Hi! It is time to upgrade but my budget is low, so my options on the second hand market at the moment are 5600 with a320 board or i5 11400f with h510 board. Which one will perform better? The video card is 5700 xt. Thanks.
EDIT: I forgot to say that my current cpu is i7 7700.
Intel CPUs are better for wow in my opinion, They always were. I had AMD in the past which scored same in benchmarks as The intel i swapped it for later and game performance skyrocketed Despite both of The CPUs being same power lvl on the paper. Also Dont use Integrated GPU, you can buy cheap gtx 1050ti or something like that and it will do much better. Peple sell theese cards used for 30 euro even. Litteraly my Old Desktop which i rarely use for playing Wow as i swaped to Gaming Laptops due to how much i travel between cities has Gtx 1050ti and can run Mythic Raid on 50-60fps Around medium setting with some thing on low.
They were yes, but not anymore. The X3D Ryzen are better than most Intels or at least on par. Other AMD CPUs are a lot weaker than comparable or even older Intels.
This is because WoW heavily relies on pure IPC of a CPU and does not scale with more than 1 core when it comes to certain things like raids, worldbosses, big m+ pulls.
Basically anything with lots of players/npcs and combatlog interactions (addons running on the same main thread making it alot worse) cripples the FPS even on the fastest CPUs like a 7800X3D.
