[SOLVED] GPU too weak for cpu

[Adas556]

What happens when GPU is too weak for cpu? In cpu heavy games, does the cpu perform worse?

Intel is fighting for relevance on the consumer CPU market right now. It's definitely not their biggest paycheck, consumer CPU sales, but it's still part of it, and they don't like losing in ANY segment of the market, so for once they are trying to actually do a little something with pricing that is out of their comfort zone. Usually they can ask whatever they want and get it, but not so much now since the Ryzen 3000 series and now the 5000 series, and if AMD ever manages to actually make these CPUs AVAILABLE, it could get a lot worse for Intel and Intel knows that. So they'll try to create a little leverage with pricing, much as AMD used to do.

At least for the lower to mid tiered models anyhow. Right now Intel has some options in those segments that make sense depending on what region you are from and what the need is. It's a pretty fine line though.

Where I live AMD is trash value for anything under the 5600X, which undercuts 10700K by $50 here officially. But thanks to scalping it's $50 costlier than 10700K 😑. I even recommended the 10400F to a friend because the cpu mobo ram all are cheaper on Intel by a pretty considerable margin and he'll need a cooler either way. But then there's the 10500 and 10600K which are still equal and costlier than the 3600. God knows what's on these sellers' minds
