I was looking at this like why they fuck is his cpu maxed at 4k. I have a i7 5820k overclocked to 4.3ghz, i geuss those 2 extra cores and 4 threads mean alot lol
@@black7844 oh yeah. Most games today have actually been optimized for 8 cores. So we 4 core users have our days numbered. hehehe. 6 cores still got some legs to run on, definitely.
6800xt is in my i5 4670k media center, that card turned the machine into a 4k beast. I am sure it probably has a bottleneck, but it isn't noticeable. Red Dead ran fine on Ultra 4K
I mostly play older games, and have a 4790k and am getting a 3080. I think 4k resolution will work just fine for me. I use the natural boost to 4.4 ghz. There are some new games I'm curious about Cyberpunk 2077, Baldurs Gate 3 and whenever the next sequel Elder Scrolls game to Skyrim comes out. Currently I'm on my list are Skyrim, witcher 3, Divinity original sin 1&2, Gothic 3, Risen 2, Dragon Age etc. 3080 @ 4k is probably overskill for most of these old games. I'll see how I do later with the newer games as they come. Eventually in ~4-6 years I'll upgrade. DDR5 ram is coming out, so if I have to get a new CPU, mobo etc, I'll wait until DDR5 is more of a thing than it is now (just released this July.)
@@KatimaGaming Yeah, running daily at 4.8 for 100% stability, cause with 4.9 once in a while i have some crashes, so to avoid headaches of work not saved or sth, i daily use it in 48 and when heavy gaming i use it in 49 :) PD: Something to add is that oc is needed to play newer games paired with a good graphics card, because with stock settings bottleneck is noticeable.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Just trying to make my vids as useful as possible. The tech category is very competitive and saturated afterall on RUclips. So we smaller channels just gotta do what we can hehehe. Cheers!
Amazing video thank you. My Core i7 4790k died after 9.5 years of service now i'll buy another brand new Core i7 4790k. I'm not planning to upgrade anytime soon. I use a gtx 1080 Ti and i'll upgrade to a RTX 5080 when it releases and i will use my new Core i7 4790k for about 4 or 5 more years. I subbed. :)
Nice job here. It's almost like many youtubers conspire to hide this information. I've seen some actually get mad when it's brought up that many old cpu's can push 4k almost as well as the fastest cpu's because the gpu is mostly doing all the work.
I love how this is suddenly the thing.... Anyone who regularly works with 4790/4790K chips could have told you this would be the outcome... it was one hell of a chip then, and one hell of a chip now
I had this question too and bought a 3090 first, and paired with my 4770k system (all core 4.7ghz). Coming from a GTX1070, It made 4K60 gaming a reality for basically every game! Absolutely worth it. It's not ideal, but you'll be happy just upgrading to a 3080 for now with older 4C/8T systems IF you're playing at 4K or with RTX ON / DLSS. Next gen games will raise the baseline very soon, so the quadcores are on their last legs for high end gaming. I moved the 3090 to a new Ryzen 5000 system and yes, you'll get somewhat higher frames across the board. And it's better for 4K120 in older games. The difference isn't all that noticeable in absolute frame rates tho. If you're strictly gaming, upgrade that GPU!
Wow thank you so much for sharing your experience. And yes you are very right, if gaming is just what you are after then GPU upgrade should always come first. Quadcores are definitely on their last legs. 2021 might be the straw that breaks the camels back for us. hehehe
Actually going 4K reduces the bottleneck since you're going higher GPU usage over CPU usage In fact, if you can pull 100% of your GPU, an i3 will perform the same as an i9 Obviously if both can take 100% of the GPU, the i7-4790K can't pull 100% of a 3080, but it does can pull a 3060 to the max So yeah, if your CPU is weak ask more of the GPU so you can relieve that stress on the CPU In fact, I have a GTX 1660 Super and in games like Warzone I get barely like 5 FPS less than more modern CPUs on the same card
Was thinking about upgrading my 4790k the other day because Cyberpunk was chugging my rig and bottlenecking my cpu to 100% while the Gpu was less than 10%(at low settings with a 1660 gpu) Almost spent £2000 on a full new rig as I would need a new psu, motherboard and a bunch of other things to install a better cpu. After looking into this I managed to clear some of the bottleneck by increasing the game settings and even though I can no longer hit 60fps at all, the game doesn't stutter down to 20fps every couple of seconds. Really great video, saved me a lot of money dude but I probably will upgrade soon or get a RTX 3070
Thank you for sharing your story. Yeah we are in a tough spot as old CPU owners. Next upgrade would be a whole new PC. So starting with the GPU and build around it might extend the need to upgrade. Glad I could help!
@@KatimaGaming yeah cheers man, I almost held off even considering the thirty series because a lot of my friends said it would just bottleneck all the time. Well I consider them proved wrong, got yourself a sub my dude keep it up 😊
@@simplecat8736 Wow thank you for the sub! And don't worry about the CPU bottleneck as long as you're playing at 1440p or 4K 16:9 you're gonna be ok.

