Can a 10 Year Old i7 Game in 2024?- i7-4790K
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- In this video I will be testing the legendary i7-4790K. Of course its going to be overclocked and we will be testing games like Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077, and other Triple AAA titles. Can this 10 year old CPU still game in 2024? Its going to be pretty Sicko Mode!

i7-4790K is the Muhammed Ali of processors
Agreed
solid
I will show you how great I am!
@@phj223one of my prefered cpu easy to overclock wonderfull performance
what about 3770k.and 6700k
I've been running a 4790k for the last 10 years and it has handled everything thrown at it. Very surprised at the performance I continue to get, but probably will upgrade next year. For me, it was worth investing in a premium chip like the 4790k.
Ikr! This thing is a beast. I still remember the first time I maxed out CPU by mistake because I had accidentally deactivated my GPU . But I only noticed because the cooling fan was louder No difference in FPS or quality
Back when parts were resounably priced and segmented. I'm trying to find a replacement for mine and I genuinely can't tell what to get. Seems like a 700 eur system (top of the line) back then is more of a 6k system today, and I can't figure out what would be the equivalent.
Same here, then in around 2018 I delided it, got liquid metal and placed a noctua cooler on it direct-die, the popular double 120mm fan one I forget what it's called and OC'd it to 4.7, altho later I went down to 4.6 sadly, the silicon lottery was poor on this one I think as it was crashing at certain games and I tried tweaking voltage for weeks to make it stable but either way it wasn't needed the boost from 4.4 was more noticeable than from 4.6 to 4.7. Still an awesome cpu, holds up to this day and I don't really miss anything newer since modern games are meh anyway and I don't have as much time to game as I used to.
I have a corsair 1000D with two systems in it, my main occupying the mainspace, and then an ITX system at the bottom. This ITX system is my first real "gaming pc". It has a 4790k and a 780ti. I dont see me ever letting it go, it will live on, within my over the top and absolutely wildly overzealous chassis that will stay psuedo pregnant with the first pc that started my journey 🤰
hey man, should I build a 4790k config as a secondary? like i had a config as a childhood memory but never get it bcuz i didnt have money. I have better config now but i have every parts except the mobo and cpu. Should I ? it would be paired with 2400mhz ram and rx 570
Bro, you're really good at this. Drop the gimmicks, you don't need them.
nah dude the video is sicko mode
I agree with you 100%. I was trying to watch a video about an old processor not stand up comedy that is not funny.
At multiple points I heavily considering not finishing the video. And at no point did I consider subscribing to this channel.
I’m still rocking the 4790k overclocked to 4.8. Paired with a overclocked 1080. And it handles everything I play. Only really stumbles on new world in cities
Same here!
i love my i7-4790K. its been keeping my PC running since 2015. overall I needed a workhorse computer that I could also use for gaming and this has served quite well for this.
I watched this for fun. To be honest it was an amazing video brother, I enjoyed the editing and the fact that it was fast paced. Keep it up dude !
I appreciate it!
Upgraded to a 3060 OC and a 4790k in 2022 and been rolling great ever since!
do you not experince bottlenecking?
@@R.S.O_ the cpu can be overclocked to abt 4.8 if you do it correctly so it should be fine as long as its cooled correctly and the 3060 isnt that new of a gpu anyways so it wouldnt experience that much bottlenecking
@@R.S.O_ Not with a 3060. You can handle a 6600xt as well without bottleneck. 3070/6700xt and above will start to bottleneck a bit. Not to say you won't gain frames just from a better more modern CPU. But those GPU's will run at 99% at all times usually with this CPU. The higher up models might even as well in SOME titles, not many.
@@R.S.O_ It's basically the 1080ti of CPU's
I had a 4770k until late 2022 when I jumped to a 5800x3d. That was a huge upgrade, even my old 1070 saw a 15% performance bump before I put in a 3080.
Yeah the 5800X3D is a solid upgrade. One of my favorite CPU’s.
