Are these CPUs really that different?

[sohankpatel]

So, I was looking at the Battlefield 1 system requirements, and the one that caught my eye was that it needed a i5-6600. These are my specs:
i5-4670K
GTX 760
16 GB RAM
It is not so much a question of should I upgrade the CPU. it is a question of; Is there really that much of a difference? Is the performance increase from my CPU to a i5-6600 really significant enough that the game NEEDS it?
On a side note, will my CPU bottleneck if I get a GTX 1070 or a GTX 1080?

With a good OC your 4670k will be stronger than a 6600

It would work very well with a 1070 or 1080 but if your aim is lower resolution but higher fps (>100) then a higher end overclocked CPU would bring some gains but for higher resolution and 60fps gaming then you really are fine.

No bottleneck , get the card you want.

no. Notice that they also list the AMD FX-6350 CPU which is much weaker than the i5-6600. I think they just listed the specs for the weakest machines they had in the office not the actual weakest that can run the game.

They tend to put the the recommended as what they have or what they know can do it at 1080p 60fps. It's weird how they set recommended, like if 750ti is lowest recommended GPU, a GTX 480 would be good even if it says it wont but the GTX 480 is stronger than 750ti by a landslide
