UserBenchmark the right way to find the upgrade

[nogorakk]

I wanted to know if the site called userbenchmark is a good way to see what part you should replace to get better fps my cpu is peforming well my gpu isnt while in game my gpu is on low usage and cpu is 100

no, userbenchmark is trash. post your system specs here and we'll help;

sounds like your cpu is actually trash

Then your cpu isnt performing well.

 

Gpu doesnt get the chance to be loaded because the cpu is too busy to be able to pump enough new data to it (hence the low usage, its waiting for the cpu).

 

Forget userbenchmark, just list your components, what games, and people can advice much better.

i5 7400     3ghz boost 3.5 but i never get 3.5 max 3.3  

gpu 1060

3.3 is pretty low for a 7400. how are your thermals. you might want to give it a good clean and upgrade your cooling. what ram do you have?

What's so bad about User Benchmark? I know it sucks for GPUs but I use it all the time to compare CPUs with eachother, especially old with new.

all the tech community basically says userbenchmark is not credible, especially for their cpu benchmarks

i would expect your cpu to be limiting , especially since it's a low clocked 4c/4t cpu. if the performance you're getting is acceptable, and you can live with it, carry on, there's nothing much you can do. if you want to upgrade, we need to talk about your budget, but I'd look at a cpu upgrade first.

what motherboard do you have? what prices can you find for the 8700?

7000 series and 8000 series are not supported by the same motherboard.

msi MS-B9071

like 300 euros

 

what is the best cpu i can get with this motherboard

oh so you have a msi pre-built with a proprietary motherboard. i think the 7700 is the best you can get. but it's not really worth it if it's more than 200 euros

for 300 eurosyou can get a ryzen 5 3600, motherboard and ram and upgrade everything, for better performance

I learned CPU monkey looks more reliable tough most of these sites aren't very good :I

So what is the best way to measure a CPU's performance apart from benchmark?

For normal people, you can use benchmarks like Cinebench R15/R20 also youtube reviewers usually do great job by comparing CPUs with other tools like AIDA64, Zip, Photoshop, gaming etc.

cinebench, reputable review websites and youtube channels, like gamersnexus, hardwareunboxed, techdeals, anandtech