Yea I absolutely love my 5800 X3-D paired with my RX 7900 XTX
My PC is also using an i7 4770k. Along with a 16 GB RAM and 1080 GPU. How big is the the difference between an i7 4770k and an i7 4790k? Is it that noticeable or not that much. You see last august when upgraded from an i5 4440, the only one available at the store was an i7 4770k, so i decided to buy it as i badly needed an upgrade even if my really wanted an i7 4790k instead. I am in a really tight budget so that's why i can't buy a new PC yet as of this moment.
@@Spectre1301 You could have always gotten 4790K from ebay but either way, 4790K is only around 8-13% faster so it's not that huge of a difference.
@@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU I don't live in the US so Ebay is a no go to me, and it just so happened that the seller from where i got my i7 4770k from ran out of stock of his i7 4790k as he said aside from it being rarer, it solds out quickly and i badly needed the upgrade so i decided to just settle with the i7 4770k. In hindsight i probably should've just waited until he had an 4790k available but i'm not sure when he will have another one again so i might be waiting for a long time
im still using this i7 4790k with a gigabyte z-97 MB. 32 GB of ddr 3 ram. sammy nvme 1TB 980 with a 1660 super and an evga 650 gold ps. works ok for me
Got it when I rebuilt my system in 2014/15 still using it, runs everything I've thrown at it.
I would like to upgrade but my life isn't as financially stable now as it was back then. Still, as I said, runs everything and does it well enough.
My regular 4790 paired with a 570 8gb is all I need to play my backlog of games to play for another few years at least. Even plays some newer games at smooth 60fps at 1440.
Gonna ride this until integrated graphics get stronger and cheaper.
😊 yes i mention the 570 too, its really cheap now, it was crazy expensive a few years ago
@@MrSamadolfo You mean during the cheap shortage, because when it was released it was crazy cheap compared to a 970
ABSOLUTE KING. I'm running Witcher 3 in RT and Baldur's Gate 3 on my i7-4790K.
I'm typing this message right now on my i4790k I bought early 2015. No plans to upgrade.
On a 4790K since 2014. Still love it for Photo Editing, Programming and non-AAA-Gaming. In AC Odyssey it reached its limits but with DX12 in AC Valhalla, it actually runs better than AC Origins
Great video - ggod job !
Mine was bought for BOINC work detecting Earth Killing asteroids.... In a Gigabyte Z87X OC-Force motherboard with four water-cooled GPUs.... Obviously the CPU was water cooled too !!
A Lian Li D600 case which held two huge 420 mm radiators and a load of 1Tb drives. Over-clocked to 4.4 GHz in ran 24-7 for years scoring me millions in credits on the project I ran.
It is now in my "daily driver" with a pair of 2Tb SSD's full of anime.... solely used for trawling round the internet for You-tube, shopping and emails, etc. Also have a GTX 1080 in mine with loads of fast memory.
Sadly stopped the BOINC work due to high electricity costs here in the UK.
I must admit that this was the last CPU I bought ( for around $250) - but I do fancy a "current gen" Ryzen X3D CPU in a brand new build, but as I don't play games it is hard to justify the expense.
P.S. My Amiga A2000 still works fine for spreadsheet and word-processing tasks.... purchased to get through my college work in the 1990's.... and of course 8-bit games.
My older second rig with 4790k and gtx1080 going still strong. Amazing CPU
Honestly this CPU is a perfect secondary rig CPU. If you already have one keep using it!
Not have bootneck? And you did oc for cpu?
Ultra settings are in most cases a waste of time IMO, you can't see the difference vs High/Very High. Starfield @Ultra is also brutal on most modern CPUs, the game is poorly optimised. I have the exact same setup shown here as a spare PC, apart from having a 2080, and it is amazing how well it still games. 👍
3770K + 4090 : 1080p ultra !
More seriously got a 4770S (low energy and it was a beast less wattage and heat but 90% performance of the 4770 for less bucks)
Nice vid. Just sold a i7-4790k system as an entry level PC, perfect for GTA, Fortnite and esport games. And has you said it can play many games at Low to High settings depending on the game. While doing research for my buyer I saw that its still the min recommended cpu for Helldrivers 2, and watching some youtube videos it was playing the game fine at the Low preset.
I am still gaming and using a 4790K with a 1060 GTX 6Gb. Still good for 1080p gaming with high settings, CPU is overclocked for years now on the same motherboard a Maximus Z97 motherboard still no problem except for ram that I have had to change once. But gonna downsize to a APU setup with a AMD 5700G, 4TB NVME in a InWin Chopin Max with 32Gb Ram.
