Hello all
I currently use a system that uses an ASUS Sabertooth z77 motherboard, an Intel Core i7 3770 (Locked) with a Nvidia MSI GTX 980TI 6gb
I use the system for 1080, high end gaming and working in 3d packages like maya for modelling and rendering.
However, even with my 980ti, i am experiencing some frame drops and stuttering issues with certain games. Notable examples include Hit-man Absolution, Grand Theft Auto 5, Watchdogs... Some games are completely fine, yet others refuse to run at anything other than low settings. I believe that my locked and non overclockable CPU is causing the issues as the 980ti is supposed to be able to max games at 2560-1440 so i am defiantly struggling in some areas
However, I can't upgrade to a new CPU without changing the motherboard, and I don't really have the cash to spend upwards of 500 quid on upgrades. So I was wondering if upgrading to the 3770k version which is the overclockable version would be the best bet and solve the current issues. The CPU would be liquid cooled and I'd be aiming for an over clock between 4.8Ghz - 5Ghz
Going from 3.4Ghz to 4.8ghz. Would the frame issues in modern games be solved? or would I need to upgrade to a much stronger CPU like the 4790k or the 6700k?
