Mine still has me gaming at 1440p with no issues. . I am buying a 7800x3d this week and passing my 7700k build on to my nephew.. it's more than capable of running anything new .. even cyberpunk runs great with it 😊
@@angtang01 I went with the 7900X instead, because there was a great deal on a bundle, AND the x3d chips have been over heating and blowing up. Scary stuff that I just wanted to avoid. I put 64gb ram into it and everything runs perfect. Do you live near a microcenter by chance?

Im still running my 7700k (not clocked at this time) and a 3060 ti. Runs everything in 2k, albeit not perfect all the time. Definitely playable right now but going to upgrade in the coming months. 7700k has been a trooper through the years and will be given a spot on my wall.
My 7700K has gotten me to 2023 NO PROBLEMS 1440p... I've loved it and have saved thousands on upgrades over the years. I really don't even want to get rid of it but I am itching for a new build with some really great found holiday sales... will be keeping it and using it in another back-up-ish computer hopefully for a long time to come!
Times fly. If I want to build my 'glory days' system, I need to look for a PIII 800. I still think that most of the best games I've played don't need more. Besides Cyberpunk, of course. :) From the past to today: Pentium 200 MMX, Pentium III 667/800, Athlon 64 3200+, Phenom 2 X4 955, i5 4460, Ryzen 5800X.
Nice. Started on a Pentium 100mhz, then Celeron 500mhz, then Pentium 4 2.4ghz with that RD RAM. Then I started building my own PCs and went Athlon 64 3400+, Intel Core 2 Duo e6420 and e6320 OC'd to 3.0-3.2ghz daily driving, then a Q6600 that ran at 3.4ghz easy, 3.6ghz with voltages that I couldn't cool with my old Zalman comfortably. Then I went FX-8350 for a few years in a row... LOVED it. Miss it. I'm most nostalgic about that one, honestly. Then Ryzen 3600, Ryzen 5900x... and that's where I'm at now. Asus STRIX B550-F Gaming WiFi II (BT 5.3/WiFi 6e) / Ryzen 9 5900x PBO'd and CO'd / 2x16GB DDR4 3600 C16 dual rank RAM, fully tuned timings / 6700XT 12GB / 8x storage devices (SSDs, 2x HDDs in RAID 0, 1x HDD for storage, and a Samsung 970 Evo Plus as the boot drive/favorite game of the month drive lol) It's always top 1% in the 5900x scores on benchmarks thanks to the CO and PBO and dual rank, tweaked RAM... but it's still NOTHING gaming-wise to a 5800x3D or anything Zen 4.
@@JustAGuy85 I have 3 computers right now. C2D E8400 @3,9 GHz for Win XP, FX 6300 @4,2 GHz for Win 7 and the main rig. I have pretty decent motherboard for FX platform (Gigabyte FXA-990-UD3 rev 5) so I am pondering if I should go for FX 8350. Although FX 6300 in all overclocked system seems to do splendid work already. Enough for a Win 7 computer, IMHO. Even Phenom II 955 handled Win 7 pretty well. I can even play Baldur's Gate 3 on it with acceptable framerate (GTX 970) and this one is really CPU hungry.
@@RudolfSikorsky I saw so much hate on AMD CPUs through that time that I stopped paying attention. I did a job for a friend who doesn't even have PC's. The job wasn't PC related lol, would have been a mechanic job on a vehicle or something, I honestly can't remember. He asked me if I'd take a motherboard that hadn't been used. It was an AM3+ mobo. I was just gonna sell it. But I built that FX-8350 rig with it lol. It was an Asus M5A97 R2.0. So, I got that probably around the time 4th or 5th gen Intel was out. I was on a C2Q Q6600. Point being, I honestly don't know. I found this much out... I had an HD7850 that ran good on it, and I went to an HD7870 that did improve performance a bit. Then I went to an RX480 8GB. I gained little to no performance. Built a mining rig with RX480 8GB's. This was like 2017? I built the rig with a cheap CPU, a Pentium G4560. Turns out, it was practically an i3 7100, just no boost clock (3.5ghz) and probably smaller cache amounts. That CPU did better in 90% of games than my FX-8350. But, as you can imagine, there were quite a few games that did use more than 2c/4t... Battlefield did, Prey did, some games I can't remember did lol... And in those games, even playing around with CrossFire RX480 8GB's, the FX-8350 could come back and do better. For the most part, the G4560 was a better CPU. Whole point is a long way of saying "I don't know." I don't know if that motherboard is just enough or more than enough and I dunno if you'd see gains, and if so, how much you'd see, using the GTX 970. But if you are familiar with these parts, you probably know.
i have 7700K delid @ 5 ghz and i've just tested it on Cyberpunk 2077. I am around 70-80 fps average bottelneck CPU. So 7700K OC is still good on 2023 if you run on a 4K 60 hz monitor (like me).
Do you use it to play at 60fps on a 4k monitor? or just 1440p? I am thinking of getting a 3070ti for my 7700k, and i also have a 4k 60fps monitor, but my card is only a 1050ti...
I like the comparisons! I’m currently rocking a 6600k on a z170 motherboard with a gtx 1060. The 7700k is the best cpu I can find without needing to get a new motherboard, and I’ve seen a 50$ and an 80$ listing within the past week alone. I’ve never had any issues gaming on my 1080p 60hz monitor, but my loading times on baldurs gate 3 are getting ridiculous, so I’m hoping the new cpu will help speed things up a bit. I’ll most likely end up upgrading to a better gpu early next year, then upgrade the cpu/mb to 13th or 14th gen in 2024.
Apparently the average game gets about a 8-10fps boost going from the 6600 to the 7700. Given a $70 cpu kills our 6600 it is best to just change the motherboard.
