People please stop telling people not to get the 4790K for gaming

[Interfectorem]

Its not $120 more its $60 more

In the USA, The 4690K is $225 on Amazon, and the 4790K is $340. That's $115 more for about 1-4 FPS more. That's absurd if you're just going to be gaming. Once you bring video editing and rendering into the picture, the by all means get the 4790K. But it's stupid to get a stronger CPU (i7) with a weak GPU if you're going to be gaming only. It's better to get the i5 and a much better GPU. So I really don't see where you argument is coming from honestly.

Its $60 more

 

Show me on the map where you buy your pot.

Mantle reduces a lot of CPU overhead.

 

Does that mean it can leverage more performance from the CPU then?

[Trik'Stari]

Have a link to where they describe their process?

I'd say look on their website. Their open about just about everything, nothing is being NDA'd.

Hate to burst your bubble OP, but the i5 is just as good as the i7. Hell, if you grab a G3258 and overclock it within a hertz of it's life, it will do close to as good as the i5 in some games.

HAHAH! This @Cokeman guy can't get it into his thick skull.

When people are going for intel rigs, I tell them this

 

Just gaming? i5

 

Gaming + rendering etc.? i7 if they want to overclock, xeon if they are never going to overclock

 

For most part that does work. Some people do want the best since they do not upgrade often so then may want an i7 to help get more longevity out of chip, then you got the people that really want to get every 1fps they can out of a game and will go for a i7 over i5

youre saying you need a 100 dollar cooler to get a 4690K too 4.0 GHZ

 

-.-

i guess I will pay 100$ for my 212 evo then !

[Freaky_spider]

no, it means you can get a lower end CPU without it 'bottlenecking'

Thanks a bunch. I expected it hidden on some enthusiast site (like most things).

Whats the point of that map?

I've seen a few dense people on this forum but wow. C'mon, for gaming you just can't beat an i5.

Overclock it over a hertz of its life. Because it can. You sprinkle fairy dust on that chip and you make it work.

Because you must be smoking something funny if you think a 4790k is only $60 more expensive than a 4690k.

If you know where to get it.

That's there actual site. Their doing everything in the open, and making the community around the game apart of the development, they've raised 50 million from people buying into the development modules (basically snippits of the game, like the hanger where you can walk around and look at your ship, and the arena module where you can fly and fight it in it.) It's going to be as massive as EVE, but as detailed as what you see in the video's. It's truly a next generation level of immersion.

Well the E3-1246v3 is 60$ more maybe he is going by that

lulz I almost decided to grab one and an H80i, but I decided to grab an i5 and deal with stock, just because I'll need the extra horsepower recording gameplay with good ol' FRAPS.

Omfg it doesn't matter it's still more expensive than an i5 and gives you a minuscule amount of performance.

[Cokeman]

Well if anyone wants a 4690k its $209 on amazon right now

He just kind of proved our point for us. He's denser than Plutonium (Denser...that doesn't sound right)

And there's the reason to not buy a 4790k.

I don't think anyone only runs one game and nothing else. All those benchmarks don't have a VOIP program, WMP, OC utilities, hardware monitors, web browsers, etc running in the background. Run the benchmark with all those running and see the difference in FPS then. i7 haters love those benchmarks. They're not real world results. With all the background processes even on consoles, they prove you need more threads.

[i_build_nanosuits]

The Core i7 haswell will be relevant for gaming for a couple years longer than a core i5 would, it's a better CPU that can multi-task and run multi-threaded games much better than a core i5 it's just that the GPU and the GAMES to exploit such a CPU aren't out there just yet so the difference between both CPU isn't noticeable in current games with current GPU but down the road it will. The core i5 is seeing 90% usage in many modern multiplayer games and at some point it will no longer cut it IMHO.

[Real_PhillBert]

I'm thinking about making a thread "Stop telling people they used the wrong parts"

 

If they are happy with what they built, you should shut the hell up. Its their money, and their time, you have no investment. Stop raining on their parade.