@@stephenb9510 nope, I ended up doing the upgrade to a new pc with a rtx 3060. Cpu in it now is like i7-10700k or something that sounds like that. Was definitely needed though
4k did not work out so well for me and my 4790k. My old 1650 GPU just wasn't capable of it because it was pinned at 90% while the CPU sat in the 50-60% range the entire test. I saw no notable performance increase by upping the resolution on Cyberpunk 2077. Going from 30fps at 1080p to just 1440 dropped my fps into the mid 20s, in fact the only increase came from dropping to 900p to get close to 60fps with some graphics config I found on youtube. I'm considering a 3070 "equivalent" in the future, but I'm wondering if I don't need to a whole new machine with it.
Love the drama part. I have the same “ancient “ cpu as yours. Am planning to get a new gpu once AMD reveals its new gpu. It’s nice to know that my old cpu can still work with new gpu at 4K:)
yep, planning the same for a HDMI 2.1 OLED TV. All the CPU must be capable of is at least frametimes fitting the 40-120 fps Gsync range, better 60fps+, im more than happy if i can use 4K properly with 70-100 fps. At least the limitations of 1440p/120 or 4K/60 are gone then, every fps more than 60 in 4K makes me happy then already. I still dont know if the 3070 or 3080 would be the better choice then or even waiting for a RTX30 refresh/Ti variants?
Turn on MCE / all core turbo in the BIOS for the 4790K, and it will boost to 4.4 @all core. No heat issues, using an inexpensive 120mm tower cooler (like a Hyper 212 EVO). 10% extra performance. Use DDR3-2400 MHz if possible. Also a noticable improvement from the "stock" 1600 MHz memory.
Hmm, i'll need to look through your other videos, With the CPU temps you have, you should OC to 4.7 and if you've not touched your XMP profile you should crank that up to like 2400. The 4970k really benifits from the higher RAM speeds. Your performance increase should be pretty noticeable. 10-20% performance still left on the table for free. I've had mine OCed for years and its still nowhere near end of life.
Wohooo! Another great video. My Gigabyte Gaming OC arrived yesterday, so excited to get it running this weekend. Waiting to see what the Zen 3 announcement has in store tomorrow.
@@KatimaGaming Super excited. If they announce a 16-core that is replacing the 3950x, I'll be waiting for that one. If nothing with 16-cores is announced, I'll hopefully be able to find a discounted 3950x and then I can get to work.
@@bronsoncjmj Not as good as I hoped it would be honestly. LOL. The games look amazing, but you will really feel that input lag, even if the TV claims to have a gaming mode. In single-player games it's tolerable. But if you're playing competitively in multiplayer, you can't help but blame it on the lag when you're sucking. LOL. So I would recommend it if you're just showing stuff off to guests. But other than that, I can see now why monitors are still prefered for PC gaming over TVs.
@@bronsoncjmj I"m just happy they are still sticking with the AM4 motherboards. Perhaps end of this year I will finally make the jump from team blue to team red. hehehe
Awesome video.... I’m 56 and have four i7-4790k Z97 machines mainly for art work but tell the kids (30 and under) they can still game on a i7-4790k.... now they can Game in 4K lol
I had to skip a whole 60 seconds....you know which minute I’m talking about..... Additionally, bro; Brochacho, brotato chip, Han Brolo......on your next video....duct tape your hands to the table. Please. Lol. That all being said....I love how happy you are. I aim to be as happy as you one day, good sir! Keep up the interesting benchmarks!

I do put time stamps in my videos, so just navigate to the good parts if you want. Got more benchmark videos on my list. feel free to checkem out. Thanks again!
This gives me hope. I'm going to get a 3080 (have a 1080) now, 2022. But my cpu is a i7-4770 (about 7% slower than yours). It works still fine. I'm using it mainly for VR and now with the new Pico 4 the resolution of that headset is much higher than that of the Quest 2. The way you describe it, I should be fine! I was thinking that this "bottleneck" would do me no good. But as my headset get's 4K signals, I guess that's should be perfect. Thanks for your testing....
I'm curious how that turned out for you. I have a 4790k, but since mine is a refurbed Business PC I have limitations on power and gpu options. I think I'm pretty much at the limit of what my current config can do although recently I've seen a potential upgrade path but I'm still weighing my options.
@@TheRealAlpha2 Turned out my performance was better, but not what I hoped for. Assembled a new PC with a DDR4 gaming motherboard, Intel i5 12th gen, 16gb DDR4 RAM and the 3080. Perfect combination. Now it is a big difference and most games can play with stunning graphics. And no stuttering.
I just finally retired my 4770k last week to build a new rig with an i9 10850k, Could not get a new video card though so the old gtx1080 will have to carry me until I can get a new gpu!
i'm using 1080p monitor and i will buy a moitor LG 4K in next month, my specs is i7 4790, rtx 3060, this video is exactly i am looking for. thank you so much. so just go with it becuz cpu can handle it
Thanks for the video mate I have the 4790k and a 2080 so,the bottleneck won't be so bad but I will be upgrading the cpu/board/ram to an i512600k along with a Z690 and DDR5 ram I'll probably keep the 2080 for another 6 month's then upgrade to,a 4070ti if the prices stay under £1000. Cheers