If you live in a larger city, I'd suggest checking out the local 2nd hand market. I've seen a number of good z490 and z590 motherboard going for $100usd and processors like the i7-10700k going for $120. You might be able to talk the seller down too. There is also Ryzen. One of my buyers found a working Ryzen 5800x for $80, and I upgraded a system to a ASRock B450 Steel Legend motherboard and a Ryzen 5700x for $220.
I remember the debate between zen 1 and this cpu. Most touted this as the performance king. Well, AMD might have played the long con but I have a 5800x3d on the same platform with a 4090, and they have, well, this or probably am5!
I'm still rocking my 7700k Delid 5Ghz 32gb ram and GTX 1080ti still doing a great job but im really wanting to upgrade and using the 7700k in a build for my daughter.
Me and my kid run this set up. She has i5 and I got i7. At 1080p she has no issues with high or ultra using 1660 ti, me I run a 2070 at 1440p but it was way better at 1080p. As example I can run over 60fps on ultra setting starfield at 1440p and 1080p is higher fps of course.
OC gives more heat than fps. For 10fps its not worth it to have very very hot cpu, im done with oc's, now mine is just stock and i love the temps and silent fans
@@dankhalifa6937 They are running quite hot. But ive done lapping with mine, used liquid metal paste and i also have watercooling and running stable at 5ghz
Tech Evovled : the problem isn't the price of this CPU. I would actually buy it again (I used to have but sold it due to quite a lot of stutters due Win 10 surrounding not being kind to only 4 physical cores). The problem with any Intel cpu-s is that the motherboards become completely scarse in 2 years time since their release. And if you do find a used motherboard, they have a very high probability of being degraded on the VRM-s side or memory banks side (if the previous owner did any kind of OC-ing, which most of them did) and they have PIN GRID ARRAW sockets which is stupid and can be damaged very very fast which is very hard to repair with realignment. While the CPU-s are LAND GRID ARRAW which is virtually impervious and since the CPU-s are harder to kill than MOBO-s, you see where I am going ? The motherboards would have to be available for at least as long as AMD-s AM4 are (since 2017 until 2024). For example AMD motherboards have indestructable socket AM4 and can outlive the CPU-s on the mechanical side. Plus, AM4 board released in 2017 and the B450, X470, B520, B550 and X570 can still be bought in 2024 new. That is now 7 years of NEW spare motherboards....and guess how long will they be available used !!!!
atm, i have an 7700k at Asus z170 PG with 2x8gb 3333's and a 4060 8gb. W10@970 evo, games@860/840 evo's, data@WD Red. everything runs fine at 1080p and very high settings with 70-90 fps. with frame generation i have 100+ fps in Cyberpunk and FS2020. for an 2015 cpu the 7700k still performs very good in most games but 6c/12-20t or 8c/16-28t is definitely more future proof. if i would build new now i would pick for a budget build a 12400 on Asus b660/ddr4 to keep my ddr4 ram or 13600 on a Asus b760 board with ddr5. later with a rtx 6060 or 7060, i would put an 14700 on the b760 board. the Asus Pro Art b760 Creator for 200 bucks is perfect for an actual i5 non k build. overclocking is fun, surely, but in 24/7 day to day usage i need a quiet, stable and lagg-free system on my desktop.
lol bro I'm still using my i7-6700k same cores etc warzone runs pretty good and that's heavy. You can get a 6 core or more for a similar price rn though
I use a 7700k for music production still in 2023. It works just fine, but yeah, I wouldn't recommend necessarily going out of your way to buy one, especially not for gaming. This video has me thinking I need to upgrade soon.
I run a 2010 macbook pro with i7 for music production. It has 16gb of RAM and an older SSS. It handles as many audio tracks and vsts that I throw at it.
If you can find a good deal on a used PC with an i7 then I say go out of your way to buy it. I bought a PC in May 2023 with an i7 8700k, GTX 1060 6GB, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM for $300. The motherboard is an MSI Z370-A PRO. The PC came with a Corsair H100i 240mm AIO cooler installed in a Kediers C570 open air case with 7 RGB fans installed.
4cores 8threads is more than enough! Yes there’s better 6core options but for anyone looking for a cheaper rig or first system happy days. You can also buy an i3 13100f for the same price as a 7700k in the UK so I’d never go out an actual buy one for that kind of money 😅
@@tech_evolved it's not a ripoff, if you also want to use the same computer for running virtual machines. Need VT support in the processor to do that. Pretty sure i3 doesn't support VT instructions.
Still got i7 7700k paired with RTX 1080ti Zotac after 6 years, can run everything on 1080p high/ultra with 70fps at least, and works great on 1440p as well.
The I7 7700k (still runnning it) is good upon to the rtx 2070. Any Gpu above that will bottleneck. So if ur running an I7 7700k (with or without OC) paired with a RTX 2070 you will still have much gaming pleasure in 2023.
My 7700k just won't break. I've been running it at 5.0ghz, de-lidded, Liquid metal on IC for the past 5 years. With Asus rog 1080, it just keeps giving. I game at 1080p 240hz and honestly I'd rather first OC, de-lid before shelling money on newer hardware. I am going to buy a new GPU first before I buy anything else
Just got one, on a asus z270H board with trident royal z ram.. Its replacing the GOAT, 2600k on a asus p8p67 LE... Poor old thing, worked it to DEATH... its long loNg suffering, is finally over
If you have a 60hz monitor just lock the fps. I have a 1080p 75hz monitor that I use in 60hz mode, because the only difference I see is the power consumption and heat. I have a good PC but I don't need more than 60 or even 30 to enjoy a game.
