Hello,

Would i see a big performance jump from my i5-2500k to a i7-6700k? If you guys know it? Ofcourse it isn't out yet.

For gaming? 

 

If so probably not. For rendering... YES. Mainly because it is an i7

kinda a dumb question but for the most part even if you dont see a massive CPU Gain you will see gains in your compatibility of your mother board with things like ddr4 USB 3.1 and type C 

M.2 Support. better onboard sound etc. 

 

So If you are not looking at Just the CPU performance then yes its a big upgrade.

Yeah for gaming becaue even though my 2500k is clocked at 4.5 its bottlenecking my 980 ti i think, cpu usage is well over 90% all the time in bf4 and gta v

Really?! Oh right... What is your build by the way? At the moment?

Expect a marginal some improvement in single-threaded performance and a large improvement in multi-threaded performance...

 

that's all I can say...

I have that same habit. I'm also still on a 2500k and have never felt the urge/need to upgrade. Though, I might do it with Skylake, not sure yet.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

gta v is a cpu hungry game so that could be the cause xD

I5-2500k 4.5

I have 12 gb of corsair ram but 2 slots on the mobo are dead i think because when i put a ram stick in either of the 2 and boot up my pc its boot looping, so its currently 8gb

Mobo msi z77a GD55

Gpu reference 980 ti

1200w corsair powersupply ^^ i know overkill

Wait and see, it might be worth going over to Skylake and DDR4 when the new gen CPU's are out. I would wait out a bit

That is just going to be those games though, I went from a 4670k to a 4790k and literally only ever saw improvement in bf4 and crysis 3. I would assume gta 5 would do that same considering the load on my i7. Many people believe high end intels won't hold your gpu back. Well that was on a 780, can't imagine a card nearly twice as fast not having trouble with a older 2500k. I would think a 6700k would be a bigger jump than most think.

No one knows, the "10% IPC tendency" won't stay forever. Pascall will be 10x times better according by nVidia's CEO Math™ and AMD Zen is coming
