Upgrading From i5 2500k

[JonathanH]

So I am currently contemplating on whether I should buy myself a new CPU. I've been doing research and I've settled on the Ryzen 5 2600. In terms of performance gains am I looking at anything noticeable? Biggest reason I was looking to upgrade was for BFV lol.

 

Thanks

A friend of mine upgraded from an i5-6500 to the R5 2600 and he doesn't have any framedrops anymore. Heck, he even plays 1440p on a GTX1060 and no stutters anymore, at all. My 2700X has also been smooth sailing in BF V.

Alright guess I'm upgrading. The frame drops have been insane on BFV for me and I thought it was due to my GTX 1060, guess not.

Nah. It's a problem on all 4c/4t processors. They take a proper beating. 6 threads or more and you're good to go, basically.