I'm still running a 7700k with a 3070 - Luckily I'm running an ultrawide monitor so where other systems might bottleneck, mine forces my GPU to take more of the brunt. I feel they're a good base level pairing, obv a newer CPU would be dope. But my GPU MOST of the time is the bottleneck which I'm happy with. Fkn sucks for cyberpunk tho lol
Debloating windows for these older 4 core processors can give them a boost in gaming aswell as multi tasking I just debloated my 6600k system and get less bottleneck than before
Sure, it doesnt make sense to try to buy a new 7700k now, but no need to upgrade if you already have one. At least until we hit windows 10 End of Life (EoL)
Still using a 7700k @ 5Ghz (all cores/threads), 64GB DDR4 @ 3800 MHz + NVMe M.2 SSD. Windows 10 has been de-bloated. Don't run any other apps when gaming, with the Spectre/Meltdown mitigations deactivated. Built the system late 2015 with a 6700k and then swapped in the 7700k at launch. It still meets all my gaming needs. Though I use a 75Hz FreeSync monitor. The system has served me well for a long time now and I've no plans build a new one any time soon (upgrading isn't possible, motherboard doesn't support anything beyond a 7700k). But... if I had gone X99 back then instead, that would have been a better move. Could now slap in an 8 core/16 thread CPU and get even more longevity. Plus more grunt for productivity tasks!
Currently in 2024, the i7 7700k is going around $100. I already have a whole system built around the z170, including the 6600k at 4.4ghz, 32GB ddr4, 2TB wd sn850x, wd black 8TB hdd, rx 5700 xt oc. I'm getting cpu bottlenecks during certain games that measures around 30-50% gpu usage and 100% cpu. For example, assetto corsa competizione at 1440p high settings, I will get a rough range of 30-80fps varying inconsistently and around 30-50% gpu usage, sometimes 80%, while the cpu is pinged at 100% the whole time. It becomes a bit more more playable at medium settings. I feel as though if I spend $100 on just the 7700k and call it a day, then overclock it, it may alleviate a significant percentage of the cpu bottleneck, though I don't know by how much, but for $100, I feel fine with that for now. I'm trying to avoid doing anymore upgrades until I decide on a whole new system, either going with intel 13 or 14th gen i5, or probably the amd R5 7600 route. I do plan on keeping this older system as a second pc. If someone has knowledge on this, it would help.
If you don't want to build a whole new system I would suggest the 7700k upgrade. Getting the hyperthreading and higher clocks will pair good with the 5700 xt. If you want to save and just upgrade to a new platform, I'd suggest amd 7600. It's more than enough for future upgrades and the platform should get future cpu support so you can ugrade to a later generation when you look to upgrade again.
Sure for new games its outdated cpu. But for older games that are made to work with 4 core cpus. 7700k with 4,8-5ghz must be better i believe rather than newer 6-8 core cpu with lower frequency.
I paid 170€ for a moba ram and the 7700k currently overclocked, ive seen it reach 4.8ghz unless cpuz was going crazy and everything is still smooth, buying a 4060 ti in the near future Edit: I got it running at 5ghz now
im using the i7 7700 with the rx7900 and its GREAT playing hogwarts legacy , fortnite , valorant , call of duty all of them on epic setting ,most with raytraycing and all of them over 200 fps
200 for in hogwarts legacy with a 7900 xt and raytracing? Also the rest are easy to run games. Most modern cpus will get 500+. Don’t know why you feel the need to show you’re bottlenecking your gpu in a random comment section but okay!
I think its the fact that people promote stuff that IS more demanding The prime example: this roblox dev upgraded idk..... 2 years ago? 22-23? Idk its on their Twitter somewhere.... but they had this: it has to do with what they're doing If she was only playing , building or etc She wanted to play , build and and stream as do a lot of people nowadays its these streaming programs that require all these cores Giant games, video editing, stream encoding pre rendering etc all require more cores and more HP
I build a mini itx with a i7 7700 pair with a 1070 8gb used parts, and everything else as Well and trust so far it plays every game I throw at it. i keep it locked at 60 fps at high settings 1080p no need to stress out my gear, and when playing multiplayer games it gives 120fps at high settings, for cost of used parts and being a mini itx. its a no brainer, I can give another 5 years before building another used parts of this years release, thats so great about pc building no need to follow trends and feel left out of these high end rigs, high end pc are ment for productivity film editing music production and for those that like to Hack the planet lol😂.
Pfft. A 4th gen i7 4770/90k is still putting in work. Maybe not on a few of the niche stuff like alan wake but that game kills most any hardware that isn't a few years old. For general gaming its still perfectly fine.
Currently I'm probably slightly bottlenecking my 2080 Ti with the 7700K, but I could get the card for a good price from a friend, and coming from an RX 580 it was definitely worth it.
yo man can u tell me what games u play and do u play on low or high and what is about the average fps im about to upgrade to a 6700xt from a 1660 and for a cpu i was thinking of doing a i7-7700k but for 100$ less i can get a i7-6700k so im just wondering the fps u get kuz new setup will be similar to urs pls and TY

