Question about CPU
Question about CPU
Your i7-4770k runs at 3.50GHz, which is solid for gaming and multitasking. Upgrading your graphics card from GTX 760 to RX 580 makes sense if you want better visuals without a full system rebuild. Since you're on a budget, the RX 580 offers great performance for most games at a lower cost. Just make sure your CPU can handle the new GPU's demands—your current processor should be fine for this switch. Let me know if you need help checking compatibility or choosing a specific card!
You'll notice even bigger improvements after upgrading components later, and the advertised figures from most reviewers won't match what you actually experience. I just finished moving from a 2012 configuration (i7-3930K) to a newer setup, and it really boosted my 1080 Ti performance. Lol
The 4770k is highly capable and won’t limit your performance with the RX 580. Upgrading would definitely be a smart choice and you’ll be very satisfied.
I share some strong concerns about this. The 4770k remains a powerful processor, and any FPS variation between a current 580 setup and his own system would likely fall within acceptable limits.
A 4770 offers solid results without needing major upgrades. Upgrading the CPU usually provides less benefit compared to a GPU upgrade, unless you're running demanding CPU-intensive titles.
Depends heavily on the CPU demand of the title. I noticed significant boosts in specific games after switching from my old i7 3930k to the setup in my signature, using the same graphics card. Although the RX580 isn’t as strong, he might experience comparable gains when upgrading later, based on his playlist.
For smooth video editing on your setup, consider upgrading to a Core i5 or Ryzen 5 processor. Your current i3 Gen 4 with limited RAM and dedicated graphics may struggle with performance and stability during editing. These newer CPUs should handle the workload better, reducing lag and improving overall responsiveness in tools like Shotcut.