Have my second pc with 4790k + gtx1060. Runs everything i play. Fh5, forza Motorsport, warzone 2. 👍
BUTT...if you use a Radeon GPU, let's say RX 6700 10Gb you get 20-30% more FPS in DX12 on old or slow CPU-s compared to NVidia. Radeon drivers use less CPU basically in DX12.
My personal experience:
i5 4690k@4.6, 16Gb DDR3 2000CL10.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider 1080p HIGH
RX 6700 10Gb = 111 FPS.
RTX 3060 12Gb = 88 FPS.
"23% difference"
Check this video out by "Hardware Unboxed":
~"Nvidia Has a Driver Overhead Problem, GeForce vs Radeon on Low-End CPUs"~
yes, but it depends on the video game and video game engine but yes ur right. I have several cards from each company.
I still have It, I just upgraded my GPU to rx 7800 xt and now i get 160+ fps 1440p in my favorite and only game i play Overwatch. Never had to change outdated because it runs great what i need.
Running the 4790K with 24GB RAM and ASUS Strix GTX1080-8GB. Good enough for the type of games I play. Eve online, MS Flight Sim, The Hunter COTW, Sniper Elite 4 & 5, Witcher and Wolfenstein series. Mostly with the graphics turned up to max or near max.
I've got the 4790k with an MSI gaming Gtx 1080 ti and it still plays well. Mainly AMS2 GTA V and BF4/5 and all play well at 1440 165hz at max or high settings, FPS in AMS2 is always over 100 on ultra although GTA v needs dialed back a bit for best results. Still a great combo it seems, will hold off on an upgrade for a while longer. !!
Same here, it's an awesome combination, recently I rather went for an oled monitor than saving for an upgrade, I feel like it's unnecessary still since modern games are mostly unoptimized garbage anyway and the better games that come out are usually smaller or indie-like and a lot more optimized. Not to mention the games hardly look any better than some of the games from around 2018-2019.. most recent thing is the ray-trashing and the issue with it is that if devs make a good regular rasterisation you can't even notice any difference in a blind test, at best you notice better reflections but paying thousands of dollars for a reflections 2.0 engine sounds a bit extreme. Most modern AAA games are just an unoptimized buggy mess with average gameplay and visuals worse than 6 year old games. I am really not planning on upgrading any time soon, I put liquid metal into my 1080 Ti and also on delided 4790k mounted direct-die and that's as much of an upgrade I was willing to make lol. If large corporations they stop sabotaging the game industry and people with passion start making big AAA games again, then I'll consider an upgrade.
@@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU Exact same combination I'm using,, But I bought Oled G8 ultra-wide ,, and I'm thinking about upgrading the GPU from 1080ti to 3070ti. You think there will be bottle-neck at 1440p
@@Ibnlaahad5319 there's bottlenecking even with 1080 Ti using 4790k, but not every game shows the same amount of bottleneck, however it's always present in some form with such setup, usually it's better having newer cpu and older gpu to avoid gpu bottleneck, as gpu is usually more important for the game performance. I don't think you would gain that much power with 3070 Ti, esp. with this cpu, 3070 Ti isn't much more powerful than the 1080 Ti, when we talk about raw processing power and rasterisation, not like new generation stuff like for example ray-trashing. According to most comparison sites its only around 30% better, which aint a lot, every time I personally upgraded gpu I had at least 100, optimally 150% higher overall performance. I think it would be better to upgrade the whole rig, you can get fairly good deals for 2-3 year old i7s and the components for it like mobos and ram, I usually see good whole PC deals of people who want to get rid of it but they can't as theres a lot of other people doing the same thing and so prices drop even lower, and I mean like local sales, used stuff, altho 2-3 years is hardly used. As when it comes to gpu, either you stick to 1080 Ti or invest in a new flagship, -80 or -90 equivalent but it's pricey as you can imagine. If you don't mind using DLSS in newer games, which is mostly required to use with high details in modern games on like 4k or in some cases even 1440p to get a good performance on these new completely unoptimized games (which is by the design as they save dev costs and are buddies with gpu manufacturers) you might as well get like 3070 Ti or 4070 but the increase in raw power as I mentioned isn't that impressive vs. 1080 ti. You get 30-50% more raw power but mostly the new shenanigans like DLSS ray-trashing and similar, as you can see I am not a fan of either of these because they were created as a solution to a by them and by game companies manufactured problems. DLSS however is still getting better and better so I do give credit there, tho if they optimized games properly you would never need dlss not even on 4k and if they invested in normal rasterization you wouldn't see much difference between ray-trashing and regular raster, you just wouldn't pass most blind tests in such a case.
