Most people would notice only having 4 cores pretty fast. If I went from my 7800x3d to a 12600k? Yeah I probably wouldn’t notice if I couldn’t see the fps counter

The first thing I open on my PC is task manager, so I’d notice.
I like looking at the graphs. Leave me alone.

I will see a lot of lag spikes immediately. 3d cache is a win
OoDelRio
I’d probably notice the computer not turning on since I have an AM5 board
PadreSJ
Well… I do video production every day on a system that has 3 x 4k monitors attached… so yeah… I’d notice immediately.
colossusrageblack
Dragons Dogma 2 would let me know immediately.

OP gotta be one of those people who also say the human eye can’t tell the difference between 60 and 144 fps.
Aurstrike
Considering my kids game on a 7700k and it’s very similar to the 12100, they would only notice because the new motherboard would have more RGB, or modern USB ports.
KernelPanic-42
I would notice straight away 😅
throwaway_uow
You people who think this way blatantly ignore factory games, that spit on your GPU, and will devour the CPU whole
SuperbQuiet2509
I notice even a 5800x3d
the_abortionat0r
Having my FPS tank? Yeah I’d noticed that.
What is this a shitty attempt at front page?
BlizzrdSnowMew
I play VRChat and have a 7800X3D. I would notice my frames being cut to less than half. VRChat is one of those games that massively benefits from large CPU cache.

Nice b8 m8

Blender user here. Will render tomorrow. From 13700KF i7 down to i3 12100. It would take so fucking long to prepare the scene for GPU rendering.
ThisDumbApp
Jokes on you, Id notice it wasnt in the Adrenalin software when I have to reapply my undervolt for my GPU every other day!
a_solemn_snail
Look. I need my 10850K and 64GB of RAM for all of the Redditing I do!
Hargan1
I’d notice the massive performance gain, yes
TurdFerguson614
Sim racing titles can tax my CPU heavily. Especially with the wheel & pedals software and haptic feedback software running with high refresh.
toolsofpwnage
I would notice immediately. My pc would be so much faster.
true_gamer13
I actually use a lot of my cores so i’d definitely notice something was wrong lol
Muted_Onix
I would realize fast. My cpu is slower lol. i3-3227u
Entropy1991
Laughs in AM4 socket
JollyAstronomer5786
i would notice because my pc is like 10yrs old
Megacarry
OP is coping because he can’t afford a 7800x3D
potatoesupmyass
What’s the lore reason for OP saying this? Are they stupid ?
LawAbidingPenguin
Probably not true for this specific subreddit. Bunch of nerds, myself included, who run fps/voltage/temp monitors. It’d give itself away pretty quickly. Like why is my cpu not boosting like normal.
The average person who games on pc? Yea I think you’re probably right. They would never notice.
DaddyRax
I would most certainly notice.
Mitsulan
GPU limited games, I’d agree. CPU limited games such as simulators? You’d notice immediately.
Pyroguy096
I’d probably notice pretty quick. I play flight simulator, but I’m pretty cpu limited ATM. An upgrade from an i7-8700k would be pretty big
MathewPerth
As soon as I unpause any paradox grand strategy I would notice.
KenzieTheCuddler
My max settings games would take a noticable hit
I would definitly not check that though
indianabobbyknight
I’d notice instantly, my computer would probably be faster than this new shit.

And the other 90% would notice immediately?
Maybe OP is using a GT1030
I’d notice instantly.

*sad 4090 noises*
***laughs in Helldiver 2 eating CPU resources like an AV actress at a bukkake shooting***
Nope. I’d notice my PC not fucking turning on
I run multiple VMs so I’d notice pretty fast. For gaming I would not though
Yeah I’d notice, I’d notice my laptop being fast
I would immediately, cause that’s definitely better than a Pentium
I’d notice on boot, I configured my grub to show the specs of the machine while in the menu.
If I was still on an 17 7700k I would absolutely notice.
12700kf? 99% would not
