I7 4790K struggles with 240Hz and 60Hz displays
Hey there, I just purchased an Alienware AW1824HF 240Hz monitor, which was a huge improvement over my previous BenQ RL455...60Hz model. The main problem I’m facing now is during gaming sessions like Warzone or when streaming on Twitch. The stream or video will lag and appear poor quality. I suspect the issue stems from running two 60Hz monitors before switching to the new 240Hz one. My current setup includes a Core i7-4790K CPU, Hyper 212 cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM, a SanDisk SSD, a Western Digital hard drive, and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card. I’m considering upgrading to better components to optimize performance with the new monitor. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
It seems you're curious about how an 8-thread CPU performs with current gaming and multitasking demands. Let's break it down: its design should handle modern workloads well, but actual performance depends on factors like game load, system configuration, and software efficiency. Memory usage will vary based on the applications running alongside it.
I haven't seen any information about that ATM, and since I haven't checked it, do you think an upgraded processor would be important?
I didn't aim to push a new setup right away since I'm not sure about your budget. Upgrading the CPU and mainboard would likely boost performance noticeably. Would you be interested in knowing if high CPU usage during games and streaming is common? Generally, many users use around 32GB of memory and 12-16 threads while gaming and doing multiple tasks.