im still running this with a 970 in 2024, playing steam and xbox pc gamepass.... i'd upgrade but everything still works and i dont wanna just throw it out... i saved up for months for that build back in 2014
The i7-4790K is the John Cena of processors - he's the GOAT!
I ran this cpu from 2016 all the way up until about 2022, it was a beast but I moved on for 1440p so it was definitely showing it's age then
Main system still running since 2013, running win11 with no issues and I still play many games with gtx970
4790k (OC 4,8), NZXT Kraken 240 AIO, MSI 3060 12Gb Gaming X 32GB HyperX Fury Odyssey G5 27" 1440p main monitor and 24" SyncMaster 1080p controll monitor is my guest gaming PC for mainly CS with my buddies... It never disapoints!
still running that beast CPU. 1080p no problem for assasin creed and warzone.
4790k / 1080ti here checking in. This setup continues to work hard.
i7 4790k and a GTX 1080Ti was the ultra combo, it could tackle anything.
Bang for buck, its surprising! Have had it paired with a 1070ti, a 1080ti and most recently my 3090, 32gb 2133 ram, and a 970 evo ssd via pcie-nvme2 adaptor. The cpu might be old but its still a super capable budget cpu.
Lol will see how i feel next week when i build my new pc with the 6400 ddr5 and 14900k!
I have one in my side rig with a 6650 XT. Overall good experience. It does bottleneck a little bit. Seems to be a little bit better with it overclock to 5.0 ghz delidded with liquid metal
I still use this processor and find it amazing. If you play at 4k or 1440p you will use most of the gpu instead of 50 percent like you do on 1080p and it will both run better and be smoother since the gpu will take the lead and remove most of the cpu bottleneck.
This chip is pretty awesome paired with a msi gaming 9 board. Especially the overclocking. I recommend this little beast.
running my 4790k w/ gtx 1080ti, even was playing dragon's dogma 2 @ high settings 1080p (40-60fps)
I have the regular i7-4790 paired with a 1050 Ti, I do plan on upgrading the GPU to a 3050.
I'm 100% confiden you didn't tune subtimings for that cpu, that is crucial together with a ring oc. There's 10-15% more fps in that chip. This cpu is still pretty capable, should be close to ryzen 2600
Any tips on sub timing tuning settings,
Built my system with one of these back then, upgraded graphics card once in 10ish years and it plays everything well for me. It's costly these days to upgrade everything ( GPUS are so over priced ). Bring back the Voodoo vs TNT days
With this cpu going for dirt cheap at used market its a budget baller
I've been using my 4790k since 2015, last year i upgraded my R9 390 to my 6700 XT and I've had no issues. This little CPU still kicks ass and I've had no reason to replace it yet.
Had one back in 2014 was feeling nostalgic had an old 1150 motherboard laying around bought a 60€ 1070 a 50€ I7 4790k now I have a great secondary pc
I'm still using a i7 3770K still works for the games I play 😂
Bought my 4790k on summer 2015, been using it with 290x, then 1080 and now rtx 3080.
Clocked to 4.4ghz and delided it and im using custom watercooling for cpu and gpu.
Been using 3080 for 2 years, im planning to upgrade finally to 12600 or 13600, depends on my budget.
But it is/has been handsdown great proccesor.👍
I have a 4790k in a z87-g45 motherboard, overclocked to 4.7 with a boost of 5.5. I also have 32gb ddr3 overclocked to 2800mhz, and a 3060 TI it’s still going strong.
I have the i7-4790k msi m81m-p33. All cores at 4.2ghz. Can't get more coz there is no way to change the voltage.
