This is 2020... The current optimum for a gaming system is at least six cores.Eight cores or more might be better but it does not necessarily depend only on the CPU. The reality that it is the pairing of the CPU & GPU that matters and also on how the game is coded.It's difficult to explain with all the details but it's got to do with what's called CPU/GPU bottlenecking.If you have a powerful GPU with a mediocre CPU, then the CPU is unable to offer the throughput that the graphics card is able to handle and the system performance suffers.The same happens if you have a powerful CPU with a low end graphics card. Then the CPU can deliver but the graphics card cannot handle it.Also not all games are designed the same. Some games are CPU dependent and some games are GPU dependent.So it's bit more complex than that appears on the surface<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /></blockquote>
