i7 CPUs

[Guest]

Hello, I have an i5 3450 CPU with an LGA 1155 socket motherboard.

 

I wanted to upgrade to an i7 because OBS records games with worse quality compared to a 240p camera (I play ultra settings in games like CS, Fallout 4, Spec Ops: the Line.)

In addition, I would like to stream a little bit, but with how the video is recorded to the hard drive, no one would watch streams. 
 

TLDR:

(Too long didn't read)

Is there a significant difference in bump in performance from an i5 3450 between the:

i7-2600

And

i7-3770

 

Or would it warrent spending the money on a new MoBo to get an i7 6700?

I only have DDR3 Ram, so warranting the chance 6700s support DDR3 (1333 & 1600) in DDR3L slots.

If I were you, I would actually do neither and wait a few months for the i7-7700k to come out and buy that. To answer your question though, you will see a significant performance gain for recording and streaming with an i7.

Sound like OBS isn't setup right at all if all your seeing is 240p like video captures...

its a 10% performance boost really like with all intel next gen cpu. It is worth going from a 3770 to a 6700

Ummm, maybe in gaming. The OP specifically stated that he records with OBS which will be a lot more than just 10%.

Considering the expected price of $350~ US, yeah, waiting for that seems pretty good considering

@xephoneration and @DeadEyePsycho claim a 10%+ increase.

 

((((100 * 10(3k-4k)) * 10(4k-6k)) * 10(6k-7k)) = 100,000 times increase minimum)

 

 

@SkilledRebuilds I have considered that but I'm unsure of what would be wrong with OBS.

Allow other modifier hotkeys (I only have a record and stop record hotkey set)

I think that's everything and a bit more that really matters. I listed the check boxes that are checked with just what it was called.

That has to be the most broken math I've ever seen.

My i5 5200U does better than that when it comes to video recording with OBS.

I tried multiplying by .1 but it didn't work.

I just realized my error....
