CPU upgrade

As I said before it all depends on the game engine but the 11 series of cpus are much faster internally (IPC) and frequancy then the 10 series so should improve most games performance.

I would do as Mickyflinn said and check first to make sure your motherboard can support the cpu before spending any money. Should only need a bios update but you have to do this first before trying to fit the new cpu.

I’ve never done a Bios update before but I will do that first

Hmm. 10505 would be better value, I think.

By the way, can you share the exact model name/number of your board from CPU-Z? Some of the B460 boards actually use H470, which means they do support 11th gen.

Thanks for the advice. Would having more cores on the 10400f help with game performance?

It really depends on the game. When I was more 'core limited' I would check out benchmarks online and compare the CPUs. I'm pretty sure football manager isn't multi threaded, WoT is ancient and slay the spire should run on a calculator. I'm not exactly in the know regarding AAA titles.

Techpowerup and techspot (how unboxed) are my go to.

I will check the model number. I’ve updated the Bios, it was straight forward
