Bf1 build configuration
Right now I’m running an i5 4690k with 8 GB RAM. Next year I aim to upgrade to Skylake, adding 16 GB DDR4 and an i7 6700K. I also have a GTX 1070 paired with a 144 Hz 1080p display. I’m not too concerned about frame rates as long as the game runs smoothly without stutters or lag. Do you know anyone who plays this setup? Just want to confirm if the performance will be solid and stable. I understand you can check videos and benchmarks, but from what I’ve seen, noticeable stuttering usually happens only when CPU usage climbs past 70%.
Pick up a 4790k and 16GB RAM. My setup works with a 6600k and a 970.
I prefer purchasing the new architecture now because the 4790k is an older model, yet initial looks of Kaby Lake don’t suggest major upgrades. Additionally, I think your system feels more stable overall. Right now, I’m experiencing severe performance drops in certain games due to my home’s speed outpacing my CPU capabilities—especially with Witcher 3 and Battlefield 4 becoming nearly unplayable, no matter how much DSR I enable.
I’m heading to 4790k using the same setup you mentioned, with a 390GB drive and 16GB of RAM installed.
However, Z97's design is outdated from a technical standpoint—it's not just about speed improvements. It offers more PCIe lanes, USB 3.1 support, and DDR4 memory. If I were purchasing an entire system, I'd choose the X99 instead.
The adapter card gave me full performance while the native M.2 was capped at 890. My point remains the same—if Op decides to upgrade his processor, he should go for the latest tech. The only drawback is Kabylake will need a new socket again, but at least he could transfer the RAM then.
