Posted July 3, 2019 Specs i5 2500K 2x4GB RAM (1333) RX580 8GB 250 SSD HD 1TB HD Is upgrading worth it? I don't want to change my motherboard. Otherwise it is getting to expensive As far as I know I7 3770 is the best CPU for Socket 1155 However they don't make them anymore and the prices they asking are criminal. Over 200, even 300 for a CPU that's almost a decade old? That's too much However I want to play BF5 at at least 60 FPS (@ 1080p) and now I can only run it at about 45FPS. CPU Is clearly the bottleneck Should I upgrade or overclock? I can overclock to maybe 4.0GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too much most cases its not worth it. intel i7 used prices are insane. also consider xeon 1230 v2 (i think) when comparing used intel with new ryzen (whole platform) , always better to buy newer gens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 3, 2019 if you have a decent motherboard and psu just get a AIO watercooler for your cpu and overclock it to moon (and also get more ram) mY sYsTeM iS Not pErfoRmInG aS gOOd As I sAW oN yOuTuBe.

Posted July 3, 2019 The best cpu of a given socket tends to carry quite the premium. You've little room to complain though. I'm on the H97 platform here. Desktop Broadwells for this bloody thing are rarer than unicorns and priced accordingly.

CPU Is clearly the bottleneck Should I upgrade or overclock? I can overclock to maybe 4.0GHz Yes it's really worth if you can have it for cheap, the i7 8 threads will allow you to play BF V smoothly there will be a huge difference. Also consider getting 2x4gb more for a 16GB total and you will be set. BF V is very cpu demanding and the extra 4 thread will help a ton I myself had a 4690K and BF 1 and BF V were getting cpu lag (stutters) cpu would be at 100% usage often Got a 6700k and difference was huuuuge Also a 580 can run BF V @ ultra settings @ 1080p 60 hertz which it will do with a 3770 even 8 GB total ram should be enough SEe below : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgJXPmKovX8 CPU: Intel i7 6700K 4.5 ghz / CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 / Board: Asus Z170-A / GPU: Asus Rog Strix GTX 1070 8GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3000 mhz / SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB / PSU: Corsair RMx 850w / Case: Fractal Design Define S / Keyboard: Corsair MX Silent / Mouse: Logitech G403 / Monitor: Dell 27" TN 1ms 1440p/144hz Gsync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 3, 2019 I have the same CPU and once my CPU started really being a hindrance I decided it just made more sense to get a new CPU/mobo/RAM than spend way too much money on a used Ivy Bridge i7. It's still a 4 core CPU after all, just with hyperthreading and very minor IPC gains. I'm going over the top and replacing everything, but you could get a new CPU/mobo/RAM for like $400. It costs more to replace all three, but saving money now by getting that Ivy Bridge i7 could just end up costing you more money in the long run when you want to replace that one, too.

Yep that make sense. One thing you could consider is sell cpu for whatever and get a 2600k for 4 extra threads LEts say you can't afford the full platform upgrade, a quick little upgrade just to run smooth BF V is not a bad idea either. I would say if you tend to keep the computer for another 3-5 years it's worth it to upgrade the CPU to a 2600k or 3770 IF you will change the computer in 1-2 year then surely is not worth it CPU: Intel i7 6700K 4.5 ghz / CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 / Board: Asus Z170-A / GPU: Asus Rog Strix GTX 1070 8GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3000 mhz / SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB / PSU: Corsair RMx 850w / Case: Fractal Design Define S / Keyboard: Corsair MX Silent / Mouse: Logitech G403 / Monitor: Dell 27" TN 1ms 1440p/144hz Gsync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 3, 2019 If anything upgrade your RAM to 16GB with faster speed. BF5 will love that. However, since its DDR3 you better be committed to sticking with that platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
