Hi,
I currently have an FX 8350 and GTX 1070 (and 16 GB of system RAM).
Based on my research online an i7 7700k has 75% higher performance than the FX 8350.
What do you think? Do you have a better suggestion that an i7 7700k?
In some games like Mass Effect Andromeda and Deus Ex Mankind Divided I get large frame rate dips (from 60 down to 10 fps) and microfreezing in Arkham Knight when moving around in the game world, despite running the games at default graphics settings and 1440p (or lower), and Windows power options on High Performance. So, I installed ParkControl on my PC two days ago and ran it as admin and maxed out all cpus at 100% and disabled the scaling frequencies etc. Andromeda and Mankind Divided run without fps drops now. Haven't tested Arkham Knight yet. The thing is my system meets the RECOMMENDED system requirements for these games so why the fps drops? It looks like windows or the bios is downscaling the cpu performance for some reason. Task manager performance shows all cores active at 50 to 60% when running those games. My PC is also dust free. I clean it every month.
Will buying a better cpu and an intel cpu instead of amd fix those fps drops in games for which my system meets the recommended requirements?
Thanks.