im kinda wondering why your cpu doesnt boost up to 4.4Ghz and stays at 4? so in fact my all core OCed to 4.7Ghz 4790k will probably be a decent 4k machine cause im also wanting to change to the 3080 or 3080Ti from the 1080Ti. Thank you for the video was really helpful :)
You're right. I locked my CPU to 4GHz in this vid so that people with older CPUs can use it as a reference point. I did 4.7 in my newer videos. Go checkem out!
Some people in the comments say even 4000 series will do fine on 4790k. 4000 series on 4790k wont be an issue but the main issue will be pcie 3 port that we have on the older motherboards back then, sure 4000 with newer pcie will be backward compatible but pcie3 only supports bandwidth upto 16gbps and 3080s bandwidth is 19gbps and i guess 4000 will be 30+ gbps or something, so its the pcie 3 port which will act as bottleneck so unless yall have pcie4/5 port GPU won't work as fast as specified ✌️
Hi from brasil. Nice video. i have a 4930k with a rtx2070 super, but im 1080. Runs very good. A hint. Your tv stand is mounted wrong. Switch sides. Hugs.
i realy enjoyed this video and subscribed :D my question i have i7 5820k oc @4.4ghz with Gtx 980 im planning to upgrade to play on a 1440p @ 144hz . should i keep the cpu or upgrade both ? or w8 for DDR5 ram to come out next year ?
I have the 5820K oc to 4.3ghz FE 1080 I only play on 1080p/144 hz monitor and I feel its limits in games Im holding off to upgrade everything. Our cpus still bottleneck in alot of games. Going to skip the 3000 series an get 4k setup later.
@@JavierPerez-sc2jk Thanks again! The Benchmarks I did for 1440p and 4K were both on a stock i7 4790k. So it should be similar to a non K. Glad you liked the video. Best of luck from Thailand!
the "AMD 5K" will be interesting, true.... but i think this platform will be only interesting if a Zen-System is already existing as an Upgrade or there is an absolute need of a new PC. If you are on a 4790 non-K, i can understand a upgrade easily, probably even a overclocked 3770k would be faster. But with my 4790k at 4,8 GHz i dont feel that i need a new CPU - only with Battlefield 5 i had CPU bottlenecks because its pretty optimized for 6C/12T+ while our "old" Intels are 4C/8T. I have my hopes still in DDR5 systems, so probably something like Ryzen 6000+, Intel 13 gen+, THIS will be a dramatic upgrade from a good, old 4790k :) (probably similar to GTX 1070 vs RTX 3080(S/Ti)^^)
I had two 4790k's. One could OC to 4.7ghz at 1.31v, stress test stable, and the other could hit 4.9ghz at 1.3v stress test stable. The latter could hit 5ghz and run benchmarks but it badly needed to be delidded. My only regret is I gave the former to my dad and sold the latter in a system..... but my Dad's system isn't overclocked. I've seen other videos of people overclocking the 5960x and it holds up quite well. The secret is overclocking the Uncore along with everything else.
Thanks! Yeah eventually you are gonna need to make the leap if you wanna fully benefit the power of that 3090. You could side grade to a 4790k but the bump would be really small. Good luck!
Hi! Yes there is. In this video, I locked my CPU cores to 4.0ghz which simulates exactly what a 4790 non K can do. In my newer vidoes you will see I overclocked the 4790k and got better performance. The 4790 non K can only boost up to 4.0 Ghz while the K version can go up to 4.4Ghz. And if you can overclock is safely to as high as 5ghz if you know what you're doing. So yeah big difference. Hope this helps!
4k probably runs better because most games are designed to run at a 16:9 aspect ratio. While the pixel density of 3440x1440 is lower, many game engines are (probably) not designed to scale performance-wise in a linear manner when extending your viewing angle-- therefore the scenery on the left and right side of the screen draws more objects/entities like foliage and NPCs, more shadow, more lighting, etc. and thus having a heavier impact on graphical performance.
Thank you for than analysis. You are right! Not every game scale well at 12:9. this is perhaps more on the CPU issuing instructions to the GPU to extend the field of view by maybe 20-25%. But I'm noticing a trend that more and more people are leaning towards ultrawide for gaming and productivity and is becoming less of a niche market. I sure hope in a few years time it will be more of the norm, same with how we all thought 1080p was overkill back then and its minimum today. Hehehe. Thank you for your insight!
@@DoubleYouPee1 Good on you! But perhaps we also have to consider that while I was doing this benchmark shadow play was on and I locked the cpu to only 4.0 ghz. So that could play a part. It would also depend on the video game. Todays games however I do believe there is more love for ultrawide than before. Metal Gear Phantom Pain didnt have that option back then LOL

@@KatimaGaming nah, problem is with 3080 architecture. It is very good at 4k and has shit performance (for CU number) in lower resolutions.
I think the 3060ti would pair better with the 4790k and less bottleneck. But I dont think it will perform well in 4K without bringing down the graphics. 1440p 16:9 perhaps is the sweet spot.
This is legit my combo now, and I game just fine at 4k but I also don't run the MOST graphically intense games either. 4k Overwatch and 4k Watch Dogs Legion are two entirely different beasts.
4790k on 4k should have a bottleneck on the gpu side not on the cpu side, 4790k on 8k would be like running laps around the 3080. 4790k would say (would you hurry up already) hell a Pentium would be like come on 8k im still waiting.
Your testing methodology is wrong. Your not comparing your framerates to any other cpu. Unfortunately i have a 4790k and 9900k and have been moving my 3080 ftw3 ultra to both systems and see a huge performance hit even at 1440p and 4k. 4790k won't go above 80fps even when oc'd to all core 4.5 with c state off. 9900k same settings pushes upwards of 120fps same game. The hit is even more pronounced when you add a 3090 to the mix. I get lower fps with a 3090 than 3080 on a 4790k.
thank you for your input! wow you really have all the firepower there. 3090 is doing worst with the 4790k? wierd. I did another video bechmarking at 4.7ghz with the 3080. Go check it out. Its GPU bottleneck this time. Sorry about my methodogy. I can only afford one PC.

