Yes... It looks like the game is poorly optimised....

That said, game like Watch_dogs 2 are very CPU intensive (to the point were they can max out a 6700K!)

So the upgrade to an i7 is not completely useless (but not necessary at the same time)

Yes I agree. Watch_Dogs 2 is super poorly optimized though. Like a 1080 was struggling at 1440p

It looks like a copy of TF2 IMO, so I would NEVER pay more than $20 for it.

would i be able to play watch dogs 2 at 1080 60 fps with my setup

Yes, just without using the Ultra preset on every single setting

Idk if it is poorly optimized or just extremely intensive, I think that it is a mixture of both TBH

I also think that making the Ultra setting have AA super bumped doesnt help

Basically the lower the res, the more likely a highend card (1070 up) is to be bottlenecked by the CPU. So either get a faster multithreaded CPU or increase the resolution. That won't net more FPS but it will utilise your GPU more.

 

I've been telling people for over a year to try and get the best thread/core CPU they can as games are wanting more cores, especially DX12 games, so it's only going to get worse. I had the option of 5820k build when I made my rig and everyone said "you don't need X99 for gaming its a waste", I shouldn't have listened!

so did i make a choice for my current gpu and a 1080 later?

The 5820K is a beast! I couldn't be happier, it beats a 7700K (at 4.8GHZ) when running at a mere 3.3

Theres no point getting a 1080 GTX to use on a 1080P monitor, no matter what processor. The CPU just cant process the information quick enough for the GPU to be fully utilisied.

 

Upgrade your monitor first, 1440P is the sweet spot at the moment and then the GPU

a 1440p moniter in my country costs around the same price that i paid for my whole rig

What country? I can believe a 1440P + Gsync is that expensive, but a normal 1440P can be had for the price of an i5

Tom's hardware review of the 7700K

1) 7700K is not released

2) That is a preview

3) The IPC of a 7700K will be higher than any previous intel CPU (not by much)

4) Your CPU will be faster in multi threaded apps - aka handbrake, photoshop etc

5) 7700k @4.8ghz will destroy 5820k (3.3ghz) in anything on 4 cores or less

1. That is a retail sample
2. Games are starting to use more threads (Watch_dogs 2 for example)

I don't see any comparisons to a 5820k

 

I think I will go 6/8 core once kabylake X hits

It's German so I can't compare directly to Denmark (sure you guys get bummed for import tax like GB)

I probably should have mentioned that I was comparing it to my own results...

27 Inch non gsync, its gsync that ramps the price up, that and 144hz