Nice! I still have mine paired with a 1050ti lol, that's what i could afford back then. I wanna use my 4k monitor @60 fps, will my 7700k go well with a 3070ti? Will i be ok if i get one now?
@@tech_evolved really? well, about my budget... here in my country, those 3070ti or 3080 cards are around 550us (used), so i am considering something in that price rank
Genuine question, I bought my PC back in 2018, and other than upgrading some other components my i5-7400 is still powering this machine. Sadly, as it is prebuilt, the motherboard they chose doesn't have too much room for improvement as CPU compatibility is quite limited. The maximum I could mount is an i7-7700K (Bios upgraded to the last available), do you recommend the upgrade as a quick refresh and "cheap" alternative to rebuilding the whole PC? Mind you I use it quite equally to work and game on. I think the doubled threads could help a lot but maybe I'm wrong
Personally I would save and switch platforms. I think if you can find find a cheap am4 motherboard and pick up a first gen ryzen that would be a better quick fix than the 7700. Really just depends on the prebuilt's compatibility with mobo size. I think you should be able to pick up a b450m and an r5 1600 for around $120 ish in US while the 7700k is $150 and the 7700 is $90 (just on eBay rn). That would allow you to upgrade to 5950x or something since you do work as well.
depends on what graphics card you're using. with an 1060 there is not much difference besides mp games. with an better gpu like 3060 you definitely will see a difference.
@@steffenlze0178 I don't have a powerful card so I can imagine the bottleneck I would get with one but as I said the main use is not just gaming and now I can assure you that with 4 threads, even tho I cleaned Windows of bloatware and other stuff as much as I can, doing multiple heavy tasks is getting pretty choppy. As much as I want to do more with this computer, changing mobo is not doable since windows was installed as OEM and I would have to reinstall everything just to make it work with another mobo
@@volo34GFX i know what you talk about. before i bought my 7700k in 2020 from ebay i had an 7600k overclocked to 4.8ghz. mostly the i5 was running very well but here and there some game and many apps nowadays depending on more that 4 threads. the 7700k does everything much faster. in games i have much more stable and higher framerates. if you can get an 7700k then buy one. you definitely will be happy with it. btw, my 7700k runs together with a 4060 and i can play Cyberpunk at ultra preset without any problems.
@@steffenlze0178 Thanks, reading that it really helps reassure me a lot. I was still doubting the decision, even tho I don't have any other option really 😂. As for the GPU, I was thinking too something along the lines of a 4060ti, possibly with 16gb since I do work with it. We'll see in the future months...
I remember when this CPU was all the rage and fairly new, doesn't feel old to me. Crazy how slow it is now, just shows how much better CPUs have gotten. Feel like in retrospect this would have been a poor buy

