Hello Good evening,
I have a couple of questions around the cpu and performance of my computer i'm a real novice about this stuff & would be grateful for any help.
I have a packard bell G5800 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz, I've had it for quite a few years and have been upgrading the memory and graphics card over time, my previous card was nvidia gtx 580 which was great & I decided to upgrade to the gtx 980 which was in my price range.
I can play most games at 1080p on ultra or very high and some games at 4k but have noticed that I cannot watch 4k movies on you tube without the video having slight stutters, which isn't due to buffering as I allow the video to load and other 4k media that I try to watch.
Forgive my ignorance but is my card capable of playing 4k media ? if so is this down to my cpu ?
I am looking to get the oculus rift , my pc passes all the tests except for the cpu but passes all the tests on the steam HTC Vive test , If i didn't upgrade my cpu would the rift work?
If I do need to upgrade what cpu should I get I didn't know that not all cpu are the same so I don't want to buy the wrong one by mistake.
If I need to i'll pay whats needed but would like to keep price as low as possible .
thanks for any advice
David
