4790k Vs 5820k

[UnbounDxKilleR]

Hi Guys,

 

Typical comparison here with so many opinions, But what CPU is truely better 4 Vs 6 Core, 4.0GHz Vs 3.3GHz, 16 Vs 28 PCI-E lanes, finally future proofing???

 

Just want straight answers as to what you think for typical scenario Gaming, Streaming, Video editing, Graphical work.

For gaming I like the fewer faster cores, but if your going to video edit/render 6 cores will help.

He said it best

If youre not doing anything more than gaming get the 4790k

If you are doing video editing/rendering and such get the 5820k because those 2 extra cores will help you a good bit

Thank you for the simple honest answers

One more question I've not really looked into it much but x99 vs x79, so 4930k(?) vs 5830k? isnt that similar to 5820k vs 5930k?

[jimakos234]

x79 is an older platform than x99

Assuming you are ocing - no contest. 5820k.

 

But if you are gaming a i5 4690k/6600k are fine, no point to get anything better.

Unless you want to play CPU demanding games, and then there is.

Umm nope, there are not enough games that benefit enough from hyperthreading or extra cores to make it actually worth upgrading from i5 to i7.

it's not whether there are enough. It's about whether or not you play them.

*sigh* Looks what happens when they enter the city. If you're going to comment, please make sure you research first.

At no point do I see the 4690K drop below 50 fps? Its still happily playable.

I was replying to the guy saying a 4790K. If you are going to spend that much on an i7 on mainstream go the whole hog and get X99 (its barely more expensive anyway), else get an i5 and upgrade sooner.

 

Also check my previous answer; I said I would get a 5820K assuming you are going to overclock, but the return on price/performance for 4790K just isnt there for me. It would need to be ~£50 cheaper to really be recommendable.

[Elfuego]

Not to mention assuming you are pairing a 4790K/4690K with a sensible GPU (not a 980Ti) you will probably be GPU limited anyway...

A 4790K is vastly superior to a i5 4690K. If you have the budget, why buy a CPU you know you'll have to replace? Since the OP clearly has the budget, it's foolish to buy a 4690K.

If he has the budget for a 4790K then as I said go buy a 5820K; far better CPU and those 2 extra cores are a godsend for rendering/compiling.

depends if ur on a 144hz monitor and u want the fps,

60 fps is not the be all and end all for some gamers
