EvilBrain1:


Most high end games don't use more than 30% of the recent i5's processing power and many don't use more than 2 cores. The main bottleneck is the GPU not the CPU. In modern gaming the graphics card is the star of the show and all you need from your CPU is to keep the graphics card fed which an i5 can do easily.

An i7 may or may not last 10 years but for most of that time you won't see any significant benefit for the added cost. Plus the extra you spend on it will mean you'll need to settle for a less powerful graphics card which will bottleneck your performance and go obsolete long before your i7 does.

The newer i5s are more than powerful enough to keep you satisfied for years to come. Hell, an i3 or even a pentium dual core can do a decent job if paired with a decent GPU. They may not be future proof, but they are more powerful than the netbook-class joke of a CPU that the PS4 and XB1 share.

Like I said before, if you do CPU intensive work like 1080p or 4k video editing, then you can justify an i7. But if you are building a PC just for gaming, then you should spend the bulk of your money on the component that matters the most: the graphics card.

we r saying the same thing only I choose to go with core I7

If you are yet to play SHADOW OF MORDOR, then uve not started enjoying your ps4.

Just to buttress my point about how CPUs are seriously overpowered, here's an image someone captured from the new Far Cry 4.


8 core CPU and a brand new, AAA game launched just days ago is running on only one. And yet, look at the frame rate! 127fps!!!

And this is an AMD CPU whose individual cores are far slower than Intel's.

Go and buy a real console like the PS4.

You pc gamers and your cores and graphics cards.


See, we ps4 homeboys don't need to worry about upgrading our hardware.

Silence peasant!

Instead of talking nonsense why don't you spend some time meditating on the idea of playing games at 1080p, ultra settings at 120fps. Perhaps then you will realize the truth, that you are living in squalor with your pathetic 900p, 30fps, medium PC settings equivalent machine.

When you have achieved enlightenment and are ready to ascend to the glorious master race, come back and see me. I will be there to guide you on your journey.

lol.

It takes one good virus to destroy your console (pc)
Or simply time- when your registry/memory gets full and your PC slows down.

ERM, it is launching on only one CPU. Games don't consume resources starting up. The question is will the game start to stutter when you're fighting a rhino and 12 soldiers.

I remember the last battle of hl2 ep2. This was yes ago. The system I had at the time was freezing like no mans biz

If anybody is interested, I have 3 free steam keys to Insurgency, a nice multiplayer tactical first person shooter. Click on this link to get the game, but you better move fast before they're all gone. And sorry but it's PC master race only.


Source: There's a humble bundle sale going on. You can get 4 games for any amount, 10 games for $6.30 or 11 games including Saint's Row 4 for $12.

Edit: Apparently nobody here likes free shìt. All 3 keys are still available which I find very strange. I mean the game is worth $15 and its good! Anyway, I'm going to offer them out elsewhere so final warning to anybody that wants.