Wtf how. I run a 4770 at 4.6 ghz and thought that was high. How do you run 5.5?!!!! That's borderline haswell record I think.
@@tracklizard4018 it is boost 5.5. That means 1 core at short time.
Nice video, just an advice... Also put some new video card that would be adecuate to pair with the cpu that you are checking... Like put a 3080 and a 3060...
agree, i mentioned it in my post, in case a new gamer is wondering what would make sense
The answer is an astounding yes, especially when paired with a good graphics card.
I have the same 4790k still overclocked to 4.6ghz with the same RAM and Motherboard, the only thing I've upgraded over the years is the graphics card, from a GTX 780 Ti to my current RTX 2060.
i7-4790k is the ultimate beast! i have had it for a long time and it's STILL going strong. it just will NOT go down
I think its pretty impressive what this cpu achieves👍 I still got one (not my gaming rig tho) and its perfectly fine
I'm still using a 2 generations OLDER i7-2600K.
Still having NO problem playing any game I'm actually interested.
This was THE processor bro . This really was the first incredibly competent cpu . The overclocking could hit close to if not 5ghz , 4core 8 thread , badass . My first pc in 2015 had a Pentium g3258 and It had the same cores as the 4790k . What a beast . I would later upgrade it to the 4790k .
I've been running a 4820K since 2013. It's ran almost every game I've owned pretty smoothly on moderate to high settings ever since. Then I got a 1080Ti that made a real difference. It hasn't been until I tried to play Robocop Rogue City that my CPU and GPU have started to show their age. Now, I'm switching over to AMD with a 7800X3D and 7900XTX. It's gonna be awesome.
I got the same build coming tomorrow! Can't wait
Hell yeah! The 7800X3D is a beast. I’m testing it right now against the i7 14700K and so far it’s the better of the two.
My i7 4790k oc to 4.8ghz pair with rx 5500 xt using 32gb ram. still running this fossil and can run any game on my 2k monitor and enjoy the game. Can you suggest what gpu to upgrade?
I would do a 4060. There will be a bottleneck, but if you upgrade your CPU within the next two years the GPU should still be good enough to continue gaming after that.
RX 6800 seem to be the best value and performance, out performing the 4060. It also appears it would reduce the CPU bottleneck compared to Nvidia driver being CPU heavy.
i have one and its still kick some asses 👹
I got det same specs , oc and xmp, just with a rtx 3070. I run cyberpunk 2077 super smooth with FSR 3 frame gen mods, ill say the FSR 3 titels the 4790k 4,7ghz and 2400mhz ram has at least a couple of years in it
my i7 4790k with GTX 1080 8gb and 32gb rams still runs pretty good 2024 !!!!any games !!!
Im rocking my i5 4570 since 2016
Now im upgrading to i7 4790k
And use it until the next upgrades are really necessary 💪🏼
Since 2015 my 4790k i still rocking in pair with msi 1080ti, I can still run most of the games ! best cpu of its era !
the answer without watching is yes. i have one. its paired with a 1070, i still get 60fps on AAA titles on mixed high settings and depending on the game its usually a pretty even usage% between the two.
I have it right now in my system with a RTX 4060TI :D
Decapitated the heatspreader a few years ago and got 20°K less temperatures. So its working all the time in the 4,4GHz Boost mode. and really nice.
But now its time to go. I will buy a 7800X3D this week. this CPU is Kickass, and for the price right now ... steal. 😆
I still use my 4790K. Of course, I upgraded everything else besides the kit. I have PCIE4 NVME SSD (running as PCIE2), 32GB DDR3 RAM, and a 7900XT.
I use Linux as my operating system, and proton adds a small but significant overhead on the processor, but I won't upgrade my kit until next year. Maybe because I use 4K resolution, I don't feel the need just yet.
I still use Xeon E3 1270v3 (i7 4770 without i. GPU)
Plan to upgrade to Ryzen 5 5600 and give that DDR3 platform to family member, it will be enough for another 5 years to use for basic tasks.
