4770k for gaming?

[wazza1212]

Will i get more performance from a 4770k thrn a 4670k form gaming? I'm upgrading my old fx 8120 and wanted to know! 

 

Thanks

Nope. It'll come in handy for CPU heavy projects like lot's of video rendering, graphics design and photo editing.

In gaming, probably only a very small fraction, like a few FPS.

Nope, a 4670K would be plenty

I agree with you guys , but am i the only one that gets that annoying brain itch knowing its better , but you dont have it , but its better value , but you dont have it ,but but but  .... GRAARRHGHLL . If you have the money go for the i7 4790k . It'll be here in a couple weeks.

It could do, espically if you are planning to play games like DayZ Mod and other heavily CPU intesive games.

There is probably a  increase of fps between 2 and-10 fps but when you are running sli or crossfire with highend cards you will notice the diffrence also in 4k gaming.

In some cpu heavy games for sure. I went for the 4770k because I want to run sli in the future and I run a bunch vm's from time to time.

BTW you know the 4670K/4770K would require a new mobo ?  just though i should point that out

yeah, if it get the i7 i have to get a slightly lower end motherboard! i just wanted a second opinion!:-)

In some highly multi-threaded games it can make a difference:

Do you have a build log? I would like to express my feelings towards your GPU choice.

 

Back on-topic: i7 is a better choice if you are going to keep the PC for 4+ years, if not then the i5 is better in terms of value as you only gain a <5% improvement when going with an i7 over an i5.

The GPU is probably the only thing left from the original build, and seeing as I am not too worried about playing anything that is too graphic intensive, I haven't upgraded.

Just for reference, the original build was a Pentium G645, 4GB and the 7750.

A GTX 770 will probably be making it's way into my build sometime soon.
