According to that article, no.

>>749005748
a faster CPU affects everything you do on your computer. people often forget that its the brain of your computer and without it your $5000 5090 doesnt work and a shitty cpu will hold it back.

i got my i7 10700 in 2020 and i just overcocked it and it feels brand new

Is Ryzen 5 5600 on the list?

>AMD Athlon X4 750K
Oh yeah absolutely, and yet it keeps working. The most recent "demanding" game it has gotten me through was Baldur's Gate 3. For the most part the framerates were more than playable. Once you get a lot of people on screen however, the situation turns dire. Walking around lower city I'd regularly get 20fps, maybe even a little lower. It was never bad enough to prevent me from playing and I've beaten it several times. When will I replace it and upgrade? When it stops working.

>>749005020
I used a 4790k until last year when I upgraded to a 9800x3d. I really loved that CPU and it was a work horse until it's final days.

>>749006247
Damn bro
I remember some time during that era people were buying some X3 Athlons and unlocking the 4th core and overclocking the CPU as much as possible
But those things were underpowered even when they got launched. Keeping yours for all this time is some dedication

>>749006307
>i7 4790k
That one was an absolute power house and it's probably still very usable for most non Unreal Stutter 5 titles

>>749005020
my 5600X is still holding up well

Mine is over 10 years old and has no issues.
Few things are CPU-bound nowadays.

>>749005860
Computers got a lot faster for general use since the introduction of SSDs/NVMe drives. There is only so much a faster CPU does for you when the actual bottleneck was storage for literal decades.
And for gaming there is just a certain CPU threshold to avoid the bottleneck. Barely anyone overclocks any more. If they do, it's probably because they find it fun. Overclocking for performance is not really a thing any more

>>749006910
As it should, it's still new(ish) hardware unless you're a Pajeet making stupid articles for clicks

>>749005020
My i5 2500k runs games that comes out in 2026 fine. Gaming is 90% about GPU.

>>749005748
So you can play dwarf fortress and stave off fps death a little longer

>>749005049
I don't know what OP's clickbait says, but there are older CPUs that lack certain instruction sets needed by a lot of modern software.
I forget which ones, but IIRC you have to go back 10-15 years to be missing them.

>>749007009
what a load of old bollocks. 2500k has been struggling for years now you fucking liar, and i should know because i've fucking got one.

>>749005717
2500k was significantly cheaper and could overclock higher (back when that actually mattered) and a decent # of games benefited from the higher clock-speed vs hyper threading.

>>749006773
You're thinking of the AM2+/AM3 socket Athlons. Mine is from the bulldozer/steamroller era on the FM1/FM2 socket. Still shit, just slightly newer and different shit.

>>749007235
>>749007235
Did you upgrade to 2133mhz ram? That was a pretty big performance boost back when I had my 2500k

>these are the people who tell you DLSS 5 sucks

>>749007281
emulators loved having double the threads. it was one of the major innovations going from a core 2 quad to a core i7.

I5 12400 bros we still got this, do not upgrade and keep saving money

>>749007349
>You're thinking of the AM2+/AM3 socket Athlons.
Probably so. Are you thinking about getting anything new at all?

>>749007428
Not him, but investing any money into such an old system is a serious waste. At that point just bear with it until you can get something better.

>>749007584
50 bucks for a 30% performance boost (assumed 4.6ghz) is still viable imo

>>749007583
I have an i5 11400, it's great. My bottleneck is the GTX 1650 Super GPU that I wanted to upgrade before the prices got out of hand.

>>749007624
I imagine every single newer game would stutter like crazy on a 4 core CPU without HT, getting higher fps doesn't matter when you're hitting 100% usage with frame drops anyway

>>749005020
7600X
It's ok, but won't survive a GPU upgrade from my current 9070XT without becomming bottleneck
2027 unreal slop releases will be true test for it to see if it can survive until the 10800X3D or not

>i7 3770k
it's definitely too old but desu the only problem i have is with UE5 games

>>749005020
Yeah. Old CPUs literally lost performance over time after all of the CPU vulnerabilities that needed to get patched.

>>749005639

>2027 unreal slop releases will be true test for it
Are there even Unslop games worth playing, let alone upgrading over? Genuinely there is something about UE5 games that makes me reconsider getting them when I find out they run on it. I immediately think of poor performance, stutter, the graphics that look awfully similar to other UE5 slop and low effort releases in general.

>>749008207

I also didn't really want to wait for the 9950x3d to come out, I just wanted to play games sooner.

No. Every UE5 has been absolute dogshit. Not even 5/10 mid titles.

In January 2020 i built a new machine with a Ryzen 3800x. Early last year I impulse bought a Ryzen 5800XT for $129, which was mildly better though did seem to help with fps lows.
Now that DDR5 is priced to retardation I will probably stick with my current system a few more years. Crazy my current system is almost 7 years old, where did this decade go? It still doesn't feel slow either which is why I was in no rush to upgrade.

>>749009831
You will get uneven frame times and frame drops on any newish games you try to run even if averages aren't bad
To be honest, I like that CPUs in general last a long time now. The fact that it's usable at all is a massive feat. I consider anything with 6 cores + HT modern enough to see this generation of consoles until the end

Avatarfagging is posting the same character multiple times in the same thread.

Posting Aqua in multiple threads is not avatarfagging for the same reason posting pepe every thread is not avatarfagging so long as you only do it once.

Being "the guy that posts Aqua every thread" is not an avatar. Being "the person behind all Aqua replies of a given thread" means there is an avatar.

It is a completely different subject with signatures though. The real argument should be that aquajeet adopted aqua as a signature. But this logic doesn't hold for similar reasons (so every reaction image is a signature now?)

UE5 stutters even with top of the line hardware. It's a well known engine problem with how it does shaders. Pretending otherwise just exposes you as nothing but a shill, or a retard who wishes he had high-end hardware and defends them to the death and not someone who actually has it.

I missed the days when you could build an entire gaming rig for 600-800 bucks. It may not be top of the line, but during those days... it sure can play all games on at least 60fps at 1080p.

These days, you gotta take out a 2nd mortage, get a 3rd job and sell your kidneys before you're allowed to even look at a gaming rig. Unless you're a illegal migrant scamming the system with leering centers, you can't even afford rent.
