4790k vs 6300

[the ginger gamer]

Alright guys i know the i7 is much better, but is it worth it to spend a lot of money to upgrade to this cpu? I will be video editing on Sony Vegas and gaming of coarse. How much faster will rendering be and about how many more frames ( a general idea) will i be getting on most typical triple a games such as far cry, skyrim, battlefield, and most other games. Thanks very much for the help it is much appreciated.

get the 4690k. good compromise between the two. or an 8320 and oc it.

a Xeon 1230 or 1231 is something to consider. It's essentially an i7-4770/4790 without the iGPU.

I know and in fact that was the cpu i was going to get but now microcenter has a 4790k for $250 which is the same price as the xeon but with higher clock speeds and the ability to oc. Still thought do you think this will be a worthy upgrade?

Ah 6300 and a 4690k isnt even up for comparison

 

A i3 would be a better comparison

[SeanBond]

For 250 is would jump on it.

Ok i am sorry but idk what you are talking about i have the 6300 and my friend has a i3 and they perform extremely close and in some cases my 6300 actually beats his i3 so honestly it wouldn't be a good upgrade at all. Thanks for trying to help though.

Alright i think i am going to, i just don't want to get it and not get much more performance out of it. Thanks.

4790k is a no-brainer and will totally be worth it. Be sure to get a Z97 board, though!

I looked at some charts¹, and I looked up different prices from newegg^2,3,4. Comparing Δprice / Δperformance between the 4770K (which should perform about the same as the 4790K) and the FX 6300, I get about $2.25 per one second decrease in render times. Compare that to the FX 8350 which is about $0.59 per one second decrease in render times. The former seems rather steep to me.

what i3 does your friend have?

 

It will be a huge upgrade for you

[SeanBond]

@The ginger gamer The 4790k in even a multithreaded application is still faster than a 9590 if you overclock it. I hope that is enough for you. lol

[Sintezza]

if you render allot of video, then yes the 4790K is worth every single penny.

I wouldnt even bother with an i5 if you can afford a 4790k.

 

But yeah thats me

 

If you have a Micro center near you, the 4790K goes for $250,- over there.

For video editing, totally get the i7

[Faceman]

If video editing is a big part of what you do, i7. No brained. Better performance all around no matter what you do. Its not even a fair comparison between the twom
