e7500 vs q8300 on GTX 560

[TechNoobiee]

Which processor has less bottleneck? My resolution is 1600x900. I've tried playing Mad Max 2015 with the q8300, was running about 25fps. Would the e7500 fair better? TIA!

Was the CPU utilization close to 100%? The E7500 is faster when a single thread is used, but the Q8300 is better for multi threaded applications. You can't expect good performance with a system that doesn't meet the minimum requirements. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mad-max-pc-requirements-revealed/1100-6429560/

Yes a 100%, but even League of Legends was running on medium on about 30-40 FPS.

Can you give some applications that use multi threading?

 

[GhislainG]

If the CPU is used at 100%, then League of Legends is multi threaded and 30-40 FPS is acceptable for that system. What does Resources Monitor show for the processor? Does it show all 4 cores being quite busy while you play? The E7500 has faster cores, but it only has 2 instead of 4.

Depending on what motherboard you have you should be able to overclock the q8300 by raising the FSB
