#368 TF2 benchmarks in TF2 General Discussion

I sent you a friend invite on Steam to help you out, but you didn't accept. Guess I'll continue posting here!

Man, a 1070 is a lot of money down the drain for only playing TF2.

I forgot to ask what case you have. I'll go with mATX for now!

i5 6600 since clock speed in TF2 matters and you don't have a tight budget. New RAM because DDR4 on Skylake, and unless if you have a valid reason for more than 8GB of RAM then it's best to save the $30-40.

#366 TF2 benchmarks in TF2 General Discussion

If you buy any recent processor, then yes you will need a new motherboard. A new CPU will help you immensely in other games as well.

I'll ask the Setsul questions: Overclocking yes/no?
Budget?
Any games besides TF2?

I recommend we move to the PC Build Thread so not to hijack this thread.

#4 Is it possible/worth it to upgrade my PC? in Hardware

Hey there, hopefully I can help you out a bit!

First, I'd recommend you download this and check your temperature of the CPU/GPU in idle and on load please! http://openhardwaremonitor.org/

Yes you can upgrade and get a boost in performance, but you're not gonna be able to "stay above 120fps without using a config." Valve makes it hard to do that in a (9?) year old game!
If you are streaming 720p@30fps I think you could make do with an i5 still. On your socket you could upgrade to an i5 2500 or i5 3550/3570 used and get a reasonable boost but it's probably not worth it. If you are really adamant on playing TF2 without a config, you will either have to lower your expectations or build a whole new PC.

If you do decide to build a whole new PC check out the PC Build Thread

#2 Just a heads up the i5 4690k is on a different socket and even if it was, it's on a locked motherboard so no point in a K CPU!

Elepimpmy screen has been lagging and my fps has been spiking this past month i also have been having these weird instances where my screen freezes for like half a second randomly ever often. im not sure if this is a gpu or cpu.
My specs are:
CPU: AMD A10-6800K APU 4.10GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX760 4G SuperClocked
what should i upgrade to help with these and maybe increase my preformance if possible.

Assuming you are talking about TF2, and that "spiking" means FPS drops, then it is your CPU. It is a big bottleneck. Even for a 760. If Source games are your main priority, then you can consider an i3 4170 and a micro ATX motherboard as a "cheap" upgrade. Feel free to drop by the PC Build Thread

downpouraite so im starting to feel my system chug so im wondering what i should change
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 760

If Source games are chugging, it's your CPU.
