Drippp 1820 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 So I currently have a ASUS geforce GTX 1080 turbo paired with the i5 7500, I'm currently thinking of upgrading to an i7 k series for a boost in fps but Im not sure if I will see that big of a boost basically seeing what you guys have to say. My specs Windows 10 home 525gb ssd 16 gb ram i5 7500 ASUS geforce GTX 1080 turbo Gigabyte H270-gaming 3 and 650w 80+ EVGA PSU Quote Link to comment
Heinz Gormittz 78 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I upgraded to a 7700K last month and my FPS in Kavala tripled. It's an extremely well valued CPU- it has high performance and relatively low cost for the performance. Quote Link to comment

Rake from asylum 24 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I would go for the i7, i get around 50+ frames in Kavala on 2160p Quote Link to comment
cuzzicann 144 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I have an i7-8700k, of course this will require you to get a new motherboard / RAM. I have heard very good things about the i7-7700k aswell though. But I run 60 fps on full ultra, full shadows, full sky, at 8km view distance / 8km object distance, while constantly recording without any frame loss.

Theak 113 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Wrong. Cellphones are using ddr4 now so the cell companies are buying A BUTT LOAD! Cryptomining relys heavily on GPU not CPU (Graphic card vs processor) And now ya know Quote Link to comment

Heinz Gormittz 78 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I have Processor: i7 7700K 4.2GHz GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 1060 6GB VRAM video card RAM: Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4 16GB CPU Cooler:Corsair H50 Liquid Cooler I forget what my motherboard is, but remember this: If you are upgrading to an I7 you need to make sure your motherboard can handle that, and DDR4 RAM. Upgrading to an i7 is always more expensive than just getting a new CPU, because (at least in my case) you also need to get a new motherboard and RAM to support it. Quote Link to comment

So I'd have to get a new RAM as well to support a new cpu? Quote Link to comment

Heinz Gormittz 78 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 If you don't have an i7 right now yes you will. i7 and up processors only work with DDR4 RAM. On top of this, DDR4 RAM does not fit into DDR3 RAM slots, which is why it will be likely you will need to get a higher end motherboard, which can cost you $170.00+ Quote Link to comment

cuzzicann 144 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Also look for combo deals on newegg or amazon. You can usually get a processor + motherboard with a discount. 2 minutes ago, Heinz Gormittz said: Yep. Like Cuzzi said with those specs you should only need to upgrade to processor. Like I said, 7700K is best value from my experience. He will need both a new motherboard if getting the 8700k it's a LGA1151 (300series) socket vs his LGA1151 socket Quote Link to comment

Stupid ass u dont use ram to mine cryptocurrency, the only thing worth mining with is GPU's and ASIC's Yo bro fuck playin video games buy yourself some 100 dollar graphics cards that are good memory performance and mine a crypto that just came out. Can easily make a fuck ton of money if you do it right Quote Link to comment

DDR4 ram relies on CPU socket LGA1151. You can get i7s in literally any other processor socket. i7-4790k, for example, does not require DDR4 ram Quote Link to comment
