Hello everyone,

I’m trying to decide between an i5 vs i7 for gaming setup, but I also want to make sure it works well with my XP-Pen Artist Pro for creative work. I’m not sure if the i5 will provide enough power for smooth performance, especially when running graphic-intensive games alongside design software. On the other hand, I’m considering whether an i7 might be overkill for my needs when considering i5 vs i7 for gaming.

Some specific concerns I have:

• Gaming Performance: Will an i5 handle modern games well while running the XP-Pen Artist Pro software, or is the i7 a better fit?
• Lag and Responsiveness: Is there any noticeable difference in responsiveness between i5 and i7 when using the XP-Pen Artist Pro for drawing while gaming in the background?
• Cost vs. Performance: For anyone using the XP-Pen Artist Pro, is the upgrade to i7 worth the extra cost?

If anyone has experience with i5 vs i7 for gaming and using the XP-Pen Artist Pro for both gaming and digital art, any advice or insights would be much appreciated!
