Is i5 2310 bad at gaming in future games?

[Mohammed Allam]

I have h61m s2p with i5 2310 and 8gb of ram as well as r9 290 vapor x
So is the 2310 a bottlenick in future and heavy games like gta

the cpu is just fine, might want to upgrade in the near future though.

Worry about it when you get there. It isn't as if games were going to break on you overnight - modern CPUs have not improved enough since yours for game developers to go on that steep of a processing requirement hill.

Not for a while, I wouldn't worry about it for now.

When you run into a game that does not run well enough for you to enjoy it and trace the bottleneck to the CPU. In general, if you need to ask if you should upgrade, the answer is no.

When I had my Core2Duo with 8GB RAM, I thought I would tough it out until Haswell came out but for the sort of workload I was dealing with at the time, I really needed at least 16GB RAM. I ended up building around an i5-3470 and put 16GB in it, that did wonders for my sanity but was still not quite enough to eliminate swapping so I bumped it to 32GB RAM two months later.

When you actually NEED to upgrade, you NEED to upgrade. (And you won't need to ask if you need to or should.)

Upgrade when you feel the performance is no longer good enough for you. When will that happen? Whenever you feel it is no longer good enough for you.
