling it.
>>341588709
i5-4460.
i7-4790k
OP here, boys I just bought an i5 6600k did I fug up?
>>341587857
More objects in a scene has a cpu impact as well retard.
>>341588906
yeah no, that definitely did not happen, i7 vs i5 benchmarks are available everywhere, none of them have shown anywhere close to 15-20 fps difference, at most it ends up being 1-3 fps
keep trying though
>>341588915
yes, yes you did. if anything i would have bought a 6100 as a place holder until kaby in 4 months. (or zen) like any of you care. 6600k, 6700k are incredibly underwhelming cpus assuming you overclock. (which is why you bought the k version)
>>341589024
I think its like 10 fps in fallout 4, maybe he means that
Arma games run worse on i7 though lol
How do you all take those speccy images?
>>341589152
Do a screenshot and cut it in paint.
>>341589152

>>341579703
The i5-4690 processor is still more than decent and will probably remain like that for the next two to three years.
>>341589152
uhh...you take a screenshot of speccy? im not trying to eb a smartass here but thats it
>>341589024
So All the programmes I had running checking usage in front of me on my computer are wrong are they?
did they use an i5-4460 and a 1080gpu with ultra settings and all post processing totally maxed out?
please find me those. Then find me the one where they tried that but with the i7 instead.
How do you even overclock a computer?
Google surprisingly gives bad info for me on this.
>>341579703
I run an i5 3450 and it's done me fine with everything so far, though for games like ArmA 3 I do find myself wishing I had just a little more power.

this is just one of many, literally the only game it had a 'major' different(8fps) was skyrim, and even then when both were OC'd to the same clock they were equal
your anecdotes mean nothing compared to the literal tons of benchmarks available
Would an i5 with $200 gfxcard be enough for Elite Dangerous? 60 fps would be nice too.
>>341583542
I have the same setup and Gta5 along Witcher 3 really struggle with these games on high-ultras due to CPU.

Anyone here has some experience with Freesync vs G-sync monitors? I want to jump on the 144hz experience with 480 but I fear that Freesync is the worse choice out of the two.
>>341589221
>>341589251
Thanks. Here's my toaster. I intend to upgrade it once rx 480 comes out.
>>341589341
you just change 3 numbers, baseclock, multiplier and voltage. http://www.overclock.net/f/ probably has guides
>tfw playing with a €100 amd quadcore and gtx 560
seriously dont see a reason to upgrade

im asking for the witcher3 ones which is what im basing mine off. Which I have from the start of the thread.
Thats article is from 2013. Like I say im using a 1080gpu so please show the results using one of those.
>>341589783
explain to me how i got cucked? im really curious what's going on in your mind. i can play any game i want.
>>341587652
>50°C
>going to cook
yeah no, all components are literally ok up to like 80°C, then it's a problem
>>341589024
What you're failing to grasp is that having i7 won't actually help with max FPS, that's still largely dependant on your GPU. It'll help bring up the minimum FPS though, while reducing how much of your CPU's power you're using.
If your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU, then you can see huge increases in FPS by to something which isn't being bottlenecked. But that doesn't necessarily mean that everyone else will get the same performance increase.
How do you know what ram is good or not for the price? I wan't 16 Gb but I don't want to buy something too expensive for what it is.
>>341589905
just keep moving the goalposts, the i7 does not give a 15-20 fps difference over an equivalent i5 in gaming, you can say you got that through your setup and MAYBE you did, but benchmarks have shown that to not be whats going on
>>341589943
By not forcing to get skylake and went with a nice 4690k, you'd get more performance and mileage down the line.

"All four cores hitting 80 to 99 in sections of the game (Novigrad especially) causing frame hitching and occasionally crashes."
I5 4670k 3.4ghz
The game also pushes my CPU to 100%, I've never seen such usage and temps while gaming, only when running Intel Burn Test. I ordered some MX2 to hopefully cut off 5c or so.
i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz (previously 4.5GHz).
>>341590145
show me them using a 1080gpu like I have said and keep saying on the highest possible settings for the game.
>>341590113
Its ram, who cares just buy cheapest and fastest supported by your motherboard.
>>341590090
there are very few games where the cpu is actually bottlenecking the gpu though, as shown above in the russian benchmarks, yes it absolutely does help with minimums, but not to that extent
>>341590150
i'm not overclocking so that's an awful idea.
>>341590303
but on base speeds with no OC, you get 25% extra performance in multi core calculation, and 17% single core performance.
And then, you can OC and get extra 2 years out of it.
A 5 year old i5-2500 still gets 60+ FPS in current games.
I can't decide if upgrading would make sense.
>>341590527
The operating system is the only thing that needs an upgrade.
>>341589479
this is my exact build but I only have 8gb of ram

actually 6500 performs better with all cores than the 4690k. and on top of that its cheaper. and i already told you i'm not overclocking. getting a k processor when you're not overclocking is retarded.
>>341588906
Well you're kinda doing a performance and price jump, from x4 to x7

Is 2500k the best cpu ever made?
>people unironically fell for the 16GB of RAM meme
>>341591192
for its time, yes
>>341591292
some games are starting to require 8gb now so shut up loser.
>>341591292
a) ram is super cheap right now
b) if you want to game and browse internet/skype/watch videos at same time it absolutely does help
>>341591461
Yeah money well spent faggot

16gb is more ram power than 8gb ram power.
