sorry i dont know much about intel im an amd guy. ive redone my pc 3 times in 18 months to get me to where i want to be. keyboarddemon has been a big help along the way and he knows my good and not so good decisioons and knows i have no patience but at the end of the day i have achieved and i call him THE SMOOTH OPERATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm happy that I could assist, I find helping people gives me the opportunity to learn more, particularly when I need to research to find the required answers.
And smooth operator, that's just lols... but I appreciate the complement, thank you, it has made my day.
Would any of those offer a substantial increase in performance..
You would see a performance increase, but not substantial enough to justify the work.
I would avoid used CPUs of that age as you don't know how they were treated or how much longer they would last, and if you are looking at $200 10-year old CPUs, you could just as easily get a newer CPU, with a basic mobo and some budget RAM for the same amount of money on the used market.
I have to say, I am a tad bummed about how this is going.. As things are now, I really can't justify spending $2700 over the next 15 months for the very slight increase in performance I am seeing..
Where did the $2700 figure come from, break down what you mean in terms of parts and costs, it sounds like you are looking at the bigger picture and only showing us some of the smaller details.
Every issue has a solution, just because I can't think of an answer for your current setup, it doesn't mean that there isn't one out there, but you would certainly be able to find an answer that costs less than $2700. At most, you only need to change your CPU, mobo, and RAM to get what you have already more up to date, and eBay or Facebook Marketplace will find you someone to take the old CPU, mobo, and RAM off your hands to help ease the financial burden.
Also, I am a bit confused about your upgrade history, I was under the impression that first you had a GTX 970, then for a fleeting time you were rocking an RTX 2080 Ti until that had to be returned, and now you have your new RTX 3060 Ti. But, we have recently been discussing a 2070 Super, was that hypothetical, or did you have one of these in your PC before the 3060 Ti came in? The 3060 Ti is still the better performing card of the 2, but subject to being installed on a suitable platform.
@freakdaddy64 began with a good starting point, MSI mobo, Ryzen 5 3600 and a good mid level GPU, then over time, he has slowly swapped out parts ending up with the build he has now. In that time he has added a new CPU, mobo, GPU, and then eventually monitor upgrade after spending a brief period of time with a downgrade that he got because he was tempted by the extremely high refresh rates on a smaller 24" panel with a lower resolution than the monitor he had. I think he also had a case upgrade in there too!
Most of his upgrades were good choices, but a couple didn't make sense to me, the 1080p 24" monitor being the one that stands out the most. Also getting the RTX 2080 Ti, at the time I thought that was a bad idea as I thought it wouldn't be long before he could get a new RTX 3080 at a lower price, but you still can't do that now, so it turned out to be an excellent choice for him.
Tried playing in CAMPAIGN mode thinking my lack of quality internet may be part of the problem..
FPS is still the same, even in CAMPAIGN mode..
So we can rule out your internet connection as the reason behind this, it was a good idea to check, well done.
Can you recommend a good free Benchmarking program?? Something simple and basic..
Unigine offer various free benchmarking tools you can try, such as Heaven 2009, Valley 2013, and Superposition 2017, these are good to get an idea of where your performance is at before and after an upgrade, but they are not the most up to date, as you can tell by their launch years.
Geekbench and
Passmark are both general benchmark tools rather than gaming specific tools.
Just played a round of BOCW just to see...
FPS is even worse.. 50s
I stand by my assertion that we have a software issue here and not hardware.
My 4 core i7 3770k with a GTX 980 was able to reach up to 100fps at 2560x1440, you should be able to hit more than 50fps with your slightly older 6 core i7 3930K, you can see how they compare