Still a good processor, a truly warrior even in this year, obviously with a good graphic card
Nice name for a cat
a google search got me here. wondering if i try to upgrade the components on my 2014 computer, or just start a new build. i have a evga z97 motherboard, 16gb ram, i7-4790, gtx 770. i want to be able to pay the new homeworld 3 coming out.
I am sitting on 4770 + 1080 ti+24GB. All games ara running Good. VIdeo and photo rendering also well.
The best DDR3 RAM for this golden era of Hardware is a G.Skill TridentX with 2400 MHz.m with CL10 - there also are variants above 2400 MHz but those are very hard to get.
I upgraded from an i7 2600k to an i5 13600k. I upgraded my gpu over the years and it wasn't until I upgraded from the 1660 ti to the 3070 ti that I really needed to upgrade my cpu. The 3070ti was just WAAAAYYY to fast for my i7 2600k even with it overclocked to 4.7ghz. When I upgraded my machine, my maximum fps I used to get on the 2600k with the 3070ti became my 0.1% lows on my new machine and doubling my fps at least in every game. The fastest gpu these quad core cpu's can really run is like a 1080ti. Anything higher than that, and you're leaving performance on the table with an idling gpu.
I know what you mean, but its opposite for me, I upgraded my CPU and memory every few years from an FX 8320 to a Ryzen 7 1700x to now a Ryzen 9 5900x but consistently used my R9 390X for 7 years straight until last year when i finally bought a new GPU, an RX 6800 XT. I went from barely being able to play Halo Infinite with medium on 1080p @60fps to maxing it out on 1440p @90fps. My CPU went from average 15% utilization to around 60%.
It was like experiencing a whole new world
13600K with a 3070ti, ur pulling easily over 500 watts if u have everything maxed out and unlimited fps. I keep all my rigs at 60 fps, makes a big difference when I get the monthly bill from Comed 😂
@@MrSamadolfo Correct, this machine can pull well over 500w. When running OCCT cpu stress test with small dataset, it can pull upwards of 330w. However, on cinebench r23, the cpu will pull only ~220w. GPU on the other hand will pull 330w. However, I have never had a scenario where both my cpu and gpu are maxed out at the same time. Typically gaming scenarios the gpu is pulling 250-330w, while the cpu is ~50-100w.
However, I do use vsync with everything so I'm locked i at 60fps @ 4k.
Interestingly enough, my cpu can do 5.6ghz all p-core, and 4.4ghz e-core and a 4.9ghz ring cache at stock voltages.
@@chieftron 🙂 neat, yes its kinda interesting all the different watts senarios
@@MrSamadolfoMy 12700K + RTX 4070 only pulls 150w while gaming + streaming capped at 120 fps for encoding purposes. 40-45c on both cpu & gpu
Got it running at 4.7-4.8ghz at 1.30v and paired it with 3090ti
Everything running 1440p-4k ultra at 60fps
I'm still watching the video on my 10 yrs old PC with i5 4440 and GTX 950..!! Feel like a dinosaur Alive.! 😂😂😂
🙂 i have that CPU, shes actually getting retired this month and going into a box to sleep.
I still have one in my mother's house AND older i7 2600, Core 2 Quad still can play (some games like GTA V ir WOT) I instales AND built one un my office just to work AND watch videos
I'm still using it, I was looking into a new GPU to replace my 980ti (the whole machine is 10 years old) and now I'm being told I have to basically buy a new PC because the new GPU will have too many bottlenecks
How much longer do you guys think that the i7 4790k and by extension my i7-4770k can still run modern triple a games? While it is true that even my i7 4770k can still run the latest games at a decent framerate, i am worried that it's already on it's last legs time is even more running out. So i'm worried that it's going to be obsolete soon, and my problem is that i'm on a very tight budget so an upgrade is very far off. My other specs are 16 GB DDR3 RAM and an EVO 1080 btw.
You're on your last legs, and have been for awhile. I'm doing my upgrade this year and retiring my rig to the bedroom setup for "doing whatever".
Lil brother's getting mine tried to hold off OCing too much. Will try to tell him if it stops working it's not his fault.
I use one i7 4790K @4.9 ghz and a Stock RTX4060 Asus Dual Oc.
Running all games in 1080p 60 fps+++
Grafics Settings all time in High or Ultra
This processor is a monster.