the i7's frome the 6/7th gen make little to no sense to buy these days. Even if someone owns a motherboard from that era, it's better to just sell these parts and buy even a cheap am4 motherboard with a R5 1600/2600 and it would still cost less than upgrading to the i7.

It has 8 threads so not really a quad core bcz intel has Cpu with less threads past 7700K. Especially when 9700K (8C 8T) Perfomes very similar to a 7700K (4C 8T) and the games that take advantage of more than 4 core is most likely going to be optimized with HT in mind. You should included 9100K (or 8100K) Bcz thats a true Quad core and it is most likely wont be able to achieve a stable 60 in modern games
you mean the 8100/9100f not K. K is for unlocked cpus. I'd still say a ht enable quadcore is still a quadcore by definition as threads are just a pipeline and not another physical core
@@DemonSaine By definition yes but performance in games is pretty much identical with a 8C 8T. AND 4C 4T cpus are not able to play modern games very well.
7700K is a lot slower than 9700K in games (20-30% at least). They're basically equivalents to 3600 vs 5600, slightly less productivity power than these but system latency is superior

1080ti would be more than enough for 2k. A dogshit rx 580 runs helldivers 2 on 1080p at 60 fps.
My 7700K has gotten me to 2023 NO PROBLEMS 1440p... I've loved it and have saved thousands on upgrades over the years. I really don't even want to get rid of it but I am itching for a new build with some really great found holiday sales... will be keeping it and using it in another back-up-ish computer hopefully for a long time to come!
Yes, keep😢your 7700k
Same
I have one, paired with a RTX 2070 super. Works just fine.
Times fly. If I want to build my 'glory days' system, I need to look for a PIII 800. I still think that most of the best games I've played don't need more. Besides Cyberpunk, of course. :) From the past to today: Pentium 200 MMX, Pentium III 667/800, Athlon 64 3200+, Phenom 2 X4 955, i5 4460, Ryzen 5800X.
Nice.
Started on a Pentium 100mhz, then Celeron 500mhz, then Pentium 4 2.4ghz with that RD RAM. Then I started building my own PCs and went Athlon 64 3400+, Intel Core 2 Duo e6420 and e6320 OC'd to 3.0-3.2ghz daily driving, then a Q6600 that ran at 3.4ghz easy, 3.6ghz with voltages that I couldn't cool with my old Zalman comfortably. Then I went FX-8350 for a few years in a row... LOVED it. Miss it. I'm most nostalgic about that one, honestly. Then Ryzen 3600, Ryzen 5900x... and that's where I'm at now.
Asus STRIX B550-F Gaming WiFi II (BT 5.3/WiFi 6e) / Ryzen 9 5900x PBO'd and CO'd / 2x16GB DDR4 3600 C16 dual rank RAM, fully tuned timings / 6700XT 12GB / 8x storage devices (SSDs, 2x HDDs in RAID 0, 1x HDD for storage, and a Samsung 970 Evo Plus as the boot drive/favorite game of the month drive lol)
It's always top 1% in the 5900x scores on benchmarks thanks to the CO and PBO and dual rank, tweaked RAM... but it's still NOTHING gaming-wise to a 5800x3D or anything Zen 4.
@@JustAGuy85 I have 3 computers right now. C2D E8400 @3,9 GHz for Win XP, FX 6300 @4,2 GHz for Win 7 and the main rig. I have pretty decent motherboard for FX platform (Gigabyte FXA-990-UD3 rev 5) so I am pondering if I should go for FX 8350. Although FX 6300 in all overclocked system seems to do splendid work already. Enough for a Win 7 computer, IMHO. Even Phenom II 955 handled Win 7 pretty well. I can even play Baldur's Gate 3 on it with acceptable framerate (GTX 970) and this one is really CPU hungry.
@@RudolfSikorsky I saw so much hate on AMD CPUs through that time that I stopped paying attention. I did a job for a friend who doesn't even have PC's. The job wasn't PC related lol, would have been a mechanic job on a vehicle or something, I honestly can't remember.
He asked me if I'd take a motherboard that hadn't been used. It was an AM3+ mobo. I was just gonna sell it.
But I built that FX-8350 rig with it lol. It was an Asus M5A97 R2.0. So, I got that probably around the time 4th or 5th gen Intel was out. I was on a C2Q Q6600.
Point being, I honestly don't know.
I found this much out... I had an HD7850 that ran good on it, and I went to an HD7870 that did improve performance a bit.
Then I went to an RX480 8GB. I gained little to no performance.
Built a mining rig with RX480 8GB's. This was like 2017? I built the rig with a cheap CPU, a Pentium G4560. Turns out, it was practically an i3 7100, just no boost clock (3.5ghz) and probably smaller cache amounts.
That CPU did better in 90% of games than my FX-8350. But, as you can imagine, there were quite a few games that did use more than 2c/4t... Battlefield did, Prey did, some games I can't remember did lol...
And in those games, even playing around with CrossFire RX480 8GB's, the FX-8350 could come back and do better.
For the most part, the G4560 was a better CPU.
Whole point is a long way of saying "I don't know." I don't know if that motherboard is just enough or more than enough and I dunno if you'd see gains, and if so, how much you'd see, using the GTX 970.
But if you are familiar with these parts, you probably know.
Its not just the number of cores, IPC is a big factor aswell.

@@Fouad.Chaoukiyou can achieve the same result by capping your framerate something I highly recommend.
I like the comparisons! I’m currently rocking a 6600k on a z170 motherboard with a gtx 1060. The 7700k is the best cpu I can find without needing to get a new motherboard, and I’ve seen a 50$ and an 80$ listing within the past week alone. I’ve never had any issues gaming on my 1080p 60hz monitor, but my loading times on baldurs gate 3 are getting ridiculous, so I’m hoping the new cpu will help speed things up a bit. I’ll most likely end up upgrading to a better gpu early next year, then upgrade the cpu/mb to 13th or 14th gen in 2024.
Apparently the average game gets about a 8-10fps boost going from the 6600 to the 7700. Given a $70 cpu kills our 6600 it is best to just change the motherboard.
If you live in a larger city, I'd suggest checking out the local 2nd hand market. I've seen a number of good z490 and z590 motherboard going for $100usd and processors like the i7-10700k going for $120. You might be able to talk the seller down too. There is also Ryzen.

