Is a Intel Core i7 4770K good with a gtx 780?

[dog12345drew]

Hello, i wanted to know if a gtx 780 and Intel Core i7 4770K would be ok together for gaming.

if you have 1 what fps do you get in games maxed out 1080p?

[loccilucas]

That is a very strong combination, you can expect to max out all games at 70+ fps 1080p

[JuztBe]

Deepends on games, settings, resolutions. But it fits well.

[Rorgash]

depends on game, settings and the position of the moon in the sky... and its some of the best parts within reasonable prices on the market...

Of course. 

[scaryjam823]

I have both and average anywhere from 40fps on crysis ultra at 1080p to 120+fps on less demanding games, 80fps average on bf4 ultra at 1080p.

ahaha no

[Oshino Shinobu]

It's a nice combination for gaming and some video/photo editing or rendering. For just gaming, a 4670K or 4690K would be a better solution for the price, it will perform the same. 

[loccilucas]

ahaha no

well I can't think of a game it wouldn't max out 70+ fps. mabye other than ARMA 3 max render distance.

[KieranFretwell]

Is good. ya. 

[Thorium19]

It's very good, no bottlenecks at all android for more performance. You can expect to max out pretty much every game and get over 60 FPS at 1080p.

Crysis 3, star citizen, BF 4 in the middle of a 64 player battle,

crysis being one, Skyrim with ENB, and im sure its possible to find a few more actually good looking games, so few these days tho.. so few aim for good graphics, oh and one game that you probably cant run at 70+, Operation Flashpoint, the first game the OLD one, you could make draw distance the ENTIRE map of 50+km

 

oh and far cry 3 has some issues at times

[gigabyte]

a 4690k/4670k will perform the same except for in crysis 3 and some other processor demanding games

lol how could I forget crysis, but far cry 3? thats well easy to run, my 660ti maxes it out at arounf 70fps.

i can confirm that Skyrim with ENB and 2 -4 K textures runs at 60 FPS, but it dips down to 40 when in huge battles (like the battle for whiterun)

Far Cry is a strange beast, i ran it on 3 monitors on my 670 and it ran fine, but it runs about as fine on my 780 (my 670 was golden and OC'd to 780Ti speeds)

 

probably has to do with something strange..

No-Ones going to say that for Gaming the i5-4690k will preform almost identical?

[xNeon]

Swap the i7 for an i5 and see if you can bump the 780 up to a 780Ti. but either combo would be killer for a while

i want to future proof it. some games that come out mite use more cores.

The 4770K doesn't have more cores, it has hyperthreading. BF4 can use more than 4 cores, but doesn't use hyperthreading (I don't think) 

[Jey R.]

For gaming a more powerful gpu will always give you better gaming performance regardless of it being a forth Gen ¡7 or i5 cpu.

However for others things as people have mentioned the i7 will benefit for rendering, editing, and higher cpu capabilities. So if you want to go beyond gaming then i7 is a great choice.

[i_build_nanosuits]

that's what i use to game and it's a beast...maxes out every games ATM.

[i_build_nanosuits]

The 4770K doesn't have more cores, it has hyperthreading. BF4 can use more than 4 cores, but doesn't use hyperthreading (I don't think) 

it does just like many other games i do see utilisation on each 8 threads available (mostly on 6 though) max payne 3, crysis 3, watch dogs, tomb raider and compagny of heroes 2 are other games that i've tested that also use 6 to 8 ''threads'' on my CPU.

But it's not needed the core i7 is a massive overkill for all those games except for watchdogs in wich the 4770K@4.3ghz still bottlenecks the GTX 780 (no a lot but slightly i do get as low as 88% GPU load at times while driving around on max settings but AA is not maxed...)