Please OC this to 4.7 or more if possible and show us 4K results....maybe we can get a better info if it's worth OC this Devil's Canyon .... I think nobody in the world uses 4790K at 4 Ghz :)
you are very correct! I locked it at 4.0 cuz I wanted people with slower CPUs to have an easier reference point. In my newer vids I did the same bench at 4.7. Go checkem out. Cheers!
phew! thanks for the suggestion. If the results are surprising ill make a vid of it. But if its as expected, maybe ill just put it as a side note for my next vid. Keep you posted!
Thank you for all your hard work. As a 4790k user @4.7ghz , mainly flight simulators DCS etc I’m wondering about VR performance, essentially running VR is 4K and above depending on headset. So rushing into a CPU upgrade is pretty pointless, it’s GPU I’m really needing , just can’t get a 3080 at present I have a 1070. Your thoughts ? I’m constantly thinking about a 10850k upgrade whilst I wait for a GPU, but rushing into something that’s not needed seems silly. Normally I’ll none VR a sim at 1440p with the highest graphics settings I can.
Hi! Thank you for commenting and thank you for the kind words! I'm afraid 4K might only be doable on the 3080 on ultra settings. Based on my newer vids, 3080 already bottlenecks at AAA games on 4K ultra. 3070 might do it as well, but with just a bit of compromise with Ray Tracing off. As for your CPU, you might want to hold off as 4790k is already the fastest on your Motherboard. Meaning any CPU upgrade will require a new MoBo and DDR4 RAM. Just as pricey. So a new GPU is really a good stop point before overhauling your entire setup. Snatching a second hand 2080ti on the cheap might be just as good. Keep us posted on your plans!
@@KatimaGaming Thank you sir for taking the time to comment. Basically the 4790k @4.7 is still fastest enough to feed a 3080 in 4k as the 3080 is still the bottle neck ?
@@TAP1992 yes in some triple AAA games like red dead and cyberpunk all ultra with raytracing the GPU will bottleneck. So yes the 3080 is a 4K GPU... but just barely, especially on 4790k. Either way, it is still cheaper to buy a gpu and make it a temp stop before overhauling your cpu and mobo. Hope this helps! Email me if you have more questions!
Im playing on a Asus sabertooth z97 mark 1 + i7 4790k + msi aero 1070itx and i play games at 2560 x 1080 and m playing on 75 fps constant. Soon ill make it SLI wich yes is still relevant.
Why is your 4790K only running at 4GHz? Mine is hitting 4.4GHz all day and it’s not overclocked. Check your bios because your not getting the full preference your chip has to offer. Maybe fix your 4790k and the make a new video showing the performance boost.
Thanks for noticing! In this video I puposely underclocked it to show more bottleneck. This is to help shownothers with slower CPUs how it pairs with a 3080. I just forgot to add the explanation, sorry. Hehehe. I do have vidoes where I did 4.4, 4.6 and 4.7 as well on tje same games. Check them out!
why would you test this CPU without using at least the standar turbo mode that is 4.2 ghz.. plus, this Cpu does in air just ok at 4.5ghz and about 1.2 Volts...
Hi. Good question! Yeah I underclocked the cpu to give others with slower CPUs a better example on the bottleneck. I do have videos where I benched it at 4.5 4.6 and 4.7. Check them out. They are all there. Cheers!
Hahahaha I love your comparison example it is funny. But yes. I do think the same way as you do. Some people just overestimate and underestimate the wrong parts in their pc... It is astonishing how low even the elder i7 models are sometimes in some games. I think the most important thing is that a game is well developed because otherwise your hardware simply does not matter at all. There were multiple very great examples like Cyberpunk, Eldenring, and nowadays Bugwarts LAGacy how I temporarily call it. I like the game but it does seem to become more and more "common" that some games come out being not really "ready" and they come with a lot of performance issues and bugs...
I gave my granson my old PC with a 4690k cpu and 24 gb ram, and then bought him a 3070, and it works great. 1080 gaming is a breeze, and if you up the resolution, then the load goes onto the graphics card. The only issue he will have is that there is no TPM on the motherboard, and though i got windows 11 installed on that pc, he cant play Fifa 23 as the anti cheat program will not run due to the hardware restricitions. It works fine on windows 10, but that will be going out of support soon, so we will have to upgrade his motherboard at the very least in the next year or so,, as i cannot find a compatible TPM for his Asus CSB motherboard.

