Question about 1150 cpu's

Deniedstingray · Oct 19, 2016

Hey guys, I know the 1150 socket has no new cpu's coming out but i am curious. What is the best cpu for the 1150 socket? I currently have an i5-4690k and i am worried that in a year or two when i need to upgrade i will have to get a new mobo too. What is the best cpu in the 1150 range?

4790k.
I doubt you need to upgrade in the next few years though.

Yeah i know i won't necessarily need to, but some of the newer cpu's have an 8-10 fps increase so im just thinking that will gap will grow over the years.

1) It's actually pretty rare that a game benefits noticeably from a faster CPU than yours. Multi-GPU, or poorly threaded games are the best examples. Some really demanding MMO's can benefit from a good i7 as well.

When I say "noticeably" that includes going from 80FPS to 90FPS. Yes, it's faster, but at that point is it noticeable?

2) DX12/Vulkan once properly supported (no games PROPERLY support this yet).
- the code is not only more EFFICIENT but the games should be able to use almost 100% of the CPU's processing power which isn't normally possible. Many games can't use more than about 70% due to the main code thread maxing out one of the CPU cores.

So anyway, the CPU bottleneck could easily disappear from most games in the near future with your system.

Huh, i didn't know that. Thanks for the response!
