Posted September 11, 2016 if above 60hz, I would go 6700k. If your doing 1440p or 1080p at 60hz, the 6600k.

Posted September 11, 2016 Excluding RTS? Heavy on CPU and they love i7's. But for gaming only I'd go with the i5 for 60hz while 144hz would do better with higher clock on i7.

Posted September 11, 2016 i7 really comes into play with DX12, before that back in the DX11 days it didn't matter as much, but DX12 can take advantage of more cores. either way if you got the money go 6700k over 6600k that thing is a freaking beast, twice as fast at video conversions (tested using freemake video converter to convert 4 x.264 shows to a DVD folder) compared to my laptops 4700HQ (which was already 5-6 times faster then my previous AMD dual core laptops).

Posted September 11, 2016 When it comes to gaming there was not much difference between an i7 and i5 till 2014. But today games are benefiting from more threads. If you have got the money i7 is best. It will also give you upto 40% boost in hyperthreaded applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 11, 2016 Author Not making any content, just that it bothers me any time the frame rate dips below 60fps on ULTRAMAXLOL settings. Right now 1080 @ 60fps which my 4690k handles well enough. It just seems that some games are a large improvement while others are meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
