Question9400f upgrade for LGA 1151 motherboard
Hello!
A suitable upgrade for the 9th gen would be checking your current CPU specs and considering options like a higher-end processor or better cooling.
I recently upgraded to an RTX 4060 and noticed my CPU struggling to keep up—could be a bottleneck.
What would help?
The concept of feeling is minimal.
Do you have any concrete data available? Have you tested performance comparisons using your old GPU alongside the new one?
What were your initial goals?
What resolution are you currently using?
What are the other components in your setup?
Brand and model details for motherboard, RAM, and PSU are provided.
System Model: MS-7B48
BIOS: 2.D3 (type: UEFI)
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz (6 CPUs), ~2.9GHz
Memory: 16384MB Trident RAM DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18-38 1.35V
Gpu: GPU Gigabyte RTX 4060 OC Edition
Psu Cooler: Master Bronze V2 650w
Shared the details.
I planned to switch from a gtx 1070 Ti to a rtx 4060 and am really satisfied with the change.
However, in certain games, even when settings are set for optimal performance, I still notice stuttering.
This includes micro stutters and inconsistent frames, especially at 60 fps on a 1080p monitor.
Honestly, it really depends on what you're playing; PCIe 3.0 could pose a bigger issue than your CPU since the 4060 is an 8-lane card. I haven't found any written reviews about its scaling, but if it behaves similarly to the 4060 Ti and 6600 XT, it might cause problems. In terms of CPU upgrades, anything seems likely to cost more than it adds value in terms of performance gains.
Sure, no worries. I'm here to help. You're looking for a recommended motherboard model with PCIe 3.0 support and possibly an LGA 1151 socket. Let me know if you'd like more details!
