4790k vs 5820k

[C3DMaX]

Hey guys,

 

I'm on the verge of upgrading.

 

I'll be going from an fx8320 to either an i74790k or 5820k

 

as I'm also rendering videos on a regular basis im interested in the 5820k,

 

while having to buy new ram is a negative point, especially with ddr4 pricing.

 

what i would like to know is by how much the rendering performance will differ between the two

 

and also how gaming performance will differ on cpu bound games like skyrim, as I'm having abysmal performance in (heavily) modded skyrim on the AMD right now.

 

thanks in advance,

There is a fairly huge difference in terms of rendering, but gaming should be about the same, as most games don't use more than four cores. Basically, if you can afford it, go X99, but if you can't you should be perfectly fine with Z97.

For nearly every game out there 4790k and 5820k are going to be equal at the same clocks.

when you say at the same clocks you mean. if the 5820 is oc'ed to ~4GHz?

 

if yes, how bad can one lose the silicon lottery with those cpus?

if youre rendering daily i would go for the 5820k and buy the cheapest ddr4 possible

[salecar3]

man get i7 4790k its cheaper you dont have 2 buy ram mobos are cheaper as well for x99 buld you woad need atleast

400$ for cpu

200$mob

300$ram

70$cpu coler

Nevermind, disregard this post

Well with 4790k you have better overclock, 350mhz higher is what is common.

And its cheap.

 

4790k is cherry picked

4790k turbo frequency is 4.4, but yes, with the 5820k equaling the clock of the 4790k. Most 5820k's can hit at least 4GHz, although I'm sure there are some samples out there below 4.0.

Regardless, the biggest improvement you're going to be experiencing is moving to a platform with much greater IPC, and either choice should make your modded Skyrim run like butter.

 

You're splitting hairs on the clock and gaining 2 extra cores and 4 threads with the 5820k, big deal for rendering, not so much for games ATM. DX12 may change that, but I wouldn't bet on it being a monumental difference between the 4790k and 5820k.

the x99  cpus have a higher TDP

as i only need cpu mobo and ram and i pay in euro

 

i could get a 

 

5820k for 385€

 

2 Sticks of 2133MHz HyperX Fury for 100€

 

and a

 

MSI X99S SLI Plus for 220€

thanks, i think I'll go with the 5820k , what made me worrie was, some benchmarks and comparison pages showing the 5820k having less single core performance

Even if it does, it will be very slight and you won't notice it. Just buy it if you can afford it and don't worry about gaming performance, because it will be nearly the same as a 4790K

thanks everyone, i guess this topic can be marked as solved or whatever

 

i'll go x99
