Worse than a 960?!?!?

Go to solution Solved by harrynowl,

But the GHz is less than the cpu I just had

Gigahertz isn't everything, just like BHP isn't everything in a car :)

As you can see at the same clock speed the i5 4690k absolutely bags the FX cpus (on a single core). Which is why simply looking at cores and GHz is misleading :)

 

I'd look at something like an i5 4460.

 

Oh and also; the GTX960 isn't 960MHz and the GTX970 isn't 970MHz- that isn't how they are named.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at other than a parts list.

You're saying it peforms bad? That's because your CPU is absolute garbage.

Please stop trolling. It isn't funny and you only make yourself look bad.

i5 4460 would be appropriate for the GPU, but you'll need a new motherboard as well.
