how is gaming on that i7 7700 in bethesda titles? is it stutter and hitching free? especially skyrim LE? i have an i5 and was thinking either i7 or ryzen 7 for an upgrade which is why i'm asking but i'm in the same position, I get about 50% of game time in skyrim so a cpu that is best for that is a must. I know with my current i5 I still get slowdowns, stutters when turning really fast, on occasion, and stutters when running outside/changing new cells. my fps is usually 60 with some areas going down to 45, pretty heavily modded, with enb and 2k textures but i'm getting a 1080 ti now, previously was running skyrim on a 980 ti, and thus I was going to upgrade my cpu as well. playing on windows 10 x64, SSD
