what is the cheapest CPU that can max out EVERY game?

[kaylexmorgana]

I have been wondering this myself. other parts don't matter. let's say you have a titan x. what is the minimum cpu to MAX out EVERY game on the market ATM?

 

i7 4770k?

[don_svetlio]

i5 4460

[Nonco]

Probably even just a i5-4460

i5-4690k would be my guess.

[FuzzyYellow]

it depends on at what resolution. 

 

1080p, i5 4460,

 

1440p: i3 4130

 

4k: G3258/FX series/ Athlon/APU

My 4670 has problems running large cities in Cities: Skylines. Not possible to get stable 60FPS.

[arvark]

Xeon E3 1231 v3 (if you count cities skyline, otherwise i5 4430).

I think you're missing the point. a g3258 CANNOT max out every game at 4k, at all. Gotta do some research mate. Infact, none of those cpus will max out 4k in any way, shape, or form.

 

Higher resolution =/= Better cpu performance

Higher resolution = = More gpu usage, so less noticed cpu bottlnecking, the gpu will bottleneck first

I can max games on my i3.

That's not how it works at all.

This is funny HAHA

Apply sarcasm a bit more, lad.

[Aniallation]

It is to an extent.

[Arty]

NO CPU WILL EVER MAX OUT FSX HAHAHAHA

[FuzzyYellow]

That's not how it works at all.

then how does it work? 

[Sam Z Man]

then how does it work? 

As you increase the resolution the GPU load becomes greater, the amount of work done by the CPU stays the same.

true, but assuming you use the same card, the FPS will become lower at higher resolutions, and the CPU will be less and less of a factor in performance. the same thing happens when using a lower tiered GPU.

Did you not read the title.

[FuzzyYellow]

of course i did. Did you not read the post?

[Sam Z Man]

So your saying a G3258 can max out every game at 4K with a titan X.

[FuzzyYellow]

yup.

 

not counting FC4. cuz Ubisoft is dumb.

[Sam Z Man]

Bro are you high?

That's not maxing out every game.
