Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of getting a new processor for my PC because my daw can't seem to handle the amount of plugins that I'm running with big mix sessions.
I'm on windows 10 64 bit and I always use Cubase (8.5 at the moment).
The current processor that is in my PC is an Intel I5 4440.
It has a clock speed of 3.1ghz with a turbo boost to 3.3ghz.
I'm not a computer expert but a friend of mine helped with looking up what processor would fit on my current motherboard.
The best option seems to be the I7 4790K.
That one has a clock speed of 4.0ghz and at turbo it can reach 4.0ghz iirc.
Now, I've never upgraded my CPU before so this may be a bit of a newbie question but it's not a cheap investment so I have to make sure it will be worth it.
What kind of differences will I notice when the CPU is upgraded?
I'm expecting my daw to be able to handle more plugins without dropouts etc.
That's actually the main reason want to upgrade.
Will this upgrade make me happy?
