Hello dear community, I understand that I ask this question too early as game was not released at all but I really want to see your commnents and suggestions on my upcoming upgrade if it’s really required. I have: CPU - i7-3770k OC to 4.5Ghz Mobo - Asus P8Z77-Pro RAM 16Gb Corsair Dominator DDR3-2133 GPU - MSI GTX 1080 gpu I want: CPU - i7-8700k OC to 5Ghz Mobo - Asus ROG X Code Z370 RAM - GSkill 2\*8Gb DDR4-4133Mhz GPU - MSI GTX 1080 I don’t want to change GPU for now as want to wait for GTX 1180. Do you think that my current set up would be more then enough for 80-120FPS (at least 80). May be someone who saw videos from E3 can suggest if I’m ok with my current set up or I need an upgrade? Really appreicate for your suggestions guys Best Regards, DJ\_Cas ---

There was some gameplay of BF5 on 1080, YouTube it. Your current cpu is a no no, get 8700k. ---

processor is always the limiting factor for high fps in BF1 and I doubt it will be any different this time round. 8700K is a great choice ---

How many FPS do you get in BF1? BFV won’t be lot more demanding. If you have 800-1000$ lying around then go for it. The processor gives you at least 20-30% more performance in games. ---

> [@warslag](#): > > I thought there were some new CPUs out soon? AMD will have the Zen 2 7nm in (early to mid??) 2019. Until then the 8700K is still the best solution for gamers. ---

I am looking forward to buy an 8700k for this game. Can anyone tell me if its going to match with the 1060 or it will be a bottleneck? ---

> [@warslag](#): > > I thought there were some new CPUs out soon? yeah Intel and AMD announced monsters as 28-core and 32-core CPUs though not sure when they will go in production and when such game will appear on market with such support of cores ---

Since you’re already planning on getting the next generation nvidia card, imo, upgrade now. You get a computer that is faster in general and gives you a little smoother performance in games. And you are prepared when the next graphics cards arrive. Multicore CPUs like the Threadripper and the i9 are expensive and don’t help with gaming. > [@Solid\_Kas](#): > > I am looking forward to buy an 8700k for this game. > > Can anyone tell me if its going to match with the 1060 or it will be a bottleneck? No bottleneck, but your max framerate will be limited by your 1060. ---

Then will move to i7-8700k as you suggest ---

Is the i7-8700k vulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre? I’m also going to get a new CPU and mobo. ---

> [@warslag](#): > > Is the i7-8700k vulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre? I’m also going to get a new CPU and mobo. You don’t have to worry about that. A new CPU and Motherboard will already be “pre-patched”. The performance hit that came with these patches is small and shouldn’t hurt gaming (maybe 1 %). ---

It’s not like BFV is going to me much more demanding than BF1 and it’s not like you’re running on it on a potato. What you ‘want’ is certainly decent though, and when I was considering upgrading that’s the CPU I was planning to go for, although personally I hate Asus motherboards.
