Solve : I want a good i3 CPU? |
|
Answer» I want a good i3 CPU for a game called Rust, To anyone who don't know what this game is, Basically it's a survival game, You can google it, Anyways I know this game need a i5 CPU like minimum, But I don't have budget for that so I want a good i3 CPU, Can anyone help me out please, I'll really appreciate it, Thanks and have a good day. All I know of Rust is that the devs had done a really poor optimisation on the engine so you'd be lucky if you could get away with dipping under the minimum specs. That may have changed though.I forget it but it should be SOMEWHERE in MSI H55MA or whatever or 65, Idk I forget it Quote from: DaveLembke on July 06, 2018, 09:24:23 AM If the game was given a i5 minimum for like first or second generation i5, then a modern 7th generation onward i3 would probably work ok. However there is a gamble with not going with an i5 as they state for minimum. Biggest thing will be to have a Video Card that is rated to their specs as the most critical. Don't rely on Intel HD Graphics!!! Get a AMD or Nvidia video Card that meets or exceeds the requirements. If your struggling to get an i5 vs an i3 I am thinking the Video Card alone might be a problem for you to meet requirements as for aa decent gaming card is going to be upwards of $130+ ... however a video card meeting the minimum requirements may be able to be purchased for lesser than $100. Just be aware of whatever computer you have needs to also have a power supply that can support the power needs of the video card. Most gaming video cards require a 12V molex connection or connections for 6 or 8 pin connections. If a power supply isn't rated high enough or is low quality it could be falsely labelled and weaker than stated or could burn up under heavier than normal loads like no name brand power supplies and a DiabloTek that a friend bought cheap and it smoked his motherboard when it died. I have GTX 670 and 8gb DDR3MSI H55MA is LGA 1156 or MSI H67MA is LGA 1155. LGA 1156 is first-generation Core series and LGA 1155 is second generation. Some motherboards are compatible with third generation processors (Ivy Bridge). The minimum requirements I found for the game list an Intel Core i7-3770. This is pretty much one of the most capable Ivy Bridge processors available. And that is the *minimum* requirement- not the recommended. The i3 or even i5 chips for those motherboards aren't LIKELY to cut the mustard. In my opinion, compare different motherboards on Google. Don't buy all of them together. Buying separately will save you money. Quote Don't buy all of them together. Buying separately will save you money. Not always.... I generally buy through same source and save money, especially when buying items as a combo package of motherboard with CPU etc. If your going the ebay route though buying boards/parts that someone may have dumpster dived for to get ultra cheap though there are gambles of getting parts with issues or it being completely DOA. I got burned too many times going super cheap with ebay as a source that I will only go with an actual business that sell products that care about customer satisfaction and aren't trying to rip PEOPLE off and move on like ebay for modern or somewhat modern parts. Certain things I will still buy on ebay such as an obsolete CPU for $10 that is only worth $10-$20 etc to which no problems. But if its a $150 processor and someone is selling one for $50. I'd be cautious and weigh whether I want to gamble $50 to try to save $100. If I paid $10 and an item was a problem, oh well its just $10 but if its a $150 CPU being sold for $10 I avoid it like the plague as for it has to be a scam to get droves of people to buy into something and then vanish after collecting all the saps money. Fortunately PayPal is usually pretty good though to protect customers from MALICIOUS scam merchants though from hat I heard, but I have never exercised this customer benefit of PayPal. |
