How long can i be good with i5 4690k? I ask this question because future games may require more than 4 cores. Can i5 4690k outperform the processor of current gen consoles in gaming like both in terms of smooth gameplay and fps count?


My rig
i5 4690k
gtx 970 ssc from evga
asus z97-a
G.skill ddr3 2400mhz
Seagate barracuda 1tb
seasonic 620w 80+ bronze
corsair 200r
cm hyper212 evo cpu cooler

If anything needs to be upgraded pls inform me.
Can this rig stand against future gen consoles?
Pls reply me Thank you

Your build doesn't stand against the current consoles, it utterly destroys them in terms of raw compute power.

It's important to remember that developers can optimise console games easily because the hardware is identical. PC gaming has a huge variety of hardware and software, so optimising games is more difficult. A game is simply software, so it's only as good as the guy who programmed it.

Whilst it's true that some current games are optimised for more than four threads, and this trend is likely to continue in my opinion, the 4690K is still a very good CPU and you should only consider upgrading it when it becomes a bottleneck.

I'm still rocking a 2500K and I don't plan to upgrade any time soon.
