I7 4770 bottlenecking?

[dionkoffie]

 I'm not sure if my CPU is bottlenecking or not. I don't notice it in games or anything, but whenever I do Cinebench or stuff like this I get scores lower than other 4770s. 

 

Look at this one I just did:

I've seen people get 848 with their I7 4770. 

 

What seems to be the issue with my rig? Is it my motherboard? My temps are fine. The cpu never gets higher than 40 degrees C.

Could be your memory speeds.

Would upgrading to 1600MHz make any difference? It's the highest my mobo can handle.

Maybe. I just know whenever I moved up from 1600 to 2133 memory for my 2500k, I was getting more stable framerates in Witcher 3, for example - it helped relieve some of the CPU bottleneck. 1333 to 1600 may help a little bit but it may not be much. I don't want to give you a definitive answer because I don't know 100% sure for your case.

Not in cinebench that other cpu is faster because its a 4770k, which is clocked faster than a 4770.

I know. I'm not trying to get it faster than the 4770K. That is not even possible. My scores are lower than other 4770s and that's what I'm worried about.

Re run it, scores can chage a good amount.

 

Close everything else.

 

Change the prioity to high in task manager.

Cas speed is more important for benchmarks like conebech (lower is better), but for gaming and the like you will not see any improvement.

Well the 4770K is clocked 1GHz faster. check the cinebench thread results-they'll give you an idea as to whether its the CPU's clock speed or something else.

your CPU is running 3.4ghz base clock and when all threads are in use (cinebench for example) your cores should clock at around 3.5 or 3.6ghz through intel boost...and at that clockspeed a multi-thread cinebench score of just under 700 is absolutely normal.

The other haswell CPU's you've seen performing better than yours were just clocked higher than yours.

The test i always use to check if there is a bottleneck, is running Witcher 3 at max settings. My previous i7 2600K@4,4ghz didnt have enough power to fully power my gtx 1080. I found out by monitoring both gpu usage and cpu usage ingame with Msi afterburner. The graphics card is supposed to work at 95-99% almost all the time. 

If you see that the graphics card falls down from 95-99%, while the processor goes above 60% and towards 90% while the graphics card is going down in workload, that indicates that the cpu has to slow the gpu down to hang on. If that happens, your cpu bottlenecks those areas in the game.

I have not had a 4770K, but i have a thought that it will bottleneck a high end graphics cards a certain amount in games that taxes much on the cpu.

 

Going from 1333mhz to 1600mhz will not make that much of a difference. It will be another story if you go from 1333mhz to 2666mhz ddr4. But i doubt the ram speeds are directly bottlenecking your system.