Me and my kid run this set up. She has i5 and I got i7. At 1080p she has no issues with high or ultra using 1660 ti, me I run a 2070 at 1440p but it was way better at 1080p. As example I can run over 60fps on ultra setting starfield at 1440p and 1080p is higher fps of course.
OC the hell out of this bad boy and it's just a stock 12100 basically, which is pretty amazing, I love this chip
OC gives more heat than fps.

4k isn't cpu heavy
@tech_evolved Exactly. That's exactly why an i7 7700k with a 308Ti is perfectly adequate.
Same story here , 2k and 4k gaming with a CPU from 2017 year, like np. Good luck to marketologs liars
Tech Evovled : the problem isn't the price of this CPU. I would actually buy it again (I used to have but sold it due to quite a lot of stutters due Win 10 surrounding not being kind to only 4 physical cores). The problem with any Intel cpu-s is that the motherboards become completely scarse in 2 years time since their release. And if you do find a used motherboard, they have a very high probability of being degraded on the VRM-s side or memory banks side (if the previous owner did any kind of OC-ing, which most of them did) and they have PIN GRID ARRAW sockets which is stupid and can be damaged very very fast which is very hard to repair with realignment. While the CPU-s are LAND GRID ARRAW which is virtually impervious and since the CPU-s are harder to kill than MOBO-s, you see where I am going ? The motherboards would have to be available for at least as long as AMD-s AM4 are (since 2017 until 2024).
For example AMD motherboards have indestructable socket AM4 and can outlive the CPU-s on the mechanical side. Plus, AM4 board released in 2017 and the B450, X470, B520, B550 and X570 can still be bought in 2024 new. That is now 7 years of NEW spare motherboards....and guess how long will they be available used !!!!
atm, i have an 7700k at Asus z170 PG with 2x8gb 3333's and a 4060 8gb. W10@970 evo, games@860/840 evo's, data@WD Red. everything runs fine at 1080p and very high settings with 70-90 fps. with frame generation i have 100+ fps in Cyberpunk and FS2020. for an 2015 cpu the 7700k still performs very good in most games but 6c/12-20t or 8c/16-28t is definitely more future proof. if i would build new now i would pick for a budget build a 12400 on Asus b660/ddr4 to keep my ddr4 ram or 13600 on a Asus b760 board with ddr5. later with a rtx 6060 or 7060, i would put an 14700 on the b760 board. the Asus Pro Art b760 Creator for 200 bucks is perfect for an actual i5 non k build. overclocking is fun, surely, but in 24/7 day to day usage i need a quiet, stable and lagg-free system on my desktop.
Will the i7 7700 handle a gtx 1080 ti?
Yes.

I use a 7700k for music production still in 2023. It works just fine, but yeah, I wouldn't recommend necessarily going out of your way to buy one, especially not for gaming. This video has me thinking I need to upgrade soon.
I run a 2010 macbook pro with i7 for music production. It has 16gb of RAM and an older SSS. It handles as many audio tracks and vsts that I throw at it.
If you can find a good deal on a used PC with an i7 then I say go out of your way to buy it. I bought a PC in May 2023 with an i7 8700k, GTX 1060 6GB, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM for $300. The motherboard is an MSI Z370-A PRO. The PC came with a Corsair H100i 240mm AIO cooler installed in a Kediers C570 open air case with 7 RGB fans installed.

Still got i7 7700k paired with RTX 1080ti Zotac after 6 years, can run everything on 1080p high/ultra with 70fps at least, and works great on 1440p as well.
The I7 7700k (still runnning it) is good upon to the rtx 2070. Any Gpu above that will bottleneck. So if ur running an I7 7700k (with or without OC) paired with a RTX 2070 you will still have much gaming pleasure in 2023.
I am still running this CPU and it's a beast. I don't have any problems gaming with it
This cpu works great i have a rtx360 32gb ram and no problems with any games on this days
I have an I 7700K with an Asus 2080ti Turbo 11 GB VRAM and 32GB of RAM and it uses all of the preforms of the graphics Card still
You know if you tune ram subtimings and ring clocks on that thing to get 35-39ns latency it can get another 10-20% faster
My 7700k just won't break. I've been running it at 5.0ghz, de-lidded, Liquid metal on IC for the past 5 years. With Asus rog 1080, it just keeps giving.

If you have a 60hz monitor just lock the fps. I have a 1080p 75hz monitor that I use in 60hz mode, because the only difference I see is the power consumption and heat. I have a good PC but I don't need more than 60 or even 30 to enjoy a game.
Exactly. I only play ARMA 3 and 60 fps is all i need
I'm still running a 7700k with a 3070 - Luckily I'm running an ultrawide monitor so where other systems might bottleneck, mine forces my GPU to take more of the brunt. I feel they're a good base level pairing, obv a newer CPU would be dope. But my GPU MOST of the time is the bottleneck which I'm happy with. Fkn sucks for cyberpunk tho lol

The system has served me well for a long time now and I've no plans build a new one any time soon (upgrading isn't possible, motherboard doesn't support anything beyond a 7700k).

