had a try on i 5 4690k on 3 monitors wow bfa and netflix in hd about 30% peformance loss statter and laging on monitors dont buy for older systems
That kind of throughput would be too much for a 4690K anyway… the 2060 may well be up to it, but that old a CPU - not so much; time for a i7, 6th gen or better if you’re serious about that much load.
You may want to throw 32GB RAM at it, too - DDR4, too
Hi there. I’d like to share my experiences with upgrading to an RTX 2060. My system is over 6 years old now but is able to run WoW very well since the 8.1.5 patch.
Here are my system specs and performance with my RTX 2060:
Core i7 980X Extreme [6-core (12-thread)] 3.48 GHz
24GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 running at 1740 MHz
Gigabyte X58 UD7 (rev 2) motherboard - 6.38 GT/s QPI
RTX 2060 (running on older gen PCi-e 16x slot, not PCI-e 3.0)
Windows 7 64-bit | DirectX 12 (was using DirectX 11 before patch 8.1.5)
Samsung UE40HU6900 TV running at 3840x2160 @ 60Hz Full RGB8 (equivalent of running 4x 1920x1080 monitors at 60Hz full RGB8 colour gamut).
I have turned down some settings to Good or High instead of Ultra and put View distance to 7 and Environment Detail to 5. Anti-aliasing is set to 4x (virtually no fps drop compared to not using AA).
I currently get 60 fps constant in most places when using the DirectX 12 API, which was just released with the 8.1.5 patch. Beforehand, I was getting between 25-35 fps in Zuldazar with all the same graphics settings when using DirectX 11. Now they updated it so Windows 7 users can gain the benefits from DX12, it’s MUCH faster.
Fullscreen (Windowed) mode was an issue for me before when I was forced to use DX11 in Windows 7. Now it’s not an issue and performance has been restored with DX12.
Hope this helps people who may wish to invest in an RTX card but who have older systems.
