I'm still running this CPU! I built my computer back in 2015 for $1,000 with the goal of making it last as long as humanly possible, unlike my friends that update and replace obsessively, and it still works great! I even have that same motherboard that you used here, which made this video much much cooler for me. Only changes have been upgrading to SSDs and getting a new graphics card after the first died on me back in 2019. I don't game much anymore, mostly Fortnite and Sea of Thieves once every 2 months or so with friends who live too far away to visit often, but this thing has been a TANK! The upgrade to SSDs only happened this year, and it probably bought me another year or two with this computer before I attempt "Future-proof MK2". Thank you for this video, it was exactly what I was looking for as I ponder the passage of time and wonder how much of my delaying is just me being poor and how much is me being stubbornly committed to using this computer fully!
the problem is the number of threads. Games made for more than 4 run like ass in that cpu, i had it until last year. Average fps arent bad, but the stutter is bad, in some cases makes things unplayable, like in ww3.
Im still using this processor for another 4 days lol. Had it OC at 4.4 and was running decent but was getting more and more lockups. So upgraded to a 11700k should be here in a few days and I'm sure it will be help with the bottleneck I was dealing with on my 2080. I tend to always stay 2-3 gens behind as its cheaper for me and I run for about a decade before I think of upgrading.
The 11700K is still more than enough to game! My main build is still rocking a 10700K! The bottleneck issue should definitely be resolved with that CPU.
I had mine AUTO overclocked by my MB up to 4.6ghz. It gave me a lot of performance increased. But I still think the bottleneck of this processor was/is no multithreading and slow ram speed.
Same... how is your fps holding? I have a decent gpu (for the cpu) and a 4.4ghz oc. But my cpu is maxed during gameing and only around 30fps (gpu kinda 80% so its cpu bottleneck)
No man, you wont run cyberpunk at 60 fps using that cpu, you might reach 60 once in a while, but you gonna play at 40-50 with drops to 30 something, this is at 4.5 ghz using 2133 ram, no matter what settings you use. And there was a 5th generation, it was very small, focused to laptops and some niche products. You can find I5-5xxx
It's way better to test it using AMD GPU because of the driver overhead issues with Nvidia and old hardware And don't forget to overclock it at least to 4.6ghz and use 2133/2400 mhz ram
Running this with an RX 580 8Gb. It's an old PC that I moved into the bedroom, hdmi to TV, red ringed 360 controllers connected to it 😂 Haven't even looked at it for overclocking, it was at one point but I couldn't be bothered playing about with it again, its just for casual gaming in bed lol Plays FIFA 23 well 👍 Which is about all I've used it for, for a while
Me watching this video on my i5-4690K. :) My pc is famous. lol
ME too! What GPU tho?
@@syrianball1875 that's the thing, none 😄 lol
@@numberoneappgames lol, I’m rocking the 1650
@@syrianball1875 nice 😊, you must be gaming well! 💜
I used too i5 4690k but gpu not work gtx 960 4gb😂

Thanks for the comment. Yeah it’s good to see people are still rocking this CPU!
4690K running 4.9. Getting arround 350 fps CS GO benchmark 1280 low 128 tick, with a 970 overclocked. Still runs great
Thats crazy! I cant get passed 4.3ghz stable. What are your settings?
the problem is the number of threads. Games made for more than 4 run like ass in that cpu, i had it until last year. Average fps arent bad, but the stutter is bad, in some cases makes things unplayable, like in ww3.
It's still running an old PC I use as a media senter in the basement :-) Use it to run dedicated servers from time to time.
Nice, thats a good way to get some more use out of it!
Can't have been rare to have m.2 slots, my z97m msi board has two of them, still rocking the i5 4590k with a 980ti 😅
1080ti for me my pc lags alot though on D4 ugh
I think I will take it over my i3

i got a rtx 2060 with this bad boy n he is still goin strong, playing helldivers 2 on dis biech

helldivers 2 runs terribly on this cpu
In building a student PC so is still relatable in 2023
I'm still going to build a new pc for me with this processor though. Got one for 20 bucks second hand :)

That build still holds up well.
Wtf? Ridiculous test. Old cpu with 3080 should be tested in max graphic settings in 4k to minimize bottleneck not low/1080p 😂
😂 you should have tested it overclocked, goose
I agree. OC the snot out of it and compare the results with the stock framerates
You're so right. Check out the overclocked video on my channel!
Why tf would you test it with a 3090 😂😂 bit silly
to get a clear understanding of the processing power without having the GPU bottlenecking it, plus he probably already had it on hand
bro didnt get it lol
I would upgrade but I'd need a new mobo and new new ram to go with a new socket...
