    i3 to a i7 a better choice?

    right now I have a i3-10105f with a GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, my motherboard is a B560 DS3H AC-Y1 (U3E1). My friend has a i7 GTX 1050 and he can run apex 144, while I have a better graphics can only cap at 80? i was thinking that it was my Intel Core and I could upgrade, but will that make my pc just as good if not better?

    While improving FPS rates can require knowledge of the dark arts and trying to achieve sustained high rates is akin to getting the Holy Grail, in theory, you have to say Yes.
    i7 is better than i3 - more threads, more cores, and budget allowing, higher frequency.
    but while is should be better, it will only be better for the processing that is required to be done at the CPU rather than the GPU.

      Do not forget to check the CPU support list to confirm that that CPU is fully supported.
