Fallout 4 budget CPU for ULTRA 30fps?

[UTFapolloMarine]

already have a case, and psu, just looking for mobo, cpu and ram, looking to spend around 100$ on cpu, ram dont matter, and no more than 60-100$ on mobo any suggestion? was looking at i3 9100f, or ryzen 2200g? current build is athlon fm2+ what my best bet for ultra everything all the way up for FO4? dont care about future proof gaming just fallout 4

[UTFapolloMarine]

also i already have the gpu i need, and i play 1440p, so what CPU is my best bet? i3 9100f or a ryzen of some sort? also something in the budget to record okay gameplay, my current pc already okay but to record while gaming in ultra?

2200 and 2400G are APUs, thats for real budget users, not 1440p screen owners.

CPU choices depend on video card, since thats the component the CPU is gonna need to keep up with. Which video card is it?

rx 480 8gb OC bios to 580, it does 1440p fallout 4 quite well already not worried about the resolution actually, just a capable CPU for fallout 4 ULTRA with a few mods? already getting 30-60fps just looking to upgrade from a budget above this athlon, because my Sanctuary overhual drops to 15fps due to cpu resources to low, maybe a i3 9100f or a 1600x?

I have a 2200g with 8gb 2666 ddr4 and an xfx rx580 4gb. Its actually quite a beast. Not always on ultra settings but dang close.

Its sometimes surprisingly comparable to my ryzen 7 2700x with 8gb rtx 2070. not quite, but close enough to make me question the vast price differential.

Out of those two budget CPUs, the 9100f is naturally faster, the 2200G like before mentioned is an APU, both cpu and graphics chip and suffers from it. The 9100f is faster but does not have integrated graphics (one of the "perks" with Intel F series).

Out of those picks, Intel 9100f. If you willing to spend some more, a more appropriate pick for a RX 580 would be a Ryzen 5 3600 or somethin in those lines, you could pair that with any 60$ board, even the B450M would do it.

EDIT: since theres already posts sayin 2200Gs are "beasts", more visual representation:

9100f beats 2200G in every test there. Or against the more recent 3200G:

Where again the Intel 9100f beats the AMD processor everywhere.

Between the two, 9100f is the choice to make. Unless you aiming for something a few bucks more expensive.

something that will go with the CPU out the box no bios update required? i3 9100f and b365m ds3h?

will consider depending on the purchase

Anything with H or B prefix of the series "300" will be up to date and doesn't require any update to support a 9100f.

The B365M would be fine, or something like the B360 mortar, its just a matter of features between the letters. H is the fewest, B is in the middle, and the Z series are most expensive and feature rich.

okay thanks i dont care about any features just want out the box compatible and possibly a light OC if available, thanks brother pcpartpicker is saying that

i3 9100f and b635M DS3H have no problems out the box so thats were im going man thanks and God bless, also if the future i wanted to update that i3 what cpu is available? i7 they say not sure though

[Simple Man]

Might say "not sure" because all those low end boards are like 6 phase vrm circuits, far too skimpy to steadily provide voltage to CPUs that big.

If you wanna update later and pick up like an i7, or even an i5 K series and stick a bunch of OC on it, grab a Z series board. Im sure they'll have something in the 100~120$ (Z390 Pro4, or the M version that should be 10$ less or so, at 130$ Z390-A, etc), and those boards will already have much beefier power delivery circuits.

have i3 9100f and 1660 super, b360, m2 nvme, plays the game at 1080p ultra with a solid 60fps
at 1440 the thing will start to try to fry no doubt though

but if you are into K series chips and overclocking you would be well used to that anyway

[TΩKSYK]

Have you thought buying second hand?

You can find a good CPU for ~$100 these days, you may find a used i7 6700 non-K, i7 7700, etc., and a used b150 motherboard for relatively cheap.

[Nite69]

I got a Ryzen 5 2600x ($125), Asrock B450 Pro4 ($90) and 16GB DDR4 Crucial Sport LT 2400mhz ($50)

40fps around the main city at Ultra and thats without the Boston FPS Fix mod

on an intel chip you are stuck at 25fps, I had an i7 2600K overclocked to 4.2 and it didn;t help

i3-9100f will be much faster in fallout 4 as it needs CPU high frequency.

probably aiming for that unless i get a 1600x deal thanks
