Having had a quick glance, most of those seem to be at 1080p. Not where I have noticed bottlenecks or where the OP is interested in gaming (has 1080p height but wider width).

They use 1080p as it's more CPU bound then higher resolutions. The lower the resolution the more the CPU has to work.

It matters to the OP because it shows that his CPU is fine and there will be no difference upgrading it. His resolution is higher than 1080p.
 
Melmac you loon, i already posted that bit tech gtx680 + cpu comparison in a cpu bound game at 1080p. To which he didn't even take note and respond to.

I'm out on this there's no getting through the contradictions.
 
@melmac, At 1st you say you did not insult then you go on to admitted you did.

I know what I and others gained by the same swap of CPU by posting here and you can search for those posts all you want.

I would bet you never had the same hardware swaps and picking up 1 or 2 games that may or may show the results is easy to do for both sides of the agreement.

I do not mind being wrong but I do mind the BS way you and 1 or 2 others replied but you can not disprove anything for yourself anymore than I can prove it as I have not got the hardware anymore and do not really give a monkey's what you think or say about anything.

@ Frenzy, Last commert to you is do not upgrade the Mobo/CPU its not worth it and you can wait on next tick/tock whatever.

Yes but I think beyond 1440p it also comes down to the CPU. I was seeing much lower FPS than others at 1440p and above.

Games become more GPU bound than CPU bound at higher resolutions. It is the reason that they use lower resolutions to do cpu benchmarks in games. The only way you will notice a difference between a 4770k and a 2600k while gaming is at resolutions lower than 1080P or using multigpu setups.

I know, but as you say he ignored it and he asked me for proof, so I linked to it again.

Even though its an i7 that 2600k will hold back a high end card somewhat esp SLI.

I doubled my min FPS in many games going from a 5GHZ 2700k to a stock 4770k (crap clocker) with same GPU at that time which was a GTX 680 4GB.

This post is absolute rubbish.

A 2600K with modest overclock can keep up with pretty much any of the modern i7s. You were doing something wrong, somewhere.

Guys, according to what exactly? All I see is people writing this over the forum, the only evidence I have seen is various tests at 1080p. In certain benchmarks at 1440p and above I could not get anywhere near 3rd and 4th gen CPU users. Thief springs to mind, DIRT is another one. That's running my 290X's at 1200/1600 and above, not exactly poor overclocks.

CPU usage for me is sat at more than 80% on a 2600k running 4.4Ghz in certain games. Yes I have made a relatively large jump going from a 2600k to a 5960X but I bet I will see much smoother play as less work of the CPU is required. I don't mean to derail the thread, so apologies to the OP. Just bringing it up as it's of interest to me and has been mentioned by other users in here.

Two people questioned your statement and you got all uppity and on the defensive straight away saying I don't care what people believe. And point out where I insulted you? I said you were talking rubbish and thank god you weren't going to say anything more on the matter because you would have persuaded the guy to buy a new mobo and cpu when he didn't need it.

And you keep saying I haven't got proof, but I have, I have posted it. Two of us even posted links to a CPU dependent game benchmark. You are the one making wild claims, show me anything to prove it? You dont give a monkeys what I say? Fine, read the links I posted earlier. Respected hardware sites have disproved what you said.

You really don't like been proved wrong do you?

Everything we have talked about so far has been single gpu configurations. You have two 290x's in crossfire? Things are a little different with multi-gpu setups, you need more cpu power because there is bigger workload. Depending on the games you play you might notice a difference while gaming but for some games you might not notice any difference but you should see lower CPU use as the new CPU is more powerful. But you wont get double the min frame rates or anything like that.

What part did you not read that I was not member here so did not post anything?

I do not care what you think as no doubt you never did the same swap and I have nothing to prove.

Since you are on a mission go and use search and pick all the thread where peeps say the same.

You seem to be hung up on the speed of the 2770k, its a different architecture than the Haswell that is why there is a difference.

The manner in what you replied does you or the other two no favours in me even bothering.

I will not be replying to you.

I don't think throwing a hissy fit is really going to strengthen your position.

You have to appreciate you are making some bold claims (doubling minimum FPS by going from 2700k @ 5GHz to 4770k @ stock) with nothing to back it up aside from a vague insinuation that other people have had the same results.

What you are claiming goes against what people would commonly expect to happen. People aren't going out of their way to attack you, they're interested in if they can see similar types of gains for themselves.

If I posted in the Firestrike thread claiming to beat the world record with my 670s, people would quite reasonably expect me to back that up with proof. Me saying "well a ton of people saw me do it so there" doesn't count as conclusive evidence.
