Ignore a lot of these people here - they tend to flip-flop between what is good due to gear acquisition syndrome. I have seen people here who upgraded their whole CPU platform three or four times within a two year period,and each previous CPU was rubbish and the new was the greatest,until that was rubbish and so on. Apparently half these "crap" CPUs they argue about are perfectly fine since in the RL my mates seem to run all these games fine.

Stick with what you have for the time-being as it is quite new. However,I would have said realistically anyone jumping on the Core i5/i7 7000 series this year should have realised with Ryzen launching and Coffee Lake launching a 4C/4T CPU was going to be less relevant over the next few years and you can see how the Core i5 8600K is significantly better value than a Core i5 7600K was. Realistically you should have just waited until Ryzen and Coffeelake,since even though many here go on about single core performance,most of the ones bigging up the Core i5 CPUs the most,don't actually own one - they only ever have bought CPUs with at least 8 threads and nothing less.

Nope I play game. But I would still love to see them graphs. Why are you not posting them up I am confused. Can you plz explain why you can't do this one simple task for me
 
Benchmarks speak for themselves.
As does real life experience.

Here's my own results on ryzen, yes this bottlenecks a 1070 at 1080p.
Both CPU's heavily overclocked with the fastest memory speed I could achieve. The 1070 is also overclocked as far as it will go.

@P4Clock what has non gaming graphs got to do with this thread? We all know ryzen wins in applications vs a 4core i5/i7.
But here, in this thread the OP is interested in gaming performance.

In truth I wanted my pc back, plus had no faith amd would deliver at all, I was wrong on that lol, I'm having zero issues with my pc besides Windows updates, it performs as I wanted was just an itch I had and I probably should have waited looking back but ah well live and learn.

Yeah,but the thing is CFL was also moving to 6C/12T according to rumours too,and its why even though my setup is old,I decided to wait even though I could have gotten a Core i7 6700 for a good price last year.

Outside that,do what I do,just use the system until it comes to a game where the CPU is deffo holding you back in RL and I mean without having to compare FPS counters,and if at that point tweaking settings does not help you,then perhaps look at a CPU upgrade,but even then make sure it isn't something that a patch will fix,or even an SSD will help with. This way you will maximise the lifepsan between upgrades,otherwise technically almost every new CPU launch will be an upgrade over an "older" CPU.

Look at the real world results not physics scores of 1 test lol. Look at the graphics score, low clockspeed of ryzen bottleneck high end gpus Meh not even gonna bother with you. Your 4790k is gonna be faster than the ryzen you are getting lol

Lol, you really do come out with some crap sometimes. My 1700 & 1080ti is in position 27 in the link P4Clock posted. There is not one 4790K above my position, in fact the nearest 4790K is in position 45 using a 1080ti with the cpu clocked 4.8Ghz.
As my 1700 clocked at 3.8Ghz is a full 1Ghz slower than the 4790K, perhaps you can explain how my cpu is bottlenecking my high end gpu ? I can't say i've noticed any bottleneck in Timespy or for that matter any other benches that i've posted results in on here.

Real world tests. Go look at the benchmarks, they don't lie. The only reason your 1700 is doing so well in 3dmark tests is the physics score. Run unigene valley or heaven against a 4790k.
I'm not making this up, the benchmarks are there for all to see. I've already shown that a 7600k can beat the 1800x.
 
The 7600k is a fine gaming cpu , look online at gaming benchmarks. Unless you do a lot of video encoding and stuff like that or sit running cinebench all day theres no point looking at ryzen. you can buy 7700ks new now for 275 so that will have a knock on effect of used prices.

To be honest the 7600k will be good for a while yet , I've got a 7600k and 7700k and there isn't much noticeable difference in games and then its maybe only in bf1 online.

The Heaven 4 single GPU results board from this very forum. Again, my 1700 and 1080ti is in position 24. A 4790K at 23 but running a TitanP. As you said gavinh87, the benchies don't lie.
What is a lie though is to constantly troll out that old rubbish about Ryzen bottlenecking GPU's.

Going back to what the OP originally asked about, just hold onto your 7600K till next year as its still a more than capable CPU and its still doing everything you need. Then by late next year you will have the Icelake (or whatever the next intel cpu is called) or Ryzen 2 to choose from if you have that upgrade itch. Just enjoy what you got!!

Doesn't change the fact that an i5, a mid range consumer cpu from 2015 is faster than ryzen you are banging on about.

I've shown that the 7600k beats even the 1800x and somehow that's not enough for you.

Ryzen 1800x is showing a GPU bottleneck i.e not able to extract the maximum performance from the GPU.
