GeoFs and intel core i7

Why is this game so laggy with an core i7 and it is very fast with an core i5 --Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 22:10, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Which i7 and which i5? Did all other components of the computer stay the same? I am pretty sure that human life begins with a crying baby, and if the baby does not cry it will get some help. Poveglia (talk) 00:54, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

The oldest i7 vs the latest i5 is not a fair battle https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-920-vs-Intel-Core-i5-9600KF/1981vsm772658 Poveglia (talk) 00:59, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

I am talking about core i7 8th gen and a i5 from 2013--Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 01:08, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Same graphics cards ? Same Ethernet speeds ? Same hard drive speeds ? Same O/S on each ? Both 64 bit versions ? If Windows, I suggest running the "Windows Experience Index" calculator, which may give clues as to the weak spot. SinisterLefty (talk) 02:23, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
