Hi Setsul guys,
I have an i5 2500k (never overclocked) with 32gb (salvaged) ddr3 and a gtx 1060.
Besides TF2 I sometimes play more recent titles like hitman, dying light, or cyberpunk. I use 1080p.
I aim at 100fps in ..fps, and 60 for the rest.
Even TF2 is not always stable at 120+fps when the browser runs on the second screen.
I have no plans to bin the whole PC and I'm looking at upgrades to keep gaming on w10 for another 3-5 years.
The options I think I have:
- overclock without increasing voltage (i have a decent aircooler)
- upgrade to i7 3770k/2600k
- upgrade to i7 3770k/2600k then overclock those
I have a hard time finding recent reliable benchmarks of those CPUs especially in recent games that use more threads. I don't feel I can trust gpucheck/cpu monkey types of benchmarks and would be grateful to receive some advice.
Then depending on how that goes I may later on buy a more recent gpu like a 3060 or rx 7600, no real idea yet and open to advice.
cheers
