Intel i5 7500 performance

I've recently upgraded from a i5 2500k to a 7500. Would there be any performance increase when playing this game? As in any fps increase?
So far temps are actually not surpassing 50c, meanwhile the 2500 would climb up to 100c+ lol.
The ui is way faster.

 

Was your 2500k overclocked? Going from an overclocked 2500k to a locked Kaby Lake may be a sidegrade instead of an upgrade, and may potentially lower overall FPS depending on what your 2500k was overclocked to. If your 2500k was at stock, then you should expect anywhere from a 10 to 30 percent improvement in switching to Kaby Lake from Sandy Bridge.

 

It's not all about clock speed. The IPC of the i5-7500 is substantially better than the i5-2500K, roughly 26%, based on PassMark benchmarks. The i5-2500K would have to be overclocked to over 4.1GHz to have equivalent performance.

 

The 2500k, wasn't overclocked. I have been getting 60fps with 1-3 cars with that cpu. I do see a huge improvement in smoothness. In other words, everything is way more responsive but the fps is the same no difference there. The ui isn't freezing every second "finally", and i'm constantly getting 60fps without it dropping every few minutes. The 2500k for its age, the cpu did rather well with this game.
A 6 year old cpu that was able to keep 60fps with 3 cars or more, is impressive to me. Even though the temps were off the chart, "100c+" it did rather well. I never go below 50fps unless i spawn 10 or more cars.

On other games there isn't much of a noticeable difference. On arma, its way faster though. I see a huge difference there. Before i was always lagging in fire fights, now im not
Beamng, ever sense it came out i've had the 2500k. I always had excellent fps with that cpu. For its time it was pretty good.
But i think it was just time to upgrade.

 

If you have vsync or fps limiter enabled, fps would not increase because of that, also it is possible that before your CPU was limiting factor and now it is your GPU.

For me, even 90fps is not smooth unless I have vsync enabled, especially if cpu limited when making a turn there is big gaps which bushes etc. 'move' on monitor surface, with vsync on and fps limited to refresh rate there are no such big gaps in movement. Not sure how to properly explain such.

So usually I keep vsync on and using MSI Afterburner I try to adjust my details so that at any moment there should not be 100% utilization for any CPU cores or the GPU, so I will never drop below 60fps and things stay smooth, it makes driving a lot easier.

Sometimes this is a challenge as there are some places on some maps where i7-6700 has too low single core performance at lowest graphics settings.
