I bought this processor 5 years ago. No plans on upgrading in the near future.
What does that tell you?

What an oddly proportioned lady.

>What does that tell you?
That you don't plan to upgrade in the near future
>>55896072
Would smash
>>55896155
>>55896190
Totes.
>>55896072
You should if you wanted to get a couple of pcie ssds. Maybe a sound card. A couple of gpu in sli.
Buy new stuff. Goy.
>>55896072
That you dont have need for many PCI-E lanes
>>55896072
Are you me
>>55896072
That Intel made a terrible business decision and will likely never be as nice with their offerings ever again.
>>55896072
That you're poor?
>>55896072
That if you play games then you have a shit gpu as well or you are too anal to realise/admit the 2500k (especially the i5) no longer cuts it
>>55897135
>no longer cuts it
What game does the 2500K no longer "cut"?
>>55897156
what gpu & what settings? then I will list the games
>>55897259
Graphics cards and settings are easier to change than a cpu+mobo+RAM.
What game does the 2500K no longer "cut"?
>>55896072
I remember like it was yesterday that people were worshipping the i5-2500k + GTX 560Ti build.
>it's been 5 years
Damn...
>>55897283
>tfw that's my rig
still going strong
>>55897277
Arma 3
>>55897293
I had the same rig until Dark Souls 3 came around and showed that the 560Ti is no longer applicable for new releases.
>>55897404
That is one of the toughest games, CPU-wise.
>>55897277
Will not reliably record/stream in 720p+ with a dual monitor setup while gayming . I've tried the 980ti and 390 neither could handle it, even on a Vulkan based game like doom the CPU will choke.
>>55897277
Dwarf fortress
>>55896072
That you finally grew out of video games.
>>55897156
my 4.4ghz 2500k runs at 100% in GTA5 and BF4
>>55897910
well it would be bad if it wasn't
>>55897283
>>55897293
Mine too. No reason to upgrade since I hardly play any games anymore.
>>55897785
So what?
>>55897842
>Will not reliably record/stream in 720p+ with a dual monitor setup while gayming
Encoding is CPU intensive. You have added a CPU-intensive task to the game.
>>55897910
BF4 is known to be light on CPUs:

This is a joke, right? Normies don't record or stream with that setup.
Inb4
>normies xD
We were specifically talking about pulling games, not games AND recording on dual monitor setup.
