Well by benchmarks I mean like FPS in games kinds of videos.Benchmarks are other things, gameplay is also other thing, do not mistaken one for another.
But surely your cpu is outdated.
Why not overclock it since its an K CPU, maybe you've seen an Youtube benchmark which has overclocked sandy bridge.
Which motherboard and PSU?
I expected like stable 60FPS or higher 1080p in Kingdom Come Deliverance. Other games like Witcher 3 run great (83-90FPS).What are you getting and what did you expect for FPS lets say.
That mobo isnt for overclocking, do not try that.
For PSU brand and model is needed.
My mobo sadly isn't made for overclocking.Even modern quad cores struggle in some cpu heavy games so an old 2500k at stock speed will definitely be a limiting factor. Have you tried overclocking your cpu?
Why RAM? Yea its only DDR3 but still.. its 16GB. Well I wanted to dodge an uprage of the mobo D:your cpu is bottlenecking your gpu for about 70% and that is a lot!
You should consider upgrading your cpu but with that you will also have to upgrade your mb and ram.
What he ment was i think that you don't have much of an upgrade path with that cpu if i am correct the highest cpu you can go is I7 3770k.If you can find it on used market and its a waste consider of your motherboard limitationed.So if you upgrade said cpu you will have to upgrade mobo and ram which will be a high cost.Why RAM? Yea its only DDR3 but still.. its 16GB. Well I wanted to dodge an uprage of the mobo D:
So if i upgrade my CPU then I have to get a new mobo + a new windows install correct?
