Hey tech experts.
I'm wondering it the 4th gen I5 starting to get obsolete in terms of gaming performance. I've paired my I5 4460 3,2 Ghz with a 1070, thinking hitting 60fps @ultra would be a piece of cake. So far I've had mixed results, games like BF1 run @60 on ultra, while on the otherhand Mass Effect Andromeda has fps dips. This must be a cpu related issue?
What's your experiences?
Do you pair high end GPU's with old CPU's. What sort of performances are you getting on your rigs?

The processor should be capable of pushing enough to feed that GPU.
I'd be inclined to suggest it's a problem with the game. Look at things like 7 Days to Die. The game is poorly optimised, so it runs like shit from time to time, fine others.
I'd expect ME:A is about the same.

You bought mass effect............ Fucking kill yourself.
Most people still run i5 an 2500k which was released back in 11'
You will be fine, i myself usually upgrade my cpu around every 4 years.

TB ended his ME:A stream because of framedrops and that guys system is overkill. Game is just shit.
And as long as consoles exist, CPU performance wont be that much of a deal (except in PC exclusives). I could get by with a fucking Core 2 Duo until the PS4 came out.

Xbox and PlayStation are getting more and more hardware updates, they're getting more powerful. The 'I buy a console that'll last 8 years' argument has become invalid because there are already 3 PS4 versions and the third, more powerful, Xbox 1 is on it's way. Games will start to use CPU more, because games dont need to look super realistic to be appealing. Look at overwatch, its not heavy on graphics at all.

No
my I5 4460 3,2 Ghz
yours is.
>>59507652
I would say some people and not at 3.2/3.4 they don't

It's not CPU-intensive at all.
>>59507541
yaay. we have same processor. but i mainly use mine for dota 2.
>>59507652
just went from 3570K to 1700X
good switch for me, rendering is ez pz now

Why is that graph the most misleading graph I've seen posted in the last few months? pls don't use it, the scale is horrible
>>59509173
it looks to me they add min fps and average fps, to punish cpus that would have high or comparable average but noticeably lower minimum fps or significant drops
>>59509173
How is it misleading at all, you fucking retard?
>>59509173
What the actual fuck are you talking about?
>>59509359
You're retarded too. How can you people have trouble reading such a simple table?
>>59509476
ad hominem ad hominem amen
>>59509359
>it looks to me they add min fps and average fps
Do you have some sort of brain damage?
>>59509554
That's not what ad hominem means, you retarded cunt. You didn't make any sort of argument. You just proved that you're too dumb to understand a bar graph with a legend attached.
>>59509580
Yeah totally not what it means
Here, I fixed the graph with mspaint. Your arguments literally scream from your posts
>>59507541
I have the same CPU, thinking about a cheaper Ryzen next
should I even upgrade yet
