Recently I've been getting into some intense video rendering, which has been less and less efficient with my 4 core 4670k. From a friend I got a very cheap system with an i7 920 for $100. I'm curious if I swap parts around to have most efficient overall, would my i7 920 be comparable to my 4670K in gaming and rendering?
I know I'd be taking a hit in gaming performance for performance per individual core. But would that even be really noticeable in terms of fps? And would I see an improvement when using roxio, adobe premiere and powerdirector? Just wondering if the extra four threads would be of benefit. I'm most likely going to keep both towers. But if the performance drop in gaming isn't very bad and the gains with rendering are decent I might just sell/part out the 4670k + remains.
They'd be paired with an msi R9-290X
