i5 7600k vs i7 8700K

hello would it be worth it to upgrade from a i5 7600k to a i7 8700k ? im playing on 3440x1440 Acer predator x34 100hz with asus strix 1080 ti OC......will be there any improvment in fps? bcs i dont know why but i have just 60-80 fps on bf1 and if i checked benchs average was cca 115

I dont think so, 8700k isnt really much faster than the 7600 except that it has more cores and more threads, usually that doesnt help much in gaming, I wouldnt upgrade, at such resolutions its really more up to your graphics cards

yep maybe ill just buy a better cooler and try to get him about 5ghz

but one thing is weird.....if i put settings from ultra to medium fps stay same

Maybe your FPS are being capped and you can actually reach higher than 72

whats your monitor's refresh rate? is vsync on?

 

[6dawo6]

100hz and vsync always off

I don't know man... also are you using DX12 on bf1? its a bit system impairing, I still think your frames are correct for 4k gaming on ultra settings

 

[6dawo6]

i dont have dx12 option in bf1 and 3440x1440 is not 4k its ultrawide 2K

 

[6dawo6]

but yes maybe im expecting too much from 1x 1080ti

 

[Rodrigodrt]

Oh yeah right, I just looked the 3440 lol... but then again... 3440x1440 isnt really 4k or 2k, its in a between with a sorta 21:9 ratio, regardless, its still a lot of stuff to render...

and at such resolution with everything ultra-ed up... to me, 60 min to 80 max sounds about right... but lets see if someone else thinks differently.

FYI you would need a new motherboard to run an 8th gen Intel.