Currently in 2024, the i7 7700k is going around $100. I already have a whole system built around the z170, including the 6600k at 4.4ghz, 32GB ddr4, 2TB wd sn850x, wd black 8TB hdd, rx 5700 xt oc.
I'm getting cpu bottlenecks during certain games that measures around 30-50% gpu usage and 100% cpu. For example, assetto corsa competizione at 1440p high settings, I will get a rough range of 30-80fps varying inconsistently and around 30-50% gpu usage, sometimes 80%, while the cpu is pinged at 100% the whole time. It becomes a bit more more playable at medium settings.
I feel as though if I spend $100 on just the 7700k and call it a day, then overclock it, it may alleviate a significant percentage of the cpu bottleneck, though I don't know by how much, but for $100, I feel fine with that for now.
I'm trying to avoid doing anymore upgrades until I decide on a whole new system, either going with intel 13 or 14th gen i5, or probably the amd R5 7600 route. I do plan on keeping this older system as a second pc.
If someone has knowledge on this, it would help.
If you don't want to build a whole new system I would suggest the 7700k upgrade. Getting the hyperthreading and higher clocks will pair good with the 5700 xt. If you want to save and just upgrade to a new platform, I'd suggest amd 7600. It's more than enough for future upgrades and the platform should get future cpu support so you can ugrade to a later generation when you look to upgrade again.
@@tech_evolveddefinitely, what I was thinking too
But most importantly, where did you get that blue eyes?
Sure for new games its outdated cpu. But for older games that are made to work with 4 core cpus. 7700k with 4,8-5ghz must be better i believe rather than newer 6-8 core cpu with lower frequency.

Genuine question,
I bought my PC back in 2018, and other than upgrading some other components my i5-7400 is still powering this machine. Sadly, as it is prebuilt, the motherboard they chose doesn't have too much room for improvement as CPU compatibility is quite limited. The maximum I could mount is an i7-7700K (Bios upgraded to the last available), do you recommend the upgrade as a quick refresh and "cheap" alternative to rebuilding the whole PC? Mind you I use it quite equally to work and game on. I think the doubled threads could help a lot but maybe I'm wrong
Personally I would save and switch platforms. I think if you can find find a cheap am4 motherboard and pick up a first gen ryzen that would be a better quick fix than the 7700. Really just depends on the prebuilt's compatibility with mobo size. I think you should be able to pick up a b450m and an r5 1600 for around $120 ish in US while the 7700k is $150 and the 7700 is $90 (just on eBay rn). That would allow you to upgrade to 5950x or something since you do work as well.
depends on what graphics card you're using. with an 1060 there is not much difference besides mp games. with an better gpu like 3060 you definitely will see a difference.
@@steffenlze0178 I don't have a powerful card so I can imagine the bottleneck I would get with one but as I said the main use is not just gaming and now I can assure you that with 4 threads, even tho I cleaned Windows of bloatware and other stuff as much as I can, doing multiple heavy tasks is getting pretty choppy. As much as I want to do more with this computer, changing mobo is not doable since windows was installed as OEM and I would have to reinstall everything just to make it work with another mobo
@@volo34GFX i know what you talk about. before i bought my 7700k in 2020 from ebay i had an 7600k overclocked to 4.8ghz. mostly the i5 was running very well but here and there some game and many apps nowadays depending on more that 4 threads. the 7700k does everything much faster. in games i have much more stable and higher framerates. if you can get an 7700k then buy one. you definitely will be happy with it. btw, my 7700k runs together with a 4060 and i can play Cyberpunk at ultra preset without any problems.

