The Gaming Thread

fortnite and pubg honestly cant be compared one is cartoony and involves building, the other is more strategy and proper gunplay. PUBG has held my attention way longer than fortnite could.

Lame! Pubg is superior.

fortnite is free, and actually runs well, i dont really play the BR tho, no one plays regularly enough for me to have a team.

I'm waiting for them to fix the PC version. Then I'll buy it.

Anybody get their hands on Forza Horizon 3 yet?

If you haven't, you're really missing out. Badly.

The price difference in performance is similar with an upgraded GPU vs CPU. I don't know why you are ranting about it.
Of course price does not correlate with performance, you could spend 3 times the number on parts and only net a 20% increase in performance.

Which is one of the main reasons I didn't get the 1000 series GPUs. I go with upgrades based on I play. I upgrade piece by piece based on what I need rather than just going for the most expensive thing so I can be futureproofed for a bit. The 970 fit my needs, but now it's bottlenecked by an older CPU. Guaranteed, I can run some things on Ultra without a stutter, but sometimes I like to use rendering and editing software and I multitask a LOT or I play games like TF2 that are CPU intensive.

Next check I get is going to another 8GB of RAM and a new processor. Maybe another HDD/SSD.

The only reason to get a K processor is to overclock. Also, if your main use of the PC is for gaming, you will get far more out of a GPU upgrade than a CPU upgrade. Compared to the GPU market, the CPU market is moving a glacial upgrade pace due to lack of competition from AMD. Intel doesn't need to iterate any faster because there is no economic pressure to do so.

I am using a 2500K and a GTX 1070. I'm sure I am getting some bottlenecking, and it would be more pronounced in CPU heavy games like RTS, but I don't play those. Any bottlenecking has been unnoticeable, to me at least.

TL:DR you don't need a K processor, or even the newest CPU architecture to enjoy an excellent gaming experience.
