Worse performance with a i7 2700k?

rudi95 · Jun 6, 2015

Ok so the other day i upgraded from an i5 3450 to an i7 2700k due to needing something with a bit more grunt for rendering, however i am also a gamer and i seem to be getting worse performance in game by about 10-15FPS now i wasnt expecting huge gains if any but didnt think i would get worse performance

Any thought ?

Many thanks

Make sure your CPU temperatures are fine. It really should not be that much worse, if at all.

well i constantly monitor temps and it never goes over 56 degrees, i have it overclocked now and made no difference (43 multiplier at 1.3V)

OC your CPU a bit and you will see more FPS

But anyway this i7 even without OC is faster than your previous i5 in games.
You have clean system installation after switching platform ?

yeah i tried 4.5ghz but got a bit to toasty in prime95 for my liking (air cooling

) no didnt realise a clean install was something to do if you get a new processor, might see if i can dig out my win7 cd and do a fresh install

@rudi95

More than likely you have hyper threading enabled?

Do a test comparison with hyper threading enabled and disabled as hyper threading actually hurts performance in some games and applications I finally just disabled mine as it hurt performance of the things I ran most.
