- Macha 5y agoAt the high end, factorio is one of those games (the other being flight sim) that also gains a lot from faster memory iirc. Though at the low end, factorio is also a really well optimised game and can run a 100spm factory at 60ups pretty comfortably on a mid range cpu. It's only the large multiplayer games or megabases where it starts to hit performance limits. Cities Skylines is probably the best example of a game where the average player has big gains in performance in regular play they could get from a cpu upgrade.
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agoI think you're underestimating factorio significantly. There are 20kspm bases that are run at 60 ups. I doubt most people will even feel the game performance start to degrade before 1kspm.
