So boys, I'm upgrading my PC soon for optimal gaming, I'm

>>382004601
if youre looking to play arma i would get the beefiest cpu possible, graphics card can always be upgraded later more easily

>>382004601
750 ti, your cpu will be fine for years

>>382004673
Yeah I felt you were right about Arma, but I can only afford one at the moment, and I want to be able to run other triple A titles at higher graphics. So do you still think I should prioritize a cpu over a gpu? Or should I go with this guy?

>>382004921
Well for most games the 750 ti will bottleneck you very much

its only for the kind of massive realistic world sims like arma and squad that cpu power would help you

but get a new gpu, upgrading cpu is more expensive anwyays, you would have to get new mobo, ram etc.

>>382004601
great moment to upgrade with ram and gpu prices skyrocketing

Hey thanks guys, think I'll grab a 1050 then. But I'm still curious, is the Processor the reason why big Arma servers areslowing me down or is it maybe my ram? I have 8 gigs.

New GPU. Definitly.

>>382005443
Get the 1050ti at least. Otherwise, not really all that worth it and you don't want to hit the vram wall next.

For comparing power of cards relative to yours.

>>382005443
New GPU. Double your RAM if you have available slots. Just buy the exact same model/number keep the timing in line. Otherwise consult your motherboard's installation guide and buy some RAM with that as a guideline.

>>382005549
Alright, 1050ti it is, I can spare a little more for a longer lasting card.
>>382005564
Ok then I'll look into grabbing some Ram.

Thanks for the quick response boys, helped me out a lot.

>>382005443
arma is a resource hog but if lowering the graphics settings doesnt affect your frame rate a lot its either cpu or ram, in this case i'd say cpu

also like other anon said i'd save up for a bigger upgrade than 750 -> 1050

>>382005443
arma has shit optmization
if I were you trying to upgrade, I'd just grab a used 970 and additional 8gb stick

get an rx 470 you fucking cuck

>>382004601
Upgrade hd to solid state if you havent already. I installed my os and big games onto it and my boot/load times are like nothing

>your cpu will be fine for years

>>382005846
implying you can find it for less then 400 euros due to crypto mining

>>382006439
You know I've heard about this and one of my buddies in college vouches for it.

>>382006678
First generation i7 is still more than enough for 60+ fps, retard. That's 8-9 years old CPUs.

I have a 980 ti and I5-3570K that I've overclocked, I can't run BF1 without stuttering and serious FPS drops. Definitely upgrade your CPU.

>>382007721
Then something is wrong, because I have an R9 290 and a 7600k and I get silky smooth 70-80 fps in BF1, only dropping below 60 when action gets going with tons of explosions.
>>382005443
For fucks sake don't get a 1050, get something worthwhile like a 1060 or RX 480. Good luck finding something with GPU prices the way they are though, maybe try craigslist and some sucker selling a used 390(x) for cheap.

>>382008421
I have 1440p and aim for 144fps, but changing the graphics settings does nothing to the FPS, the stuttering is purely because of the shit CPU.

>>382008552
Again, something is definitely wrong somewhere else, but I also don't think you'll be hitting 144 in 1440p with an i5 in the first place.

>>382008730
That's what I'm saying, the i5 is shit and definitely a bottleneck in modern gaming.

>>382008958
but the i5 isn't shit at all, and that's what I'm saying, is that the stuttering isn't the i5 but something else happening on your end. And when the i5 can hit 60fps easily in most if not all modern games, I fail to see how it's a bottleneck in the slightest.

>>382007507
he has old ass i5 not i7, it's just not enough for new games just like i5 2500k
