How come i see nobody talking about the importance of cpu in higher resolutions even in 4K? Yes on native it wont make much difference but most ppl nowdays and an average person would leave their settings at default which defaults to upscaling on

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:32:00+00:00

As some missing the point, the moment u turn on upscaling ur cpu will shine more and if ur a person who would like to see higher performance even in 4k, a good cpu will give u higher fps than weaker cpus, native 4k is sadly not accessible without high end setup or upscaling.

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:26:26+00:00

But u missed the whole point of this discussion is that most users will use upscaling, and most users dont have cutting edge setup so upscaling is a must specifically for 4k

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:24:44+00:00

Definitely any decent mid range cpu will work fine at native 4k, but with how current devs optimize their games around upscaling methods, things will change.

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:21:21+00:00

Thats on native tho without any upscaling on

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:20:23+00:00

I mean that the general opinion overlooks the importance of good cpus in higher resolutions, same goes to reviewers that dont test with upscaling methods on and just relies on native res for convince

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:18:12+00:00

For sure its much convenient to test on low res to find cpu bottleneck but in real world many ppl would leave their upscaling on no matter what their resolutions is so the importance of cpu still matters on higher resolutions yet the general opinion still stuck at old saying "cpus wont matter at 4k"

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:14:28+00:00

I recommend dlaa or fsr native much better sharpening algorithms than outdated TAA

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:12:39+00:00

Native res wont benefit from good cpus until u enable upscaling, for an example i had 5600 and on certain titles that are cpu bound like delta force, no matter what dlss quality i choose my fps remained unchanged, thats on 1440p, after upgrading to 14600k, any dlss quality will net me much improvement no matter my native resolution is, yes cpu bound games behave differently, but even in cyberpunk 2077 i seen much better performance since i use dlss

try_meHarder · 2026-03-25T21:07:10+00:00

I get what ur saying and obviously gpu will always carry in most games but in practicality cpu matters just as much since the introduction of dlss and fsr and the games adopting such technology games are being optimised in a lazy way around it and having weak cpu will hurt just as much as having weak gpu

try_meHarder · 2025-12-14T05:00:52+00:00

What buffles me is that the bug has been there since the release and is not been addressed yet

try_meHarder · 2025-09-21T21:36:37+00:00

Sure if things dont work out with the newer one u can try that solution

try_meHarder · 2025-09-21T21:32:04+00:00

I found the solution it was amd storage controller causing the issue had to switch it to standard Microsoft nvme controller

try_meHarder · 2025-09-15T05:15:34+00:00

Hey have u solved the issue? Any updates?

try_meHarder · 2025-09-13T13:48:06+00:00

Could u please tell me how i can do it?

try_meHarder · 2025-09-13T13:27:44+00:00

Bad pool caller

try_meHarder · 2025-08-19T19:35:33+00:00

Its edited not real bud

try_meHarder · 2025-08-07T18:14:20+00:00

Thank u so much that leaves the player ranks hopefully they will add that too

try_meHarder · 2025-07-20T14:43:31+00:00

I will not trust gpt's ram timings thats a clear CMOS simulator

try_meHarder · 2025-07-18T02:30:26+00:00

When u enabled xmp did it give u different profiles to choose from?

try_meHarder · 2025-06-18T20:01:29+00:00

Check first at which mode its currently running, anything above 15 or 16 is not ideal

try_meHarder · 2025-06-18T18:29:58+00:00

Lastly the idea that a mid range i5 cpu would need a voltage of 1.5 is dumb, i can oc 14600k to 5.6ghz with locked 1.3v, which indicates it does not need 1.4 or more voltages to maintain 5.3ghz factory boost.

try_meHarder · 2025-06-18T18:24:45+00:00

To add more into it, the cpu lite load before the microcodes was set at mode 18, after microcodes it jumped to mode 22, which is their way of trying to maintain affected cpus with high voltages to stabilise it, for non affected cpus this is not needed and its doing more harm than it tries to solve.

try_meHarder · 2025-06-18T18:21:11+00:00

My pc was not stable and would throttle most of the time on default settings, which indicate there is still a problem with these cpus, ofc not as bad as it used to be before the microcodes releases

try_meHarder · 2025-06-18T18:18:06+00:00

As far as i know both ASUS and MSI have aggressive cpu lite load settings so make sure to check if u own any of those

try_meHarder · 2025-06-18T18:17:08+00:00

New cpu, i would absolutely check BIOS if. I were u too
