Can this run Skyrim, Call of Duty Ghosts, ect. on high settings?

PlasmaGUI · Apr 12, 2014

I have this build, and I am wondering how much fps I would get from running Skyrim, or Call of Duty Ghosts on high settings. Thank you. :bounce:

Yes it will easily max all those games at 1080p 60fps.

Yes you can. I'm not sure if you're gonna have constant 60fps+, but you'll get nice fps nevertheless. The problem I see with your build is, you leave no space to breath, I mean, you won't be able to upgrade much later with this motherboard and power supply.

it should be able to max them at 1080p... as long as 60fps is your goal. You might need to put a little overclock on the cpu to manage it though... My memory might be scetchy on this point, but i seem to remember a piledriver cpu like the fx8320 had to be clocked up to 4.4 to hit 60fps on skyrim.

That PSU is more than enough to run ANY single GPU, and the motherboard is very high end for the chipset it has. HE isn't planning to SLI it looks like, so his system is great, and yes it will get solid 60fps on both those games fairly easily.

Should I switch the cpu to a i5-4670k? Or a i7? I don't really care about price.

HumdrumPenguin :

Should I upgrade the motherboard and power supply, and if so, what to?

tiny voices · Apr 12, 2014

The i5 4670k would be great. It would be much better in skyrim which strongly favors intel. DO NOT get an i7 for a gaming build.

PlasmaGUI :

Unless you plan to SLI, both are fine. IF you change to intel, you will need a new motherboard though.

What motherboard should I use, I am thinking of changing to intel.

tiny voices · Apr 12, 2014

Do you plan to overclock the CPU? If yes, get a 4670k and a z87 motherboard, if no get a non-k CPU and an h87 motherboard.

tiny voices :

I agree completely. Skyrim is a very intel favored game. AMD cpus struggle a bit in it. There is a technical reason why, which i won't bore you with... but yeah... swapping to an i5 will be a significant improvement for skyrim
