I chose to upgrade my i5 6400 to 6500, will this improve Overwatch FPS performance? Should I use the GTX 1050 Ti?
Overwatch performance relies more on graphics card than processing power. FPS will mainly depend on the GPU.
You had a 6400, then you upgraded to a 6500? That’s a total loss of money.
Typically around 50-60 fps is expected. The CPU, particularly after moving from 6400 to 6500, doesn't significantly affect this at this stage.
Unless you're running at full CPU capacity, I wouldn't expect any issues. Even then, any impact would be negligible compared to the price for such a performance boost. Honestly, your current configuration should work well in Overwatch.
I was planning to purchase the 6400, but I could possibly get the 6500 instead.
The i5-6500 offers a solid 500 MHz boost over its base clock, which is quite notable and worth the extra $20 if you're looking for performance. Overwatch should perform exceptionally well with an i5-6400 paired with a GTX 1050 Ti at 1080p, though the i5-6500 likely won<|pad|>'s contribution be minimal in that setup. Other titles or tasks might see better results with it.
Come too late, but grab the 6500—it might not boost Overwatch, but it could be useful in other games you might want to try later.
