So last year i foolishly bought the 4690k in a rush to get my PC completed..and it's served me well over the course of the year. However, when streaming games, using skype (with video) and possibly a couple of tabs open in a web browser the 4690k seems to get stumped. Assassins creed unity will occasionally drop to 13fps, and barring the poor optimization, all cores are at 100%, This also applies to GTA5 where usually all cores are at 100% causing some form of stutter. I also like to emulate some games and stream them whilst still using skype, again causing some stutter and all cores to be somewhere near 100%. I now wonder if the upgrade will be worth it? In my head i rationalize that instantaneous performance will be better and some games seem to finally be using more than four threads which i may benefit from. However i am afraid the update may be a bit late and i'm wondering if i should just wait a year or two and upgrade to ddr4 and a newer processor. I do not want to purchase the 4790k and then feel as if it has been outdated too soon. Yet i also feel as if the waiting game on new technology is essentially endless so i should just purchase what works for now.
