Just because you're about to ride PC gaming, doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune on it. Of course, there are certain elements where an investment is worth investing in, because such investments convert more returns. However, there are some areas where it is not worth investing a lot of money because to work what we will get for a refund will not be accompanied by a price increase.
Escape from the graphics card "Gaming OC"
We have often noted that, processors and GPU graphics cards, start their lives as high quality model, etc. And of course, depending on silicon wafer quality and production, the end result can be a very low performance model. Which is to say, a graphics card «OC Games» the only thing that can be different from the simplest type, is the more elegant heatsink, with more robots and more in between.
But what he really has is a the highest value. In particular, if we compare its performance with the same model but that doesn't matter. So, the important thing is to know if the increase in performance is worth the expense. That, for the majority of the time, is not the case.
RAM frequency is insignificant in games
There are many situations there RAM frequency It is very important for your computer. But, right at playtime, it's not one of those situations.
This does not mean that we should use RAM that is information below is the minimum provided by the manufacturer. At the very least, we should put that kind of RAM on our board. The fact is, we will not notice a very large increase in the performance of our games, if we keep memory at 4400 MHz (for example) instead of 2666 MHz (if it's an Intel Core processor, of course). Most of the time, we will have an extra 10% in performance, hopefully.
So, invest in RAM with the waves are very high It does not represent an increase in the performance related to the additional fees we pay for these reports. This means that this extra money can be invested in buying a better image. Or a high-end CPU. All that is most beneficial is our new gaming PC.
Skipping abnormalities usually does not bring much improvement in performance
One thing that has been complaining to Intel and AMD processors is that breaks between generations rarely come with big ones performance increases. This is something we can explore for ourselves when looking at the analysis of the Intel Skylake processor and the more modern Cofi Lake. Yes, it is true that between the 1st and 2nd Generation Core there was a huge increase in profits. Or between the 6th and 7th Generation, this increase was not so great.
Generally, jump between generations, if they bring any increase in yield, usually 5 or 10%. Of course, then we have the difference, as does the downward spiral AMD Zen and AMD Zen 2, whose performance has been greatly increased, since they were the interior structures of these cores. However, the exception is legal. The fact is that, today, a processor such as the Intel Core i7-6700K still retains the processor that is easily available in most modern games.
Most cores always don't mean better performance on a gaming PC
Or the tendency in the video game market is increase the number of cores what they need to work well, something that hasn't changed since the beginning is the importance of CPI the processor. The fact is, today (and as we've mentioned before), modern Intel i7 processors, can be protected by the majority of current games, without creating too many bottles. However, on the other hand, i5 grade managers are making important bottles in today's games.
In one of the ratings we will have older AMD processors Bulldozer Construction, who had the highest number of «Cores» and threads, but its CPI was so low that game performance suffered the most.
As a rule, if you want the processor to play, the higher its IPC, the better performance you will have the same number of cores. The most important thing in any kind of game. Now, if you want a processor that works and works with it, you probably should consider it processors with more than 4 cores and 8 threads.
