Subject: upgrade CPU
norega 28.05.22 - 11:10am
I just upgraded from a 8086k to a 12700k with z690 motherboard that has gen 4 pci-e and unless youre moving massive files about between drives you wont notice any difference in real world performance between 3rd and 4th gen nvme drives . I finally ditched mechanical drive and gone full nvme , my motherboard supports 4 drives so went with. 250gb for window and 1 x 2tb and 2 x 1tb nvme drives and wish I had done it sooner * +

Unless you are a e gamer chasing 240fps from a high refresh monitor the cpu bottleneck will never occur. Modern games will be too hard to run anyway to even reach those frames. * +

The difference will come with new games later on as does the ps5 show its massive jump in game loading times and other features requiring the speed of a gen 4 drive. That is the reason sony made the nvme expansion slot compatible only with a current high end nvme like the wd 850 or samsung 980 pro. The quick resume features and world loading have already started spoiling me. Even in gt7 it was a massive leap in load times going from a ps4 pro with a sata 3 ssd to a ps5. Actually saved time going to the other version * +

I have a 8700k somewhere in the performance class of a 3600 ryzen and paired with a 1080ti equalent to a rtx 3060. I play mostly on 3440 by 1440p and 4k. Never seen any bottlenecking on a 60hz screen. * +

Been thinking about getting a 12700k as a upgrade for a while but the e core thing puts me off. Why does a high end cpu need those weak cores? Anyone getting a cpu of that class will not look on saving a few watts of energy. Hope the next line up will have all full cores again. * +

tnx saw it, seems im good with the cpu..the only problem would be if i find new gpus a decent price which might struggle on my current rig * +

Pc works completely different to ps5 when loading from ssd . Pc will drag data from ssd to system memory which is massively faster and has massively lower latency . The base line now for a gaming pc is 32gb ram couple that with say 8gb vram and there is no need to stream direct from ssd like ps5 . The only reason you need gen 4 is for moving huge chunks of data and like I said in real world use there is little to no difference . I have tested my gen 4 ssd v gen 3 ssd and moving Huge video files and thats where I see a difference ,small data segments or running os I see no difference at all * +
