Hi guys, i had core2Duo e6500 8gb ram and hd 5770, my fps was realy good in still modern games for dual core, i had like in fc primal 30-40 fps, in league of legends above 60fps in allmost any situations, now i ugraded only cpu and here is my now spec:
Intel Xeon E5450 3.0 GHz
8GB DDR3 1600mhz (working on 1333)
HD 5770 1GB GDDR5
ASUS P5G41TD-M PRO
All works the same or maybe worse, please help me, i installed all bios updates and everything...

as much as you've watched a vid about it.I wouldn't be putting my trust in it. Unless it's the same settings it's hard to tell.

Not only that, you are talking about 3 different architectures and the differences are there. Do you mean an i3 530? Again, it's a 2c/4t CPU and is prob better than bother C2D E6500 and the Xeon (although the Zeon with 4c/4t @3ghz ) just with IPC to consider.

Like I said, the biggest performance in FPS is not the CPU upgrade, it's much more so the GPU your'e using. Because you haven't changed it, changing the CPU will only bring a few FPS...
yeah, because you've replaced one CPU, with one only slighter faster in clock speed. Although the Xeon is decent, for most games it's about clockspeed. There are some games that will respond better the Xeon Quad core. SO you may get a smoother experience, but for more FPS you need a better GPU. But you are limited by the architecture and GPU upgrade path. You could try something like a GTX750ti/GTX950, which would both give you better FPS.

Even a second hand 6870/7770 would get more FPS than the 5770.

I don't see any Xeon CPUs listed on your motherboard's compatible CPU list: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5G41TDM_PRO/HelpDesk_CPU/

That Xeon uses an LGA 771 socket. Your board is an LGA 775 socket. I'm not even sure how that Xeon could even work with that motherboard. Different socket and not listed on the CPU compatibility list. It's amazing it works at all.

Ok thanks, but i still thinks there's some problems with my rig, watched i3 530 hd 5770 and 4gb ram much better fps in fc primal, and i5 530 is worser than xeon e5450

So the Xeon e5450 (3.0ghz) codenamed Harpertown uses Intel's Penryn microarchitecture.

The i3-530 (2.93ghz) codenamed Clarkdale uses Intel's Westmere microarchetecture.

The i3-530 is actually a better CPU for those games than the Xeon e5450 because it has a newer, better architecture. The i3-530 has significantly better IPC (instructions per cycle) than the e5450 because it uses a newer, better architecture. The .07ghz higher clock of the e5450 doesn't help enough because the i3-530 has much better IPC.

That being said, keith12 is right - you are basically hitting the limits of your GPU.
 


To think back in the day, that Xeon bad boy cost over $900! :)