I love how this is suddenly the thing.... Anyone who regularly works with 4790/4790K chips could have told you this would be the outcome... it was one hell of a chip then, and one hell of a chip now
Preach brother preach!
I had this question too and bought a 3090 first, and paired with my 4770k system (all core 4.7ghz). Coming from a GTX1070, It made 4K60 gaming a reality for basically every game! Absolutely worth it. It's not ideal, but you'll be happy just upgrading to a 3080 for now with older 4C/8T systems IF you're playing at 4K or with RTX ON / DLSS.
Next gen games will raise the baseline very soon, so the quadcores are on their last legs for high end gaming.
I moved the 3090 to a new Ryzen 5000 system and yes, you'll get somewhat higher frames across the board. And it's better for 4K120 in older games. The difference isn't all that noticeable in absolute frame rates tho. If you're strictly gaming, upgrade that GPU!
Wow thank you so much for sharing your experience. And yes you are very right, if gaming is just what you are after then GPU upgrade should always come first. Quadcores are definitely on their last legs. 2021 might be the straw that breaks the camels back for us. hehehe
My i3 12100 laughs at you and your opinion about 4 core processors
@@IngvarrKahn two years later... will pair very nicely with a cheap ex-mining 3080 :)
Wow, just like me, 4770k with rtx 3090…. Waiting to buy a new cpu

Wow those are some really kind words. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Will keep doing my best! Cheers!
thats the content i dont regret to loose my internet
Loose? Your internet has some slack in it? LOL
Fun and informative video. Liked the characters you played too, Man. I'm going to subscribe and see what you do in future.
wow thank you! Got more vids with those characters. hehehe. Will do my best!!!
This is the setup I am going to have
great! im sure you will do fine with it!
@HOOVERS if you are thinking of overclocking, yes 750 is the sweet spot. anything less is uncomfortable honestly. hope this helps!
@HOOVERS depends on the model of 3080 but most are ok at 750w.
Actually going 4K reduces the bottleneck since you're going higher GPU usage over CPU usage
In fact, if you can pull 100% of your GPU, an i3 will perform the same as an i9
Obviously if both can take 100% of the GPU, the i7-4790K can't pull 100% of a 3080, but it does can pull a 3060 to the max
So yeah, if your CPU is weak ask more of the GPU so you can relieve that stress on the CPU
In fact, I have a GTX 1660 Super and in games like Warzone I get barely like 5 FPS less than more modern CPUs on the same card
Was thinking about upgrading my 4790k the other day because Cyberpunk was chugging my rig and bottlenecking my cpu to 100% while the Gpu was less than 10%(at low settings with a 1660 gpu)
Almost spent £2000 on a full new rig as I would need a new psu, motherboard and a bunch of other things to install a better cpu. After looking into this I managed to clear some of the bottleneck by increasing the game settings and even though I can no longer hit 60fps at all, the game doesn't stutter down to 20fps every couple of seconds. Really great video, saved me a lot of money dude but I probably will upgrade soon or get a RTX 3070
Thank you for sharing your story. Yeah we are in a tough spot as old CPU owners. Next upgrade would be a whole new PC. So starting with the GPU and build around it might extend the need to upgrade. Glad I could help!
@@KatimaGaming yeah cheers man, I almost held off even considering the thirty series because a lot of my friends said it would just bottleneck all the time. Well I consider them proved wrong, got yourself a sub my dude keep it up 😊
@@simplecat8736 Wow thank you for the sub! And don't worry about the CPU bottleneck as long as you're playing at 1440p or 4K 16:9 you're gonna be ok. Check out the link below I made a video on it and it might help you feel better. Cheers and hello from Thailand!

Still running the same cpu?
@@stephenb9510 nope, I ended up doing the upgrade to a new pc with a rtx 3060. Cpu in it now is like i7-10700k or something that sounds like that. Was definitely needed though
4k did not work out so well for me and my 4790k. My old 1650 GPU just wasn't capable of it because it was pinned at 90% while the CPU sat in the 50-60% range the entire test. I saw no notable performance increase by upping the resolution on Cyberpunk 2077. Going from 30fps at 1080p to just 1440 dropped my fps into the mid 20s, in fact the only increase came from dropping to 900p to get close to 60fps with some graphics config I found on youtube. I'm considering a 3070 "equivalent" in the future, but I'm wondering if I don't need to a whole new machine with it.
i still use i5 3470
respect man. hang in there!
Love the drama part. I have the same “ancient “ cpu as yours. Am planning to get a new gpu once AMD reveals its new gpu. It’s nice to know that my old cpu can still work with new gpu at 4K:)
And that was just running locked at 4.0 ghz. If you push it to 4.5 it would run just as fine as any with the 3080
yep, planning the same for a HDMI 2.1 OLED TV. All the CPU must be capable of is at least frametimes fitting the 40-120 fps Gsync range, better 60fps+, im more than happy if i can use 4K properly with 70-100 fps. At least the limitations of 1440p/120 or 4K/60 are gone then, every fps more than 60 in 4K makes me happy then already. I still dont know if the 3070 or 3080 would be the better choice then or even waiting for a RTX30 refresh/Ti variants?
I still have a 4790k, love this video
Thank you! Long live the 4790k!

