Best GPU for i7-4790K

[maizenblue]

I have a 1070 ti with my 4790k. I think its a good combo. The 1080ti/2080 is where i think u might see some bottlenecking in a few games like bf1.

Gpu still maxed out though I guess (I know I played bf1 1440p gtx1080 a lot) so a better cpu would not increase performance...also have you tried it in dx12 like I told you the other day your cpu load will drop to 65%

Didn’t try much else. Quit the game. Playing cod now. The stutter is the issue. Don’t care what the usage is as long as it’s playable. Bought a new rig, it’s clear the cpus can’t handle the game.

My previous build had a 4790K.  With a 1080ti it would bottleneck me in gta v for anything other than 4K.  Upgrading to the 9900K gave my 26% better fps in 2560x1440 (82.6 to 104.2).  I tested with all settings maxed except msaa.

As far as I've seen the best CPU I can get for a computer my friend is giving me is the i7-4790K so I was wondering what graphics card I could pair it with to keep bottlenecking at a minimum. Keep in mind this CPU is limited to DDR3 ram. The gt 720 he has in it atm won't cut it.

Depends on resolution. Assuming he didn't overclock considering he has a gt 720

1080p: 1070/vega 56

1440p: 1080/Vega 64

4k: 1080ti/ 2080

 

I wouldn't pair it with a 2080ti ever.

I have, and I've nothing bad to say about the 4770K in my rig, together with the RTX 2080 Ti, kicks every game in the nuts with very playable framerate. Would framerate and synthetic benchmarks be higher with a newer and more powerful CPU, you betcha! But I ain't about benchmarks, and as long as gameplay is smooth at the res and max (or near max) ingame video setting, I ain't gonna think about upgrading the CPU.

Treyarch really fucked up with the game engine in black ops 4, everyone that isn't running a cpu clocked at 5ghz is having stuttering issues. I'm about to get a new cooler and push my 2600k as far as it'll go. Otherwise any other game that isn't black ops 4 and ASS creed will run very well on a 4790k.

Infinite gave me issues along with ww2. Nothing like bo4 but still left me on one card and some setting lowered. The new cpu seems to be holding up better. Looks like it could handle a single card with settings maxed.

ww2 didn't give me any issues on my setup, and I was pushing at around 150 fps at all times, never played infinite for obvious reasons. Pretty much any game engine will work well with my setup let alone a haswell cpu, some overclocking may be required though.

Having an i7-4770@3,4GHz and paired it with Gigabyte Aorus 1080Ti. CPU is not getting bottlenecked as there is not a single core at 100% and no other sign of bottlenecking. Some games can be run at 4K but the newer games not really that much, or you have to turn down some settings. Me going for eye candy and thus 1440P.

 

I'll upgrade the CPU when there is RTX6080Ti or something lol. Not kidding.

well that CPU is not bad by any means, its actually really good. old does not mean its bad. im sure it can hold up with the latest GPU's

I will vouch to that Im 7 years old on the CPU and it beats a non overclocked 8700k at CPU Queen test in AIda and keeps up on other tests.

Awww hell yeah! Im gonna slap a 1060 6gb in it then!

U were worrying about a 1060 ? 

I thought u wanted like sli 2080tis lol

even sli 2080tis would be fine 

[Acceptive]

Really any GPU, even a 2080 ti.  What framerate is he playing at?  A i7 4790k may not be able to play the latest and greatest at 144 fps.

[CTR640]

You'll be fine with AMD Vega 60 Navi XR with Deep Learning or nVidia GXR 7090Ti.

Sure, but if you're limiting the GPU to 2080 performance anyways then you're wasting money anyways.

I’d just like to see some screen shots of said systems not having issues.

I find it funny that some people impose their set of belief system onto others. IF I don't pass judgment on others, the least I'd expect is that they'd return the favor. I upgraded the cards to perform according to my needs....not yours. Seriously, it's my money to do as I please so don't go passing judgment on me! I might upgrade to Zen 2 next year, but then again, it's my money to spend.....or not spend.

Dude relax, I'm not passing judgement. It is your money, and you can do what you want. No need to get so defensive. I'm just saying that if this guy is planning on pairing a 4790k with a 2080ti, it wouldn't be the best idea because he'd be spending an extra $400 for nearly 0% extra performance.

Then why quote me if that part in bold isn't directed at me? Isn't that being judgmental? I get defensive when someone whom I don't know from Jack decides to deride my purchase decision. I don't owe anyone, especially you, any explanation or reason as to my purchase decisions. I'm willing to take criticism if that person is more tactful, or is more diplomatic in his phrasing of his words.....you, sir, have not been either.

No you absolutely don't. I also never said you did. Buy whatever you want. Hell, pair an Athlon 200 with your 2080ti for all I care. However, you're recommending your purchase decision to another person. Given I don't think spending an extra $400 for 0% extra performance is a very good idea, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it so OP doesn't waste his money. I'm sorry you feel so insecure about your purchase that you get overly defensive when "some you don't know from Jack" says it wasn't a very wise one, but that doesn't mean I'm going to not voice my opinion on a literal public forum that I don't think OP should make the same choice. 

 

TLDR: Sorry you feel insecure. Buy whatever you want; I don't care. I don't think OP should make the same decision you did because it makes no logical sense.

Its still a beast cpu and u can easily pair it with a gtx 1080ti and even rtx cards but i would recommend to overclock the cpu for better performance ;D

Hope that works out. Mine doesn’t do well. Hope it can handle streaming better than it does gaming.