AMD RADEON RX GPU put less load on the CPU so in practice will perform better on "slower" CPU :)
i work in a potato pc the processor which u have shown in the video still cost 100 dollers in india
It's $100 everywhere.
@@Baki-EGW u can get around 50 to 70 $ in us or in uk which is more cheeper
🙂 yes, any i7 flagship cpu is going to hold its value over time, its kinda like a Toyota 4Runner
News flash. It can.
im running 4770k OC to 4.4ghz paired with 16gb (4*4) 2667mhz dd3, my friend is running 4790k with 1600mhz and gets lower avg FPS and especially 0.1 and lows
funny thing i went from a AMD FX 8350, to a i7 4790k and then to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D but i loved tha 4790k but had to upgrade my CPU to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D because in 2022 it was holding my 1080Ti back alot :/
Really it's not too far off from a steam deck. I kinda wonder what games look like with a 4790k with Steam OS.
I just built a new system using this processor, to replace my well used I7-3770k system. I play everything on ultra, zero problems. Using an Asus Maximus VI Formula, RTX 3070, 1300 watt Antec psu and 32gb of G.Skill DDR3 2400. Its overclocked to 4.7, and I have gotten it as high as 4.9, but its unstable due to heat throttling, and I dont want to go liquid cooled, so I am looking for another processor that has better thermals, mine is delidded and has a Phanteks air cooler, but during benchmarks it gets way too hot, and it requires too much voltage at base clock and factory Turbo mode. Plans are also to get the new Noctua cpu cooler with the fans that have been under development for the last 8 years. What can I say, I am a turd polisher. LOL
rất tuyệt vời, đúng bài đánh giá mình cần, thanks
Bro pair it with a good gpu like 5600xt or 5700xt.....I played stanfield loved it had more then 70 fps all time..
I am now adding a 4060 TI with my 4970K
4790k 4.6ghz with 4060ti, for me Best fhd setup.
I found it bottlenecked with the 3080, so I put my 2080 back in it. Still using it after 10 years, though I retired it from being my primary game system 2 years ago.
Rocking the i7 4970k 4.6 ghz 24gb 2400 ram and rtx 2070s and im happy. Z87-c mb
Bought the 2070super for 150€ last week from a guy i know🎉
Just ocd for fun to 4.7 and seems allright 🤪
no bottleneck with a gtx 1080 ti ?
in 2015 i bought the a10 7850k for $50 and i was the happiest guy in the world xd
Yupp got one with a 1080TI... just upgraded my son and upgraded myself so this one is in a closet lol... i may convert it to a streaming PC...
Still can run Forza Horizon 5 at 1440p 60 FPS High settings.
The 4790K with 1070/1080 are legends.
I had a pc laying around with i5 4460 so I decided to grab a used i7 4790k and mess around with overclocking.
Nice, thats exactly what I would've done! What speed can you get it up to stable?
@@Techomode Haven't received the cpu yet. I'll reply once I have it on my hands. My expectation is atleast 4.7ghz.
@@Techomode I've reached 4.8 GHZ with static overclock at 1.3 volt. 78C temp peak (the cpu is delided by the previous owner).
Heh. Sure can.
I am still running my 7700k.
But ngl. I'm throttling my 4090 HORRIBLY. Ah who knows what christmas brings, perhaps I'll finally kiss this lil beast goodbye and upgrade for a ddr5 compatible setup.
i`m upgrading from a core2 quad q9550 to this cpu but then again i`m dead poor. thinking of pairing it with a rx5700xt as a 3080 is way beyond budget.
Just retired my 4790K last month. Had it paired with a 2070 Super or RX 6650 XT. Still a pretty respectable CPU after all these years. I'm "upgrading" to the 8700K...
If you have a need for a secondary build, the 4790k is a perfect cpu for that. I've also got an i5 8600k and an i7 8700k, both have been solid gaming CPUs. Definitely a good choice.
@@Techomode Thank you for the reply. After a couple of issues with a bad AIO/mounting hardware, I finally have the 8700k rig built.
Still rocking a 4790k at 4.7ghz and a 1080ti
Nice! Glad to see this CPU still being used!
4790 still smashing em out, dont tell it im buying components for a new build....
