Author Topic: CPU Upgrade Advice  (Read 1684 times)

Hey i want a new cpu,but my motherboard uses the  LGA 1366  socket for cpus.Is my motherboard outdated to where i cant get a good cpu?Because i am running battlefield 4 with a gtx680 but i feel like my cpu is holding me back,but when i look for good cpus they all use the LGA 1150.Are there any cpus i can buy that use the LGA 1366 socket for cpus that could play next gen game requirements for the cpu?(aka games that come out in the next 3 years)
Because games like gta 5 for pc  and watch dogs are coming out in the next 6 months and i fear that a good cpu will be needed to run these beast on pc on high settings

Yea your a tad late,fixed it.Its called mistake




This man tells the truth, I have that same card, can run everything ultra 4k mode


That is top notch man, are you sure his stuff will be able to use it?


OP, can you tell us more about your computer. And like, you know, type correctly.

You also will need a good GPU, for games like GTA V and Watch Dogs on High, you'll probably want a decent i5/fx8150+ and atleast a GTX 760/Radeon HD7870.

My gtx680 can kick ass,with a good cpu i could run bf4 pretty much at 60fps on highest settings.At the moment i run it at 40ish but get 60 in some parts,but i see people who do benchmarks with gtx680 and it gets above 60fps  so i figured my cpu needs a upgrade
