i7 4790K vs i7 4790

DukiNuki · Sep 14, 2014

Hey guys

i know that K is for Overclocking and since im not overclocking then i7 4790 is enough But .

i7 4790K is 4.0Ghz and its 4.4Ghz at turbo . thats so wow . dont you think i should get i7 4790K just because of that ?

DukiNuki · Sep 14, 2014

Can you compare the winner with i5 3470 ( Gaming Performance ) ?

legend001523 · Sep 14, 2014

na, the extra 0.4hz won't be noticeable and the i7 will get more fps, maybe 5-10 more on cpu demanding games

I know I would - and get a good cooler. You may want to try to get 4.6-4.7Ghz.
Fairly common.

Man its 400Mhz ?

people overclock their stuff to get that much . and they see some difference and its not just 400mhz . its 4.4Ghz at Turbo . isnt that huge ?

legend001523 · Sep 14, 2014

unless you want like 2 or 3 more fps and like 2 seconds faster in rendering, get the non k

DukiNuki · Sep 14, 2014

One more thing . 5th GEN is Coming as you already know . their i7 Version is out now . i saw the benchmarks between i7 5960x and i7 4790K . and I saw nothing wow and noticeable .

is it really worth to wait for 5th GEN ? yeah they are 8 Core and No games dont need that much and if they ever need it . will hyper threading solve the issue ?

i really donno about this one too .

Wait for DDR4 ram + 5th GEN or Go with DDR3 + i7 4790/i7 4790K ???

DukiNuki · Sep 14, 2014

Please . i Beg of you . answer all my questions .

legend001523 · Sep 14, 2014

DukiNuki :

For gaming only, the 8 core cpus, or do you mean the 5920k and 5930k? plus ddr4 is already out but not needefd for gaming, i7 4790 will last 5-8years on gaming

DukiNuki · Sep 14, 2014

legend001523 :

Thanks for info man . so hard to believe that 4.4Ghz is just 2-3 FPS . if that s true then why people overclock ? for 2-3 FPS gain ? can you please explain me a little bit more ? So Sorry for endless wave of Stupid questions

DukiNuki · Sep 14, 2014

Take a look here :

http://anandtech.com/bench/product/1317?vs=1260

New i7 5960X ( 8 real core ) vs i7 4790K ( 4 real core ) and the result is unnoticeable = 5th Gen will bring nothing but the feel of being old and out dated

DukiNuki · Sep 14, 2014

5-7 Years ? that means . i'm Ok with 4 Real Cores + HT for that long ? will future games ever need 8 real core ?

legend001523 · Sep 14, 2014

yes and no

DukiNuki · Sep 14, 2014

Got it

thanks for info . also it would be great to give me a little bit more info about 4.4Ghz Unnoticeable difference in games ( 2-3 Fps )

legend001523 · Sep 14, 2014

like what

Vexillarius · Sep 14, 2014

Uh, the 5960X isn't 5th gen. It's Haswell-E (ie 4th gen), which is for extreme enthusiasts and workstations. It's $1000. Apples and oranges.

DukiNuki · Sep 15, 2014

Yeah i just found out that one . the hell is wrong with their names

and for earlier question ( like what )

Like . i7 4790 is 3.6Ghz - 4Ghz ( turbo ) But i7 4790K is 4.0Ghz and 4.4ghz ( turbo ) . how come the difference is just 2-3 FPS

?

and why people overclock their hardware if its sucha little and unnoticeable gain ?

legend001523 · Sep 15, 2014

Just a guess and for fun and challenge

DukiNuki · Sep 15, 2014

oh ok

DukiNuki · Sep 15, 2014

Can someone give me a clear answer please ?

Vexillarius · Sep 15, 2014

It depends on the price. If you can get the 4790k for (nearly) the same price as the 4790 then go for the 4790k. If there's a significant price difference and you don't want to overclock you might as well go with the 4790 and save some money.

DukiNuki · Sep 15, 2014

Just wanna know the performance difference . i can go for both . just wanna know if i7 4790K's 4.4Ghz is really a big deal for now and future

Vexillarius · Sep 16, 2014

An i7 is already overkill for gaming, you don't need more than an i5-4690k. So that last 400MHz isn't going to make a significant difference.

Take this for what it's worth:
