Upgrade FX-4300 to Core i3-4150 for DayZ???
Hi,
I built a pretty budget rig about 6 months ago.
fx-4300
4gb Ram - Now 8gb
Gtx-660ti now upgraded to R9 280x
Basically I get really poor FPS in DayZ and on intense Arma 3 servers, to the point where I can only really play Wasteland + Breaking Point mod. After a bit of research I discovered my CPU suffer's from poor single thread performance which DayZ, Arma 3 rely on if I'm not mistaken?
So, I purchased a Gigabyte B85M-D3H as the first step towards moving to Intel and was wondering if it would be worth upgrading to an i3-4150 over an i5-4430? Apparently the i3 performs on par with the fx-4300 in multi-threaded applications and is around 40% faster in single threaded applications. I must say apart from the poor FPS in DayZ and Arma3 every other game I've thrown at the FX-4300 has performed quite well for the price. Because of that would it really be worth getting the i5 over the i3 seeing as I've been happy with the 4300 performance apart from the aforementioned games? i3 will cost £80, i5 £120. I will also be selling off my old CPU + Mobo to recoup some costs
Any opinions/help in deciding would be really appreciated
Thanks
