I have a CPU i5 2500 How can I play.

[D3vast8r]

What should I do I have a old CPU but the minimum requirements are i5 3500 3rd gen should I over clock my CPU?

[Tsunero]

it won't help much, expect sutters

[Gunslinger]

whats the rest of your build?

Not sure you can overclock that CPU. And even if you could, there isn't much you'll gain from it. As long as you have a decent GPU, you could probably run it fine, but as stated above, you might have some hangs and stutter.

you can only over clock a k cpu from intel , you also need MB that supports it and PSU that can supply it

[🦜Cloud Boy🦜]

your cpu should be fine for 30 fps

^ And a good cooler.

The 2500 only hits 3.7GHz with turbo though.

Non k 2500's can be overclocked to their max turbo frequency, it should be able to do 4.1ghz.

very true , with a tricked out bios on the right MB a few more doors open up :)

being a non k and hitting 3.7GHz to 4.1GHz will depend on the bios i think

If you have a console maybe play on there. You havent even mentioned a gpu

It's kind of funny how much tweaking you used to have to do for a nice overclock, now you basically just hit the multiplier and, maybe, up the voltage slightly.

Now, my 9600k does 5.1 UNDERVOLTED.

Newer CPU's come with very high voltages for some reason. I had to lower my voltage and still got a pretty decent OC. I have an 8600k. Came with 1.3v stock (if I remember correctly), did 4.6 an all cores with 1.14v. I could do a lower 1.12v and pass the stress test, but there was just one game that would BSOD me at the exact same spot all the time.

Had this PC for almost three years. No crashes ever since and sub 50c temps during gaming.

Ok sorry I don't get notifications from this stuff so my GPU and everything other than the cpu is great like my gpu is a AMD RX 580 perfect but I want to be able to play this game at 60 FPS with no noticable not fun lags and glitches that ruin the realistic graphics and stuff of this game thats the whole reason why i want to play this game is because it looks so real and good I dont want to be playing and having to deal with the lag and bad bad effects. And well i have never overclocked and well console no I dont want to play such a amazing game at 30 fps that Will be last LAST resort there is gotta be another way something i can do

Get a better computer or accept the fact that your hardware is outdated and that you will have to play with the settings to get 60 fps, and even then that isn't guaranteed.

Then the only other option is upgrading, man. But that means new mobo, possibly a power supply and a more recent CPU. You gotta weigh you options and consider if it's just better to invest in a new build.

That's right around the same voltage my 9600k used, 1.12v.

I did bump it up recently because the latest windows build will bsod after three or four days being up and that got annoying, but on older builds it was rock steady, nice temps btw, I'm using a 7 year old corsair h100i, so I'll hit mid to high 50's in gaming..but meh, that's still not too bad for such an old AIO.

I have the same exact AIO. It does its job and it does it well