Pair it with 2400 mhz DDR3 rams and get better results
Every time someone made a 4790k overclock 8GHZ joke, me who know nothing about overclock: laugh nervously
Turn on MCE / all core turbo in the BIOS for the 4790K, and it will boost to 4.4 @all core. No heat issues, using an inexpensive 120mm tower cooler (like a Hyper 212 EVO). 10% extra performance. Use DDR3-2400 MHz if possible. Also a noticable improvement from the "stock" 1600 MHz memory.
The best intro , you are one Crack Bro 👊😎
Hmm, i'll need to look through your other videos, With the CPU temps you have, you should OC to 4.7 and if you've not touched your XMP profile you should crank that up to like 2400. The 4970k really benifits from the higher RAM speeds. Your performance increase should be pretty noticeable. 10-20% performance still left on the table for free. I've had mine OCed for years and its still nowhere near end of life.
Wohooo! Another great video. My Gigabyte Gaming OC arrived yesterday, so excited to get it running this weekend. Waiting to see what the Zen 3 announcement has in store tomorrow.
Zen 3 reveal is tomorrow! I don't think I have enough kidneys left to spare! LOL. Glad to hear your 3080 is here! Great times indeed!
@@KatimaGaming Super excited. If they announce a 16-core that is replacing the 3950x, I'll be waiting for that one. If nothing with 16-cores is announced, I'll hopefully be able to find a discounted 3950x and then I can get to work.
@@KatimaGaming How do you find gaming on the 4K tv compared to a monitor?
@@bronsoncjmj Not as good as I hoped it would be honestly. LOL. The games look amazing, but you will really feel that input lag, even if the TV claims to have a gaming mode. In single-player games it's tolerable. But if you're playing competitively in multiplayer, you can't help but blame it on the lag when you're sucking. LOL. So I would recommend it if you're just showing stuff off to guests. But other than that, I can see now why monitors are still prefered for PC gaming over TVs.
@@bronsoncjmj I"m just happy they are still sticking with the AM4 motherboards. Perhaps end of this year I will finally make the jump from team blue to team red. hehehe

This gives me hope. I'm going to get a 3080 (have a 1080) now, 2022. But my cpu is a i7-4770 (about 7% slower than yours). It works still fine. I'm using it mainly for VR and now with the new Pico 4 the resolution of that headset is much higher than that of the Quest 2. The way you describe it, I should be fine! I was thinking that this "bottleneck" would do me no good. But as my headset get's 4K signals, I guess that's should be perfect. Thanks for your testing....
I'm curious how that turned out for you. I have a 4790k, but since mine is a refurbed Business PC I have limitations on power and gpu options. I think I'm pretty much at the limit of what my current config can do although recently I've seen a potential upgrade path but I'm still weighing my options.
@@TheRealAlpha2 Turned out my performance was better, but not what I hoped for. Assembled a new PC with a DDR4 gaming motherboard, Intel i5 12th gen, 16gb DDR4 RAM and the 3080. Perfect combination. Now it is a big difference and most games can play with stunning graphics. And no stuttering.

Nice and funny man. Good job!
4790k + 980Ti here. Still kicking
Omg that was my original set up. Good on you mate
Some people in the comments say even 4000 series will do fine on 4790k. 4000 series on 4790k wont be an issue but the main issue will be pcie 3 port that we have on the older motherboards back then, sure 4000 with newer pcie will be backward compatible but pcie3 only supports bandwidth upto 16gbps and 3080s bandwidth is 19gbps and i guess 4000 will be 30+ gbps or something, so its the pcie 3 port which will act as bottleneck so unless yall have pcie4/5 port GPU won't work as fast as specified ✌️
Forgot to mention.. Great video brother thanks ❤️🙌
4930k + 1080 Ti still running strong...will get something new when the 5090 Ti comes out along with a good Ryzen whatever of that time.

I have a 4790K OC to 4.7Ghz and a 1080Ti, DOOM Eternal I can get 144fps. I'm sure you can get some decent frames from this CPU.
I have the 5820K oc to 4.3ghz FE 1080 I only play on 1080p/144 hz monitor and I feel its limits in games Im holding off to upgrade everything. Our cpus still bottleneck in alot of games. Going to skip the 3000 series an get 4k setup later.

