CPU Hyperthreading support?
- Thread starter InDigital
- Start date
That's below the current minimum system requirements for EDO
Edit, however it would run better than your current i5
But you understand that in terms of core count i7 3770 is as twice as fast as mine and as twice as faster than minimum recommended specs proc? The question is will the game use these 4 more threads!
it's not twice as fast since those are not real cores but hyperthreaded ones.
in reality a 4c/8t cpu will be like 50% faster than a non-hyperthreaded cpu (4c/4t) - assuming we talk about multithreaded tasks
And yes, Elite will use all those cores, just dont expect a miracle
Even 50% faster would be a miracle for me already
Actually i have some stutters in some situations like when power station turns on and lights turns on. Or in combat situations.
I think CPU takes care of combat things not GPU. I dont know just assuming.
Read up on how to apply thermal/cooling paste for when you replace the CPU. Or have someone knowledgeable do it for you.Even 50% faster would be a miracle for me already

I would invest in upgrading to a newer platform. The difference won't be much given its age.
You'll gain more benefit from the higher clock speeds than the added hyperthreading. It's just dated.

Not by a lot in modern titles. Depending on OP's GPU, it'll bottleneck it quite spectacularly, and given that it's a 3770 and not a 3770k, it can't be overclocked to compensate a bit (thanks intel). It'd be more cost-effective to stick with the i5 for a while and save up the money for a platform upgrade. It's going to have to happen sooner or later.
If you do end up switching platforms I'd recommend going with a Ryzen 3000 (3600 probably) rather than sticking with Intel, it'll be significantly cheaper.
He is bottlenecked already so no change there with a fast CPU. So a 10% faster CPU will already help.. Also overclocking is just a gimmick. If you need more power buy a 'bigger' cpu.
I agree on the latter. If you are paying 50-100 credit for this CPU; then just dont do it and invest it in a new/second hand PC.

1. OP did not list the rest of their specs, so you cannot know if a bottleneck already exists. However, most modern GPUs (GTX 1000 and above probably, without actually checking) will be bottlenecked.
2. Overclocking is not a gimmick. It can very often result in a tangible performance uplift.
3. A second hand PC is another decent option, assuming you can find something that is going to actually give a performance increase for a good price. Which might be tricky at the moment.
Odyssey and Elite: Dangerous in general can easily spawn enough threads to use more than four logical cores. However, major parts are still limited by single threaded performance.
An i7-3770 is a fair upgrade to an i5-3470, both because of higher per-core clock speeds and more logical cores to spread load around.
That said, EDO performance on this part still isn't going to be what I'd call 'good', even if you are predominately CPU limited.
Depends on how much of an overclock you can realize and what is available on a given platform.
Unlocked (K) Ivy Bridge parts OC fairly well, often enough to result in immediately obvious performance advantages in CPU limited scenarios. Also, since the 3770K is the fastest part one can drop into an LGA-1155 board, it may well be the most economical upgrade path. However, OCing (for other than the educational aspect) isn't something I'd recommend to a novice.

Overclocking became much easier when Sandybridge came out and they went with UEFI. If one were to try it, an older part would be the ideal way to do it.
However, it's a moot point. They're talking about a non K cpu.
1. A increase is a increase. Why do you not support the idea of a faster CPU but you do support a overclock?
2. random search for 10th gen overclock:
Overclock Your intel i9-10900K to 5.1 GHz with the MEG Z490 ACE
Intel processors have offered excellent overclocking headroom for years, and with the 10th Generation CPUs, this hasn’t changed one bit! Fine-tuning your performance will net you an excellent performance gain with minimal-to-no risk to your hardware.

I only mentioned that given the fact that it a non-K cpu, it cannot be overlcocked to gain more performance, meaning that there is no more performance to squeeze out of it after the upgrade. I was suggesting that in the long term, saving up for a platform upgrade would make more sense economically. As mentioned above, the 3770/K is the fastest CPU supported by LGA-1155, so no further upgrade is possible without a platform upgrade.1. A increase is a increase. Why do you not support the idea of a faster CPU but you do support a overclock?

Additionally, a single source which only uses synthetic benchmarks does not support your claim that overclocking is a gimmick. I have seen more than 3% gains from an older (4th gen) i7.
