I currently own a i5 8400, I shouldn’t be upgrading because my current cpu is pretty decent but I am upgrading to a 240hz monitor from a 144hz.
Basically my cpu just can’t pump out that many frames at my current settings.
I know it’s not the GPU because the GPU (1060 6GB) hangs at 20-40% usage while the CPU hangs at 80-100% usage.
I am still gonna upgrade to a 2060 but the main question is the CPU here.
If I purchase the i5 I am gonna be overclocking to 5.0ghz
If I purchase the i7 I am gonna be overclocking to 5.0ghz-5.1ghz. (Possibly even 4.9ghz, only a 0.10 difference but it helps)
Any decent difference in performance with these two processors?
Cheers!