@@JavierPerez-sc2jk Thanks again! The Benchmarks I did for 1440p and 4K were both on a stock i7 4790k. So it should be similar to a non K. Glad you liked the video. Best of luck from Thailand!
Can confirm that a 4790 and 3080 works fine, interested to see what a modern processor would boost it to. I'm holding out for the amd 5k
AMD zen 3 is totally a game changer! The future sure is scary!
the "AMD 5K" will be interesting, true.... but i think this platform will be only interesting if a Zen-System is already existing as an Upgrade or there is an absolute need of a new PC.
If you are on a 4790 non-K, i can understand a upgrade easily, probably even a overclocked 3770k would be faster. But with my 4790k at 4,8 GHz i dont feel that i need a new CPU - only with Battlefield 5 i had CPU bottlenecks because its pretty optimized for 6C/12T+ while our "old" Intels are 4C/8T.
I have my hopes still in DDR5 systems, so probably something like Ryzen 6000+, Intel 13 gen+, THIS will be a dramatic upgrade from a good, old 4790k :) (probably similar to GTX 1070 vs RTX 3080(S/Ti)^^)
Still running the same cpu?
You deserve more subs.
Thanks! Doing my best hehehe
Thank you so much I needed to see this video
glad I could help! I have newer vids that you might find helpful as well!
I had two 4790k's. One could OC to 4.7ghz at 1.31v, stress test stable, and the other could hit 4.9ghz at 1.3v stress test stable. The latter could hit 5ghz and run benchmarks but it badly needed to be delidded. My only regret is I gave the former to my dad and sold the latter in a system..... but my Dad's system isn't overclocked.
I've seen other videos of people overclocking the 5960x and it holds up quite well. The secret is overclocking the Uncore along with everything else.
Very good video 4th gen intel had good bang for the buck
Niceeee! I’m rocking a 4770k with a rtx 3090 😂… I hope I can upgrade my cpu as soon as possible… but ddr5 is too expensive… waiting 😅
Thanks! Yeah eventually you are gonna need to make the leap if you wanna fully benefit the power of that 3090. You could side grade to a 4790k but the bump would be really small. Good luck!
@@KatimaGaming many thanks!!!
the vram used on the 4k test was higher, which is probably because the GPU was forced to use more power?
That is correct! 4K puts more stress on the GPU giving the CPU more time to catch up
Lol... really at 4K the GPU does all the work... my 3080ti runs great at 4K with my 4790k.... case closed
Hello,is there a big difference in performance between the i7-4790k and the i7- 4790?because I have a no K version.
Hi! Yes there is. In this video, I locked my CPU cores to 4.0ghz which simulates exactly what a 4790 non K can do. In my newer vidoes you will see I overclocked the 4790k and got better performance. The 4790 non K can only boost up to 4.0 Ghz while the K version can go up to 4.4Ghz. And if you can overclock is safely to as high as 5ghz if you know what you're doing. So yeah big difference. Hope this helps!
4k probably runs better because most games are designed to run at a 16:9 aspect ratio.
While the pixel density of 3440x1440 is lower, many game engines are (probably) not designed to scale performance-wise in a linear manner when extending your viewing angle-- therefore the scenery on the left and right side of the screen draws more objects/entities like foliage and NPCs, more shadow, more lighting, etc. and thus having a heavier impact on graphical performance.
Thank you for than analysis. You are right! Not every game scale well at 12:9. this is perhaps more on the CPU issuing instructions to the GPU to extend the field of view by maybe 20-25%. But I'm noticing a trend that more and more people are leaning towards ultrawide for gaming and productivity and is becoming less of a niche market. I sure hope in a few years time it will be more of the norm, same with how we all thought 1080p was overkill back then and its minimum today. Hehehe. Thank you for your insight!
Not true. I have the same CPU and 3440x1440 resolution and I get 75+ fps on a much weaker GPU.
@@DoubleYouPee1 Good on you! But perhaps we also have to consider that while I was doing this benchmark shadow play was on and I locked the cpu to only 4.0 ghz. So that could play a part. It would also depend on the video game. Todays games however I do believe there is more love for ultrawide than before. Metal Gear Phantom Pain didnt have that option back then LOL
@@KatimaGaming nah, problem is with 3080 architecture. It is very good at 4k and has shit performance (for CU number) in lower resolutions.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDEEEEEEEEEEEE i broke my chair laughing :D hahahahahhaha
Glad you liked it! hehehe
This is AWESOME
Thank you!
Would the 3060ti be similar?
I think the 3060ti would pair better with the 4790k and less bottleneck. But I dont think it will perform well in 4K without bringing down the graphics. 1440p 16:9 perhaps is the sweet spot.
I still own a 4790k in 2023 and getting a rx 6600 in two days xd
Lmao this cpu purchase was the best future proofing decision i ever made lmao :D

sorry tried to keep it as simple as possible.
@@KatimaGaming help good me it did
This is legit my combo now, and I game just fine at 4k but I also don't run the MOST graphically intense games either. 4k Overwatch and 4k Watch Dogs Legion are two entirely different beasts.
yeah if you drop the settings just a tad bit you can do 4K no problem. Happy gaming man!
Great video man :)
Thank you!
4790k on 4k should have a bottleneck on the gpu side not on the cpu side, 4790k on 8k would be like running laps around the 3080. 4790k would say (would you hurry up already) hell a Pentium would be like come on 8k im still waiting.
LOL. Good one.
Great video!
Thank you!
Your testing methodology is wrong. Your not comparing your framerates to any other cpu. Unfortunately i have a 4790k and 9900k and have been moving my 3080 ftw3 ultra to both systems and see a huge performance hit even at 1440p and 4k. 4790k won't go above 80fps even when oc'd to all core 4.5 with c state off. 9900k same settings pushes upwards of 120fps same game. The hit is even more pronounced when you add a 3090 to the mix. I get lower fps with a 3090 than 3080 on a 4790k.
thank you for your input! wow you really have all the firepower there. 3090 is doing worst with the 4790k? wierd. I did another video bechmarking at 4.7ghz with the 3080. Go check it out. Its GPU bottleneck this time. Sorry about my methodogy. I can only afford one PC.
@@KatimaGaming @KatimaGaming your video caught my attention because i was youtubing it to see if anyone else was having a similar issue. Keep up the channel though. I like your presentation and if you dont give up it should go somewhere. Have you reached out to intel to see if they would sponser some newer model cpus/mobo for bench testing?
@@whackywheels5920 thank you for your kind words! Im just doing this for fun actually. Im a media teacher.

