Do I really need an upgrade ?

Go to solution Solved by Colexd,

no need to get 16gb ram, at least that\s what i think. check your memory usage to see if you need more

try overclocking with a cooler

for the ssd part, it doesnt affect game performance, only loading times.

WD black are just expensive hard drives. miles away from a sdd. If you want, you can get a ssd to put windows and some often used apps.

The 4670k with 1060 (do you have the 6gb or 3gb one) should be able to hit 60fps afaik

Reinstalling windows means that you start fresh again with your system. This would mean that you get rid of the programs, clean the registry and the whatnots that are possibly slowing down your computer.

Hello there people !

 

Okay so basically the story went like this : Had an SSD in my build played AAA games with my 4670k and GTX1060 + 8 GB of RAM everything worked fine.

Had to switch out the SSD and bought a 1 TB WD Black HDD (I thought those are fast) now my system is eons slower and the games keep stuttering.

 BF1 is unplayable , BF4 on Ultra too and TF 2 lags every time I press any function button that changes my volume or starts the browser or anything alike.

My Build is suited in a mid tower desktop PC and temps look fine.

 

I still run the standard Intel cooler on my 4670k (not OC'ed)

 

I thought with my upgrade from the GTX660 to the 1060 I could enjoy some quality 60 FPS gameplay back home but boy was I wrong.

 

So this is where you people need to step in and save my ass  - My thoughts so far :


Need to Upgrade to 16 GB of Ram ?

Overclock the CPU with a new Cooling Solution ?

(Buy a new LGA 1150 Cpu ?)

Buy another SSD ?

 

I am really looking forward to your opinion boys and girls !

 

Thank you in Advance,

Adil 

 

PS: Gintama is a great series

How does reinstalling windows benefit me; that is quite a hassle :(

your issues with TF2 seem like a software problem

Battlefield 1 is prob not runnig because it needs a i5-6600K at least

Replacing SSD with an HDD should not cause all your games to become unplayable. I agree a fresh windows install might improve your situation. And I don't know why you got rid of the SSD, but an SSD does make any system moar snappy. So you might want to consider getting one again anyways.

 

*PS: I think moar memory might also benefit you.

Really ? Doesn't that mean I need a whole new Motherboard and CPU for the near future ?

no you can overclock your i5 so it will perform on par or better than the i5-6600K on stock speeds

 

Also you can upgrade to a 4790k if you need more threads the 4790k can still compete with modern i7s

also the i5-6600K is the minimum for bf 1

In which way is the minimum ? Stock speed performance wise ?

 

So I should just buy an SSD and OC the CPU with a new cooler ?

Do we all agree ?
