    2) lets talk about these 1080 - 1440p drops. The Delta between the 10100 and the 10600k at 1080p in BFV is 18fps. The delta at 1440p is 6 fps. This is because the higher you turn up the resolution the less impact your CPU performance has on your FPS as most of the work is being done by the GPU. Theses results can be seen in other games as well Shadow of the Tomb raider 1080p delta is 41fps 1440p delta is 13. As you can see the difference in CPU quality decreases as resolution rises

    3) Lets talk about these "FPS Drop problems" The average delta between average FPS and 1% min for 1080p gaming on the 10100 is 37. The average delta for the 10600k is 34. So if the 10100 is a bad gaming CPU because of the fps drops then the 10600k is a bad gaming CPU because of the FPS drops.

    4) there wont be another drop going from 1440p to 2k because generally speaking 1440p is refereed to as 2k gaming. You mean 4k Gaming and yes there would be another drop but the delta between CPUs would shrink. If anything the 10100 is better suited to high resolution gaming than it is to 1080p gaming because more strain is on your GPU.

    For someone who is "passionate" about gaming you have no clue what you're talking about. I'd rather have people scrounging up "pocket change from the couch" and building what they can afford that you in the gaming community any day of the week.
    You guys can do gymnastics with your fucking shit all day just because you got insulted by my facebook browsing comment, chill the fuck down lol, you don't need to defend weaker slower PCs and try to make them sound as good as the rest. Of course I don't think an i3 cpu is only good for browsing facebook, why do you feel the need to turn this into a fucking statistical circle jerking just to end with the exact same general conclusion that i3 is weaker? Why?
    Why try to talk this up and praise it when it's just objectively not as good?

    Did I exaggerate saying it's only good for facebook browsing? Okay yeah sure.
    Did you guys get overly sensitive over such an obviously silly comment? Yeah very much so.
    It wasn't a personal attack, why do people keep doing this on this forum? Like defend things that have NOTHING TO DO with them? You're not tasked with feeling the pain of hurt feelings an inanimate object could have.

    Nice post, now we all understand that i3 can do more than facebook browsing and is still weaker than a bunch of other options. Holy shit, the revelation, no one will live the same way from this point on.

    *very loud and exaggerated applause*

    Rogoth painting is much more grim than just tax. Earning power is the controlling factor in Rogoth arugment, I bill $500 just for a site visit consultation that takes just over 3/hrs of my time. That could be a weeks worth for some, and in china that is about 3 weeks worth the pay for the average individual.

    I attack your post because comments like

    I said gamers, people who have a passion for it, not those who build a PC with the pocket change that fell in the couch
    and

    But yes, it's serviceable for casuals, just not great for gamers.
    keep people from building their own PCs and joining the PC gaming community because assholes like you will say they aren't "real gamers" cause they don't have $1000 to spend on a PC.

    When you say things like i3's aren't good for gaming just for browsing facebook people read that and when thinking about buying a computer won't buy one if they can only afford an i3 system. Comments like yours do real harm to the community and deserve to be called out for it.

    Also how is explaining the difference in numbers gymnastics? You made objectively false claims and I showed you why they were wrong. Accept that you were wrong and move on. Don't double down on false statements and continues proving you have no idea what you are talking about.

    False alert, guys: I just checked my specs and I have an i5, not an i3. Thing is, it's an i5-3570, and I don't know if it's newer than WoW's minimum requirement of i5-3450.

    It's a bit faster but overall they're about the same.

    Honestly those minimum specs are just fluff. Its not as if the installer will reject your hardware. The min they suggest is a third gen i5. But if you have anything remotely close to that like a second gen i3 it'll probably work fine.

    Worst is you install wow and it doesn't run to your personal preference.

    Best car was Toyota supra mk3, yes Mark 3 with the pop up headlights not the mk4 shown in the fast and the furious movies

    But on topic if I remember or some knew reminds me tomorrow when I get up ill run the profiler on wow retail and wow beta and see what the crack is, see if its all that much of a difference.

    The i number matters far less than what GENERATION the cpu is from, this is a mistake a lot of people make when choosing or building a computer. I have a 3 or 4 year old i7 that Im replacing with a 1 year old i5 because the i5 is a genuine performance upgrade (I think its by like 50% too, not even a small bump). It looks like the i5 they have listed is an ivy bridge one from 2012. If your i3 is any more modern than that its likely many times more powerful than the minimum spec.
    For example it runs at about 30-40 fps on the M3 on the gpd win which is a dual core tablet processor but a kaby lake chip so actually well above the minimum requirements.

    A comment on a WoW forum, a game that many people already play on toasters, will prevent other people in general across the world from building a budget PC?
    And not just a comment on this forum, a comment on this specific thread alone.
    Dude get real. You're not fighting for the wallet of the poor netizens of this world, you just want to argue like all the other plebs on this website because it makes your blood boil and grind your teeth. Go punch your pillow and get over it already.

    You've made almost 1400 posts in just over a year. I've made less that 100 in more than a decade. I actually don't argue much at all seems like you do though.

    I'd wager you don't just make comments like this on here you make them in real life. You know you're wrong too btw. That's why you've changed your message from "i3's are bad" to "stop crusading on the internet".

    Accept you're wrong kid and move on.

    I already said they're not bad and my first comment was exaggerated. I then followed with the fact that they're also not good but I guess you're one of those who want full blind support of your opinion in order to be satisfied instead of realizing you're also wrong on a lot.

    Accept you're also wrong kid and move on.

    Well just going by the numbers, in this particular case at least, you can take a healthy guess on which one is better

    Intel has also used these brand names for over a decade and new i3s are more powerful than old i7s and thus clear the requirements.

    What to take away mainly is that they have set a quad core as a minimum. I highly doubt you can’t *run* it on a dual core but the exclusion does peak my interest. Might try the beta on my older dual core laptop.

    Or, more likely, there a choke-point somewhere else, like your CPU or RAM.

    I'm using a 5700XT gfx card, a R5 3600 CPU on a recent PCIe4 motherboard, with a fast SSD and 16 GB or not very special RAM (so that's my likely choke-point). I run my display at 1440p and have everything maxed out when not in a large raid. The only time I go under 60fps aside from the occasional spike is in Boralus.

    I was checking CPU usage the other day and it doesn't cap out the CPU in normal play, and uses four cores. Therefore if you have fewer than four cores you might find your CPU becoming a choke-point, especially if you're doing other things as well (streaming, etc.). Having 6 physical cores my CPU is fine running WoW on four, the OS on one and the other stuff on the last one, before considering any 'hyperthreading' (whatever AMD calls it).

    i7 7700k 16gb ram.

    the game runs mostly at 120fps. but i want to see anyone getting 60fps on last phase of Carapace with 20-30 players spawning an add each after the mind bomb

    That's why I turn the settings down for raids. That and wanting to be able to actually see stuff rather than a blur of spell effects and explosions.

    Now a days you can get Ryzen 3's and Ryzen 5's for a rather inexpensive price.
    A today’s i3 isn’t even half bad, a cheapo i3 10100 is basically a locked i7 6700k.

  19. #199
    This is one of those posts where you show half the info and assume its bad "i5 processor" has no meaning it is a i5-3450 a quick google search shows April 23, 2012 (announcement) April 29, 2012 (launch) its asking a 7 and half year old CPU you are ether trying to cause drama or have no clue what you are talking about.

    i3 and i5 means nothing without the series.

    so yes, a brand new i3 is better than a old i5.

    just compare an i3-9350KF vs i5-750, you'll see..
