Ready to improve, but if you think I can still get another version off it, hold on—I’ll play at 1440p 80 to 100 fps, that’s fine for me.
It's okay. Your system has a strong 6-core processor, which should handle high framerates easily unless you require extremely fast performance.
Having a solid chip boosts performance noticeably. Going from 4.3GHz to 5.0GHz all-core can add about 10 frames per second in the lowest settings—super impressive. But my 8700K is underperforming, so I’m limited to around 4.7GHz all-core.
Comparable to a Ryzen 5 3600X and i5 10400/11400 models, offering six cores and twelve threads. A solid choice for a mid-range graphics card.
In contrast to what's available now, it remains capable of playing and definitely handles cooking eggs as well.
