Cheap upgrade for BF2042??

[Wing-Man]

My buddy as a i5 6500 and a 5600xt. He just installed BF2042 and it runs like crap shocking right…

Will dropping in a i7 6700 be worth buying, there is no way he can afford a system upgrade right now

the other games he plays are all older and fine but BF2042 the cpu is pinned at 100% from the second you lick the desktop shortcut.

I think I will grab him an i7 the extra 4 threads should do him some good

my i5-6600 wouldnt even run bfv by the end after the first year of updates it cpu bottlenecks badly

Yes I think we have established that is the problem.

if you can pickup a cheap i5-10400f that will run bf2042 perfectly

I looked at a 10400f for my youngest but the cost of boards are silly
