How much longer will a 4770K @ 4.4Ghz remain a viable CPU for gaming?

Hi everyone,

I understand that no-one has a crystal ball, but I was wondering how long you think my 4770K at 4.4Ghz should be OK for gaming (1440/60p) if I were to keep upgrading the GPU every year or two. The GPU upgrades would be xx80ti (or equivalent should the naming convention change).

Basically, how long does it take for a current top-end GPU to become bottle-necked by the CPU in more of a nutshell :-)

Many thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

Thank you very much for all taking the time to reply.

I have been thinking about handing this PC in question down to my son as he is now about to start high school and was hoping that it would last him the next 4 years or so as a gaming machine and also for school work; from all of your answers it seems like it will do him fine with a xx80ti hand-me-down in a couple of years.

Many thanks again and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
