How much longer until I have to replace my overclocked i5 2500k in order to play gamez?
>>

As long as consoles continue to rock the underclocked netbook cpus that they have, you won't ever need to upgrade it.

That's what I thought, thanks

So does that mean my i5 3570k is also still good? I haven't bought many newer games because I'd need to upgrade my graphics card, but it don't know about the CPU.
>>
>>343506501
probably never
>>

1080p60fps? Yes. More than enough
>>
What games?
>>
I'm still rocking this gramps and it will suffice for another century m9.

Current and next

Wish I didn't get a locked 4570

No problems with any games so far, but would have been nice to be able to overclock.
>>
>>343507521
That's all I need, so good. From what I've heard, it sounds like the RX 480 is also a good card for people like me, so $200 to get current doesn't sound so bad.
>>
>>343506501
w-when will I have to upgrade my fx 8320
>>
>>343508189
Yes assuming your motherboard isn't too old. People are reporting pci-e power draw issues with the 480 that can affect old or cheap mobos.
>>
>>343507521
Resolution doesn't affect CPU in the same way as GPUs.
Framerate is what affects the limit on a CPU so lower resolutions where the GPU can push out more frames can bottleneck a CPU that can't keep up.
We saw that a lot in the gtx 1080 reviews.

Godammit.

At this point, everyone with a fucking 2500k should have watched this by now.
