I7 860 for CS:GO?

[Bananasplit_00]

found an awesome deal for a PC with an I7 860, can it run CS:GO? probably can just making sure, i need answers quick if i want it because its a freaking steal right now

I would say a toaster could run CS:GO, but that processor should be able to run it even better.

Did you mention anything about FX 9590? i don't see it either, should i just report him for being a troll? ok done.

Good God, someone mentioned a toaster running CS:GO, I made a joke about the 9590 actually being a toaster. Not the first time I've made that joke, certainly won't be the last. Some of you (and I'm not necessarily referring to you, @hex4) need to take a skin sample and make sure that it's of a safe thickness level. 

 

Yes, an i7-860 will more than suffice for CS:GO, especially if paired with a discrete GPU. Any discrete GPU. In fact, a piece of cardboard with "I AM A GPU" written on it and shoved into a PCIe x16 slot might be able to handle it. 

 

I apologize for starting yet another battle royale between people incapable of understanding humor. AMD processors have use cases in which they shine, so do Intel. AMD has also put out utter crap like the 9590, just as Intel put its name on the Pentium D and, well, every Atom ever released.

THANK YOU.

 

it was a good joke now can people just leve it at that, the CPU is enough for CS:GO

My old i7-920 PC had a reference (or just a blower?) GTX260 in it. The card can still handle things like Skyrim at 1080p on ultra, although you have to turn the details down a bit in caves. I think you're ok with it on CS:GO. I wouldn't throw Witcher 3 at it, but for older or less demanding games it's still perfectly good.

Locking this for a few moments while I clean it up.

thank you. this wasent supposed to be a flame war

[GzeroD]

Open for business. Please stay on topic

[hex4]

So yeah, i7 860, best bet unless you want to go to Haswell or Skylake, don't waste cash on AMD right now, wait for ZEN if you really must.

OP just get what you want, I can keep showing benchmarks about CPUs if you want me to, so you can get a better Idea of how the different CPUs really are, from a non fanboy.

No even some toasters can't run csgo i had a netbook with an atom d425 and team fortress 2 wouldn't even launch with it it might have been the 8mb of vram though.

I would like to remind everyone that this is a topic about if a i7 860 and a GTX 260 can play CSGO. 

[hex4]

Same architecture, just OC your 860.

OP you can maybe run 720p low setting with the gtx 260

well its CS:GO its not that demanding, prople were saying they were able to run medium settings with a 8800GT so i think a 260 will be pretty fine, i looked it up and its basically doubble the preformance of a 8800GT
