Hi Community
As seen from my question above I'm thinking of getting an i7 or Xeon CPU (pretty much an i7 without HD Graphics).
I'm mostly been thinking about it as I get near 100% in Fallout 4 in most parts of Diamond city while in the wasteland gameplay is fine and in Witcher 3 I get high usage in villages and cities (on ultra setting my GPU goes 100% but is fine on High pre-set at 60% with hair feature off).
The high usage in Witcher 3 causes stutter and low frame-rate while in Fallout 4 the camera goes all jaggy and frame rate drops to 45-50fps (mostly when over looking a lot of game assets, GPU only at 60%) Fallout 4 is playable 80% of the time but I would like it to be a all round smooth experience. Witcher 3 is just unplayable with the high usage stutter.
Which Xeon or i7 should I pick as both of these only get 50-60 usage in Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 which is what I'm looking for, also will the stock cooler be fine for these CPU's as I'm not a fan of installing an after market cooler.
Regards
