hp victus for ts4?
hello,, im looking to get a desktop pc since my laptop is not working well anymore.
i was wondering if hp victus 15 could be a good choice since its one of the cheapest around, i play ts4 with 30+ gb of mods lol, do you think it could run the game well?
thanks in advance
@kurobestneko The i7 is significantly more powerful than the i5, but the majority of that power is completely wasted on Sims 4. The game can only use four cores, so having more than six, as the i5 does, makes no difference. The higher boost clock speed does matter in theory, but there aren't many in-game situations where it would make a difference. For practical purposes, when you saw a slowdown that the processor needed to clear, it would clear faster with the i7, but that might be, for example, the difference between waiting three seconds instead of two.
And again, the 3060 ti is a bit faster than the 4060, and its 1% low framerates don't drop as low either. Since the graphics card is the limiting factor in most gaming scenarios, that matters more than the processor, although of course all this hardware is far more than you need for Sims 4.
Given that the computer with the i7 is so much more expensive and the i5 is paired with a slightly better GPU, I would say that the cheaper model is the better choice. You can also upgrade the processor down the line if you want to. In a couple of years, when Intel and AMD are multiple generations past these models, you could probably find a used i5-13600K (as good as the i7-13700K for current games) for cheap and just swap it in. But that might never be necessary at all, and it probably won't be if you're still only playing Sims 4.
