Hello everyone,
I have a technical question.
I would like to replace the current processor of my Asus X75VD1 laptop (Intel Pentium B980 2.40GHz) with an Intel Core i3-2370M 2.40GHz. I think it might work because this processor is available in the same model’s computer (Asus X75VD-TY082V).
But before buying, I’d like your opinion on potential issues. Also on potential performance gains (moving to 4 threads, more cache, etc).
Thank you for your help!
PS: I got this PC second-hand and I’m in the upgrading phase (I already swapped the HDD for an SSD, added 4GB of RAM, replaced the battery + keyboard). I’d like it to run games like Fortnite, GTA V, Overwatch, even on Low settings.

Especially since I think GTA V ran fine on its own? So 800 x 600 resolution as usual?
Regarding Fortnite, I'm not sure if DirectX 10 support has been dropped. On my main PC I play with a graphics card from 2011, so it doesn't support DirectX 11, and yet the game is ugly to look at but it runs perfectly.
Don't worry about the graphics part, it holds up for playing GTA V on low with a resolution of 1280x720.
Thanks for your help
