GPU

The i5 4440 really isn't that good of a CPU for the price but it's still gonna be better than your old one.

 

But if the t75 lags of ultra, I can turn off postfx and turn down the settings to medium.

 

No you can't, it's CPU related, graphics won't change a thing.

 

Not how it works. That would not change your FPS at all, just make it look worse.

 

Will overclocking make a difference?

 

Yes. Overclocking will improve performance if you are CPU bottlenecked in BeamNG. (Which with a T75 you almost definitely will be if you get an R9 270.)

 

Will a better graphics card make a difference for the t75 or is it just the i5?

 

They literally just explained to you that the slowdown from a T75 is CPU related. Upgrading your GPU to 3x SLI 980s won't make a difference if your CPU is too weak to run it, which it is.

 

The CPU does all the physics processing so unless your GPU is really bad and bottlenecks the CPU, it'd be just the i5.

 

Oh ok... Well im stuck with the i5 4440 so I will have to make do with this one. I'm gonna get an r9 270.

 

The i5-4440 is basically the haswell version of my cpu, it will handle most things no problem (except t75, that will be laggy)

Overclocking helps, but the 4440 is locked so you can't.

 

Well my msi board comes with OC genie so it might work

 

You cannot OC the important part of OC: the multiplicator. Because it is locked. You can however tell your processor to run at full turbo all the time. But the benefits are measurable but you will barely feel them.

The other part of OC is the BLCK (what used to be the FrontSideBus). But overclocking the BLCK is limited, all your system components rely on it and OC capabilities will go up to about 104-107 Mhz, depending on board, CPU, Moon-phases and the quality of a fresh bucket of milk. Again this is measureable, but barely feel-able.

Conclusion: Overclocking a i5 4440 is useless. Buy an unlocked K-processor.

 

Well I might buy a 5th gen once my i5 goes bad. I don't plan to overclock I was just wondering.

 

That is another thing, my old 2500K still does run fine, just like my 3 year old 7970 runs fine at a friends place. As long as you don't do silly stuff and it is not a monday-model this hardware will last long.

 

What do you mean by Monday model

 

A unit that fails sooner than usual. Like i bought 3x 500GB Samsung SSDs at once from the same distributor. Now a year later 1 failed, the other 2 work fine, thus the 1 failed is a monday-model.

 

What do you mean by Monday model

 

actually locked intel cpu's can still be overclocked slightly (only affects turbo though)

on my cpu i can overclock all 4 cores to 3.4GHZ (once again, only on turbo though) and i can go as far as 3.6GHZ but it will only affect 2 cores, the rest will stay at 3.4GHZ (and once again, only on turbo)

reason i don't is because intel cooling sucks horribly
