    Honestly the 3770 is still a good cpu, I donated my old PC to a friend and it had a 3770S in there. It's unfortunately unable to overclock but when paired with the 1060 I gave him it still is a perfectly acceptable 1080p gaming machine.

    • @angrysocialjusticewarrior
      @angrysocialjusticewarrior Рік тому +1

      Good CPU? Even when overclocked it loses to modern i3's. But i guess since it was a donation, your friend is still lucky to have that PC. You are a good friend.

      @@justjosh871 The latest and best i3 ever produced (i3 12100f) is much cheaper than buying an old secondhand i7 7700k even though the i3 is significantly faster.
      I'd say the old i7 3770 can be bought for about the same price as the i3 2100f if you find a good seller.
      So no we have established that a much faster i3 is actually cheaper than trying to buy an old i7, lets compare motherboard prices. Since the i3 uses very little electricity, you can actually pair it with the cheapest h610 you can find. And an h610 will be significantly cheaper than a used Z170 that is usually sold along with the i7 7700k or the Z97 that usually comes with the i7 4770k.
      Now that we have established that even motherboards for the i3 are cheaper than the ones suitable for old i7's, lets now compare ram prices. in 2021 I had to buy 16 GB of ddr3 for my old system, and in 2022 I had to buy 16GB of ddr4 for my new system. Both ddr3 and ddr4 were around the same price even though the ddr4 ram was almost twice as fast as the ddr3. The ddr4 ram was made by a company called "Patriot" and the ddr3 ram was made by "GSkill".
      So since we have established that all parts from a modern computer are actually cheaper than try to buy old used parts, only one question remains. If someone has an old i5 or i3, is it better to only upgrade the cpu to an old i7? Or is it better to change your whole system and get a new setup?
      In my opinion, if you are someone who knows how to sell parts on the internet like on ebay, or if you are able to sell your computer to a friend or something, you might end up being able to buy a new i3 + new motherboard + new ram without paying more money than you would have paid if you did not sell anything and only upgraded your cpu to an old i7.
      Also, the new i3 supports windows 11. Windows 10 will no longer be supported by Microsoft in 2025, which is going to make your i7 useless (even if you try to sell it in 2025, you are going to get very little money).
      But if you are someone who doesn't know how to sell on ebay or to friends, than its cheaper to just upgrade to an old i7 if you don't have money.

    That CPU cooler is worth a lot by itself. Noctua coolers (and fans) are things of beauty, they're efficient, quiet, even the fans last for a really long time, but the coolers will basically last longer than you do, and Noctua releases conversion kits to allow you to keep using them on newer motherboards. Sometimes they will send those conversion kits to you for absolutely no charge! :O

    @CaptainKenway 2 роки тому +14

    I'm getting by with a 970 at the moment (albeit paired with a 5800X). It still does a great job in most games at 1080p. I did find one where I think the 3.5GB VRAM thing causes problems though, which is Detroit: Become Human. It'll run smoothly at 1080p/60fps when you first start it up, but the VRAM usage creeps up over time and when it gets to around 3.5GB the performance goes to absolute crap, as in sub-10fps and bouncing around like crazy. I assume that's because it's hitting the slow portion of the VRAM. Haven't found any other game which exhibits the same behaviour though, including games which report similar or higher VRAM usage. It's weird.

Since 5800x and 12600k are similar, I wanted to know if there’s any bottleneck that you notice since the graphics card is not powerful enough to keep up with the processor.

    • @dlib89
      @dlib89 2 роки тому

      The only issue I see at this gpu is the vram. If it had 6gb it would be a beast.

    • @angrysocialjusticewarrior
      @angrysocialjusticewarrior 2 роки тому

      Just overclock your vram and limit your frames (in the nvidia control panel) to 59 FPS.
      Limiting the fps prevents the faster ram from boosting the game beyond 59fps. This forces the faster 3.5GB to slow down and thus making the speed difference between the 3.5 and 0.5 much smaller.
      And the fact that you overclocked your vram means your slow 0.5 is even faster while the 3.5 is sill being throttled by the fps limiter.
      When you combine those two things, the stuttering disappears. limiting fps is is very important. And the higher you can get a stable overclock on your vram, the closer the 0.5GB will get to the throttled 3.5GB.
      I discovered this trick years ago and I maxed out many games to 4GB - 4.05GB without stuttering.
      Be careful though, the vram chip of the 970 gets hot pretty quickly. The more you push the vram, the hotter the card will get. If you don't have strong cooling, the card will automatically disable your overclock to avoid overheating. The stock fans on the GPU itself will need to be ramped up to 100% when gaming, so remember to set the fan curve while overclocking.
      Also, having a big roomy PC case with good cooling will help a lot.
