Good morning!
I have been away from the hardware scene for a couple years due to moving states and working. I recently became interested in a few new games. I very specifically run my games at 4k resolution and typically attempt to max them out with the following hardware:
Gigabbyte P67 UD5 B3
Core i7 2600k @ 4.8ghz
16 GB 2133mhz RAM 1.6v (I think the timing is 9-9-9-24? This RAM doesn't overclock well)
GTX 980 Superclocked Classified @ 1430mhz
Samsung 850 Pro 500GB SSD
Corsair 1200W PSU
I have intermittently compared CPUs for a while using CPUBoss and generally the 2600k has done as well as more recent chips and in some cases better than even the 6700k. I am looking for an unbias opinion from AMD or Intel if there is or will be a chip that makes leaps better performance worth investing in, consider I would probably have to buy a new chip, motherboard and RAM, otherwise I will spend this same money in a second GTX 980 for SLi to get the 4k performance I am looking for.
Thanks for any input!
This is about where I currently am:
Black Desert Online @4k Max without "High-end PC option" checked ~45FPS
Black Desert Online @4k Max with "High-end PC Option" checked ~29fps
Final Fantasy XIV @4k Max without Parallax Occlusion ~55fps
Final Fantasy XIV @4k Max with Parallax Occlusion ~30fps
The Elder Scrolls Online @4k Max Ultra ~50fps
Blade and Soul @4k Max ~50fps | @1080p ~85fps
Tera Online @4k Max ~45fps | @1080p 50fps
Overwatch @4k Max ~40fps during heavy moments/ 55+ during light moments
Hopefully this gives a decent feedback on where my hardware is, I am trying to achieve 60fps or higher on all of them.
