see title. maybe its just both? since DF upgrade some zones have become unbearable, capital city i drop to 10-20 fps.
specs:
windows 10
amd ryzen 7 2700x
32 gb RAM
gtx 1060
some samsung 250gb SSD
I would guess its the gpu since its old as ****, but i guess the cpu isnt the best one either?
also forgive me if this doesnt even belong here.
For WoW only: CPU, 2000-series didn’t have very strong single thread performance and it has increased by a large margin. Depending on what motherboard you have you might be able to get a 5000-series CPU, eg. 5600(X) or 5800X3D depending on your budget (around 150 euros for 5600, around 200 euros for 5600X, around 300-350 euros for 5800X3D). Less from if on sale.
thank you sir. will try it with new cpu
my mainboard is apparently: tuf x470 plus gaming
now i ll ahve to find a way to check if your mentioned cpu is compatible, ive been out of the pc building game for a long time
https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-x470-plus-gaming/ this motherboard unless I am not entirely mistaken.
That supports 5000-series CPUs, just make sure to update bios (and preferrably AMD chipset drivers) BEFORE replacing the old CPU with new CPU as it is possible that the computer will not boot with the new CPU until BIOS update.
i appreciate the tips man. will have to watch a video on that since ive never done MB drivers before.
Looking at the manual the BIOS can be updated directly from the BIOS itself (assuming network connection is available) so that is probably the easiest way. Remember to take note of any custom settings (eg. for memory) you might as BIOS update will reset them.
thanks again sir. installed it tonight - day and night difference.
World of Warcraft likes CPU’s with large cache amounts. I would guess this would apply to the 7800X3d, 7900x3D or 7950x3d as well.
I think he gave me the one where I don’t have to change Mainboard, as those are AM5 as I understand
Great to hear! It helps many other games, too. For example Stellaris, Factorio and similar games benefit from the large cache.
Correct, while benchmarks are not out fro 7800X3D yet I doubt there will be much difference for WoW between 7800X3D and the more expensive CPUs. But unlike 5800X3D 7000-series would need entirely new motherboard and RAM which would be lot more expensive upgrade compared to just CPU replacement.
