CPU for gaming and recording

[Scramz]

Hi guys

I currently have a I7 3770k @4.8. I like recording my game play but a capture card is out of the window as I like to play in 120hz.

Would you stick with a 3770k or upgrade to an Ivy E. Would the extra cores help with in game FPS dropping?

Thanks in advance

For an upgrade, ideally you're looking at a 3930k/4930k.

Erm, I'd perhaps mess with the thread priority with your games/recording.

I was looking at the 4930k. But will I see much of a difference with performance over an 3770k?

For recording you should, you can set the thread priority up so the game has cores to itself and the recording software does.

Great thanks, I am happy with this setup, just looking at upgrading and improving the performance. Im trying to work out if it is worth the £200 extra it will cost me

Right, I think i'm going to go for the 4930k, So it is for recording game play and rendering, anyone thing I will see an improvement from a 3770k? Last time before I buy my self a early xmas present!
