Upgrade to Xeon

[Michisha96]

So now I have the i7 2600

I want to ask you if I buy the e5 1650 and oc it to 4 GHz or the e5 2560 v2 it will be better for Fps with my 1060 gb or it's better to buy ryzen 5 1600 and oc it

Does your motherboard support Xeons?

So you'll need a whole new setup.

At that point you'll need to see if the board you intend on buying will support OCing of Xeons, not all Xeons take kindly to that.

The question is will the e5 1650 oc to 3.5~4gh be more powerful then ryzen 5 1600 oc . And is a lga2011 motherboard is future profe ?

As much of a fan of Xeons that I am, the CPU was discontinued in 2015...The ryzen is newer and faster and you'll have a better upgrade path going ryzen

Xeon's were designed as workstations. A lot of them do perform great when gaming however, they will never perform as good as an i5, i7 or Ryzen when it comes to today's gaming titles. I would only recommend a Xeon if you could find a cheap one to throw into your current motherboard.

Xeon can be just as good as an i5, i7 or Ryzen for gaming.

Many Xeon's are based on i7's, for example that E5-1650 is the same as an i7-3930K and it will perform exactly the same.

But the e5-1650 or e5-2690v2 will be better then the ryzen 5 1600/2600

That depends on the price.

Ryzen 5 1600 or 2600 is a bit faster than the E5-1650 even when it's overclocked to over 4GHz. E5-2690v2 is faster than the Ryzen 5's on multi-core because it has more cores but for gaming it probably isn't as good as the Ryzen's because the single-core performance is lower.

Hmm so I don't know what to do I have now the i7 2600 but I think it's starting to show its old age. I can but the ryzen 5 1600 used for 120$. And if I choose Xeon on lga2011 which one to choose ?

single threaded performance on xeon cpus are not always optimal when compared to lower core count, higher frequency cpus. if you are gaming i reccomend a 6/7700k.

But they are very expensive what you think about Intel qhqg

Most Xeon's you see on the market will have a lower clock speed than most i7's you will see on the market. Yes if you compare a Xeon and i7 with the exact same clock speeds and same core count they will perform the exact same. But most i7's come with higher clock speeds, which games typically seem to favour.

Keep in mind his intent is to achieve a higher frame rate. An older Xeon will utilize DDR3 while a new Ryzen will utilize DDR4.