I'm working on making them a little longer! Just take some time when scripting it all out
I have found a pc with the i7 7700k for 250£ is that a good deal?
What else is in it?
@@tech_evolvedgtx 970 but I already have a 1080. However I found a pc with i3 12100f for 200 which is cheaper and better. It also comes with a gtx 1650
I’d go with the 12100f. Leaves plenty of room for upgrade
@@tech_evolved yeah I was thinking of that seeing as it is more powerful
@@tech_evolved hey tech evolved the i3 one is not for sale but I found i5 10400f for the same price will I lose any more performance. Thanks
IPC. Not enough cores. But I'd wager the average 7700k is in a poorly configured bloated Windows installation.
Any recommendations on be bloating win 10?
@@trancebass2741 When you install WIn 10m use Home or Pro N. This won't have all of the bloat.
Hopefully the post above isn't another pro-Linux post from someone that doesn't have a Distro they prefer.
Will i7 7700 pair well with rx5600xt? How does it bottleneck?
Yes it does, i have an i7 7700 paired with a rx6700 (not the same but similar) and with very recent games my framerate in medium and ultra settings are the same
I'm just using mine as a server so It does great
I have an Asrock z270 killer mother board I think i7 7000k is the best I can put in ???
As I know it's possible to mod them to support 8/9th gens. Requires quite a bit of enthusiasm though. You could then put 8700K/9700K in there
yes! you
e wright! Thank you!!!
Lol.
Currently running everything at 4K at 60 fps with an i7 7700k and a RTX 4080 !
BUT getting a new 13th Gen DDR5 setup in 3 weeks.
the i7's frome the 6/7th gen make little to no sense to buy these days. Even if someone owns a motherboard from that era, it's better to just sell these parts and buy even a cheap am4 motherboard with a R5 1600/2600 and it would still cost less than upgrading to the i7.
In the last few days here in Australia, there were a bunch of HP Z240 workstations sold off lease with 7700K, 32GB RAM and GTX1070 GPU for AUS$500. That's a pretty nice little system for the money.
i was thinking of getting a i7-7700k with my 6700xt is the bottle neck gonna be bad i play alot of games like escape from tarkov.or mabe should i get a i7-6700k
what resolution are you playing at?
1080p@@tech_evolved
@@tokervinceit’s gonna be pretty bad. I would suggest at least an i7 9700K or higher. You’re gonna need more cores to get the most of out your 6700 xt
@@FadeHook23 yea i ended up getting a i7 12700k and so far its amazing got a good deal on it for like 170$
@@FadeHook23 but yea ty very much :)
its still a beast
Is this or i53400f vetter
I’m still gaming on a 10100. 😂
Please tell me a best motherboard for i7 7700k
ROG STRIX Z270F GAMING
Everybidy is looking this up for their 2027 imacs 🤣 this is the best processor you can run in it.
I77k 4,8 + 3060 @ 1080p CP77~55fps, Watchdogs~60fps, HarryPotter~85fps
thanks, but without settings or 1% lows this information is useless
I have it paired with a gtx 1080 ti
Marketing for fool buyers
It has 8 threads so not really a quad core bcz intel has Cpu with less threads past 7700K. Especially when 9700K (8C 8T) Perfomes very similar to a 7700K (4C 8T) and the games that take advantage of more than 4 core is most likely going to be optimized with HT in mind. You should included 9100K (or 8100K) Bcz thats a true Quad core and it is most likely wont be able to achieve a stable 60 in modern games
you mean the 8100/9100f not K. K is for unlocked cpus. I'd still say a ht enable quadcore is still a quadcore by definition as threads are just a pipeline and not another physical core
maybe I'll have to test those
@@DemonSaine By definition yes but performance in games is pretty much identical with a 8C 8T. AND 4C 4T cpus are not able to play modern games very well.
7700K is a lot slower than 9700K in games (20-30% at least). They're basically equivalents to 3600 vs 5600, slightly less productivity power than these but system latency is superior
On 4k , I watched so many of compare video , fps must less than 10% different than 13700k!
i7 7700k, el peor procesador que he tenido, un precio sobrevalorado y se calentaba demasiado, felizmente lo cambie por un ryzen 5600x en su momento.
bro. you sound weird acting like you cant game with this beast these days. I beat hogwarts legacy on an i7 4790 a year ago with a gtx 1060. Grow up. Not everyone is gaming on a 4k 165hz monitor
pretty sure I didn't say that but ok. I literally said that it was a good pickup if you bought it before but looking at the market now it didn't age well. No where did I say you couldn't game. Weird comment man
@@tech_evolved literally called it vintage and said that it has no use only to remind you of the glory days someday
@@tech_evolved i bought an i7 7700k less than a month ago for 60$ and it plays any game i want to. you saying to "avoid these all together" is whats weird.
I said avoid it because am4 offers better value and upgradability. You're taking my words out of context. Listen, if you find a good deal on a product than go for it, but in general am4 will be the better investment. I'm not sure why you feel the need to justifiy your purchase in youtube comments but nice. Good for you!
So then make a fucking video about how the am4 is good not a video about how the i7 7700k is bad. the fact that ur a amd user says it all@@tech_evolved
I got my i7-7700k for 80$ to upgrade from i5-6400 so , your wrong./ at least in the video beginning 😂
not trying to defend a youtuber here..... but he's not wrong.... while it's possible to find a 7700k for $80usd, finding one for $80 is rather rare. $80 for a 7700k....You got lucky.
But hey, about 5 years ago I scored an i5-4690k, 24GB of RAM, and a nice Maximus 7 Hero board for $60. And.... just a couple months ago my buddy bought a 5800x for $80. I've also won ebay bids on functioning hardware at unusually low prices, because no one else bid on them. It's being at the right place at the right time.
Ryzen sucks
Why?
There is nothing good from what you say in this tutorial! A processor with 50 cores or cores is given for free with the subscription, so you don't get fed up with manufacturing crap!
This isn't a tutorial... Also I'm not sure what you mean by 50 cores are given for free with subscription.
You make no sense.
overpriced garbage even as used
interesting, i run a i5-6500
most games have run fine. except for the ones i don't play. lol