Im one foot in AMD's door right now. hehehe. Cheers!
Please OC this to 4.7 or more if possible and show us 4K results....maybe we can get a better info if it's worth OC this Devil's Canyon .... I think nobody in the world uses 4790K at 4 Ghz :)
you are very correct! I locked it at 4.0 cuz I wanted people with slower CPUs to have an easier reference point. In my newer vids I did the same bench at 4.7. Go checkem out. Cheers!
Do 5K! (Seriously, use super resolution in nvidia settings - see what that does to FPS )
phew! thanks for the suggestion. If the results are surprising ill make a vid of it. But if its as expected, maybe ill just put it as a side note for my next vid. Keep you posted!
Thank you for all your hard work. As a 4790k user @4.7ghz , mainly flight simulators DCS etc I’m wondering about VR performance, essentially running VR is 4K and above depending on headset. So rushing into a CPU upgrade is pretty pointless, it’s GPU I’m really needing , just can’t get a 3080 at present I have a 1070. Your thoughts ? I’m constantly thinking about a 10850k upgrade whilst I wait for a GPU, but rushing into something that’s not needed seems silly. Normally I’ll none VR a sim at 1440p with the highest graphics settings I can.
Hi! Thank you for commenting and thank you for the kind words! I'm afraid 4K might only be doable on the 3080 on ultra settings. Based on my newer vids, 3080 already bottlenecks at AAA games on 4K ultra. 3070 might do it as well, but with just a bit of compromise with Ray Tracing off. As for your CPU, you might want to hold off as 4790k is already the fastest on your Motherboard. Meaning any CPU upgrade will require a new MoBo and DDR4 RAM. Just as pricey. So a new GPU is really a good stop point before overhauling your entire setup. Snatching a second hand 2080ti on the cheap might be just as good. Keep us posted on your plans!
@@KatimaGaming Thank you sir for taking the time to comment. Basically the 4790k @4.7 is still fastest enough to feed a 3080 in 4k as the 3080 is still the bottle neck ?
@@TAP1992 yes in some triple AAA games like red dead and cyberpunk all ultra with raytracing the GPU will bottleneck. So yes the 3080 is a 4K GPU... but just barely, especially on 4790k. Either way, it is still cheaper to buy a gpu and make it a temp stop before overhauling your cpu and mobo. Hope this helps! Email me if you have more questions!
@@KatimaGaming thank you kindly
Im playing on a Asus sabertooth z97 mark 1 + i7 4790k + msi aero 1070itx and i play games at 2560 x 1080 and m playing on 75 fps constant. Soon ill make it SLI wich yes is still relevant.
I loved you roll in the movie Spiderman No Way home!
Why is your 4790K only running at 4GHz? Mine is hitting 4.4GHz all day and it’s not overclocked. Check your bios because your not getting the full preference your chip has to offer. Maybe fix your 4790k and the make a new video showing the performance boost.
Thanks for noticing! In this video I puposely underclocked it to show more bottleneck. This is to help shownothers with slower CPUs how it pairs with a 3080. I just forgot to add the explanation, sorry. Hehehe. I do have vidoes where I did 4.4, 4.6 and 4.7 as well on tje same games. Check them out!
good stuff! I got 4790 with no K but I think I can keep it for a little while now.
Thank you! Yeah 4790 is still very okay!
why would you test this CPU without using at least the standar turbo mode that is 4.2 ghz.. plus, this Cpu does in air just ok at 4.5ghz and about 1.2 Volts...
Hi. Good question! Yeah I underclocked the cpu to give others with slower CPUs a better example on the bottleneck. I do have videos where I benched it at 4.5 4.6 and 4.7. Check them out. They are all there. Cheers!
How about 1440p@144hz?
Try looking at my newer vidoes. I did 1440p 16:9 Overclock. Runs pretty good.
Hahahaha I love your comparison example it is funny. But yes. I do think the same way as you do. Some people just overestimate and underestimate the wrong parts in their pc... It is astonishing how low even the elder i7 models are sometimes in some games. I think the most important thing is that a game is well developed because otherwise your hardware simply does not matter at all. There were multiple very great examples like Cyberpunk, Eldenring, and nowadays Bugwarts LAGacy how I temporarily call it. I like the game but it does seem to become more and more "common" that some games come out being not really "ready" and they come with a lot of performance issues and bugs...
yo where is 4790k gang
present! hehehe
I gave my granson my old PC with a 4690k cpu and 24 gb ram, and then bought him a 3070, and it works great. 1080 gaming is a breeze, and if you up the resolution, then the load goes onto the graphics card.
The only issue he will have is that there is no TPM on the motherboard, and though i got windows 11 installed on that pc, he cant play Fifa 23 as the anti cheat program will not run due to the hardware restricitions.
It works fine on windows 10, but that will be going out of support soon, so we will have to upgrade his motherboard at the very least in the next year or so,, as i cannot find a compatible TPM for his Asus CSB motherboard.
Ok u got my sub and like! Thx for good video and explanation i fell of on the first joke lol 😂
wow thank you! glad you liked the skits! hehehe
