Best CPU for Gaming 2018

[Ahmet Alhurmuzy]

Hi everyone

 

Does really Intel cpu cause stuttering in games ????

Does really Ryzen cpu smoother than Intel cpu in games ????

 

Beacuse i had intel i5 6500 and i was see some drop and stutter in BF1.

 

Sooooo now i want buy a new CPU for Gaming beacuse I'm pc gamer.

 

What's the best and smoother cpu for all current games and for future ????

 

In my mind there's i5 8600 and Ryzen 5 2600.

 

 

 

Thanks for all response

I appreciate.

that's just fanboying

 

but to be honnest, both are great cpu's, but with the shortage right now ryzen will be a better option here. and becouse of more uses for cores and threads, the ryzen will be great! if you have a little more budget, you might want to look into the 2700, becouse it has 2 more cores. get a good mobo, 16 gigs of ram and a good gpu, and you'll have a great time gaming

The Intel Core i7-8700K and i9-9900K are the best gaming CPUs on the market. Not the best value gaming CPUs, but just the best gaming CPUs. The best value chips are AMD's Ryzen 5 2600 and Ryzen 7 2700X. The 2700 non-X isn't cheap enough to beat the 2700X in that regard.

 

Your i5 struggles in BF1 because the engine is optimized for 6 threads and more and that really shows. You'd lose all stutter probably when going to a 6700K or 7700K if you want to save some money over going for a new CPU and motherboard.

What games do you play?

[Dversity]

Do keep in mind that if you buy Ryzen, dont cheap out on the RAM. You'll want 3000+ mhz speeds.

Thats what you want anyway......... (On most CPUs)

Besides, it is a very small investment.

[tonymc]

cheapest option: i7 6700k, i7 7700k

Adjustable change option: r5 2600x, i5 8400

Intermediate price option: i7 8700k, r72700x

Most expensive option: 9900k

I would vote you go AMD as you just cant ignore the value of the ecosystem at the moment, a good MOBO, CPU and Ram will last you till 2020/2021 if your the type to update every year. If not you will be good for even longer. Until Intel stop with the stupid Intel tax i won't be looking at them at all. I have no bias and AMD have won me for now, my system is just below and it plays anything on Ultra at 1440p easy.

blessed amd with his ryzen, look what he has forced to do to intel, i3 4 cores, i5 6 cores, i9 8 cores. The competition has benefited us users, the expectation is high with ryzen 3. The best of the matter you do not have to change the socket until 2020, with intel sure you have to change the motherboard next year, there are many people changing their i7 8700k / z370 to i9 / z390 and it is possible that next year z390 will not be compatible with the new processors, to buy back the motherboard for the one you want to update.

My budget is about 200 to 250 Doller

Sooo if i buy i5 8600 or r5 2600 will i get stuttering on bf1 or bfv or any games ??

You need a fixed budget, as the "best gaming CPU" out there would probably be the 9900k, but that would set you back quite a lot. If you are on a tight budget, I'd reccommend something like a Ryzen 3 2200G, mid-range should go around like a Ryzen 5 2600 (I have that one actually) or a 2700X if you can afford it. 

Sooo r5 2600 good for gamers without bottleneck or stuttering on games ??? 

I have gtx 1060 gaming x 6gb

I'd go for a CPU with SMT or Hyperthreading if BF1/BFV is important to you. If those two are your options, the R5 2600 is the better option. You could probably get an i7-6700 or 6700K for the same price, though, so you won't need a new motherboard, unlike the 8600 and R5 2600.

If that includes a new board, you won't have enough to upgrade.

Sooo r5 2600 or i5 8400 , 8600 

Good for Gaming ?? 

Without bottleneck or stuttering with gtx 1060 6gb

The 1060 isn't fast enough to be CPU bottlenecked beyond 6 threads.

I don't have mobo 

The 250 doller is just budget for cpu 

I will buy mobo is not problem with me just want best cpu with my gtx 1060 6gb Gaming x and 16gb ram 2400.

And if i bought a r5 2600 is my ram enough??

So you sold your i5-6500 and motherboard?

 

DDR4-2400 is too slow for Ryzen, so either sell that as well and get DDR4-3000 or 3200 or go with the Intel option. The i5-8600 isn't the best value processor, though. In many places in the world prices are inflated heavily on Intel CPUs (in Europe, the 8700K is €500 now, and the i5-8400 is around €300), so if that's the case as well in your country, you might as well just keep the DDR4-2400 and get the R5 2600. You can always try overclocking the memory.

ryzen + RAM 3000 is recommended
Between 8400 and 8600, the 8400 has better price performance.

With RAM below 3000 best intel

yes, any of them, both intel and amd is fine for a 1060

ryzen is the list by question of price performance, but in general with intel will have a little more performance in games.

Soooo u mean i5 8600 is not best than 2600 for gamers ??

 

Yahhhh i sold cpu and mobo and i will sell my memory too to i get new cpu and mobo also fast memory.

Soooo if i want buy ryzen i should sell my 2400 mhz memory and buy fast memory , other way keep my 2400 mhz memory with new 8th generation intel cpu !!
