Is an Intel Core i5-3570K upgrade worth it?

[Elrment]

Hi everyone, I currently have an i5-3450 @ 3.10 GHz processor. Is it worth upgrading to the i5-3570?

 

[swifty_morgan]

for what? i run a 3.3/3.7 cpu. does enough for me. why waste money?

if you mean the non K vs, unless somebody is giving you the chip, no. you would need to run benchmarks to find any difference.

5-10% boost for $200 ! Your processor is good enough. Upgrade the video card .

Oh, I am just trying to find a good CPU upgrade for Battlefield 4. I have an h77 pro4/mvp motherboard so I think it hinders my choices honestly...

Ah, it is a k? the performance increase if you have an aftermarket cooler and z board already is worth about
$16.

Oh..haha I have a gtx 760. I'm just really wanting to upgrade for a better battlefield 4 experience.

unless you get some crackerjack with a high end processor to give you and knowledge to over clock it to 5.0GHZ............ be happy with what you have.

If you overclock, the 3570k can be up to 30% faster. Without OC, 10% at most. You can decide for yourself if the performance boost is worth the money.

Well alright. I am grateful just curious how I should proceed in upgrading that's all.

Your minimums are going to be about 59 fps, and your screen cannot show any increases above 60.
You already have a good gaming processor, you wouldnt notice any difference.

You have a cpu rated in the top tier of toms hardware's gaming cpu charts. If a developer writes a game your cpu cant play really well, he or she will go bankrupt.

Get another GTX 760 and sli . i am not a fanboy of that though

30% above 59 fps is 76fps, and the monitor goes at 60 fps. net gain on minimum fps, 1 frame.
This is assuming no 144 htz or sim monitor, but I suspect not because of the bangs per $ gaming rig.
