hi i have the 4770k right now is it worth to update my 4770k in 8700k or 9900k??

i am playing only games..

or is better to wait in 3 years when concoles comes then to take the decision to update my 4770k?

do you believe that 4770k will hold me for 3 years from now?? for pc games?

can you tell me what to do please?/

will i see improvents in games if i update my 4770k which is overclocked in 4.5 on fps to 8700k or 9900k?

do you believe that most games needs 6 or 8 cores now?
and what do you believe when ps5 comes in 3 years how much the games will be demading in cpu??

how many fps will i get if i update my 4770k to 8700k or 9900k?

Wait for 9700k , don't bother with 9900k, 8 cores is a nice upgrade over the 4 but hyper threading won't do much for most games, and ones like Battlefield will be happy enough with 8 cores running 5.3ghz maybe more.
Chip is soldered too which will help with heat !
Z390 are week 40-42 launch but will cost more the. Z370 counterparts (basic z390 Aorus is 12 phase or 6 doubled etc)

Key thing you'll be gaining is speed , and then the extra cores when games become better optimised for cores and they are .
If they can clock 5.3ghz under basic Water .. you'll be gaining almost a 1ghz over your current but timings that over 8 cores :)
 
you mean that my 4770k will not last for pc games for 3 years from now??

until now i didnt have problems with my latest games with my 4770k./

my 4470k is 4.5 oc./

do you believe that the best thing is to wait when the next gen of consoles come out? i mean an that time do you believe that it will be the best update to 4770K??

i have 16 giga now./. for memory i mean

because some people have told me to wait when the next gen of consoles come out

what you would to in my position??if you had wright now one 4770k .. would you upgrade??

If your PC is working fine i wouldnt bother updating it for the sake of it, what GPU are you using? Its normally more of an upgrade to change GPU first.
 
but some people told me that 4770k will have bottlenech in any games with the new gpu cards.. i dont know if it is true.

look now i have one 780 gtx and also i have one monitor lg flatron m2794d.

but in the next months i will buy new monitor and also my problem is which gpu to buy
because i see a,lot of negatives for the rtx .honestly i dont know what to do in the gpu ..

some people told me to buy 1080 ti ,, some another people told me to see the benchmarks for the rxt 2080 and 2080ti
and some another people told me to buy 2080 no rtx..

i am very confused and i dont know what to buy and what to think..
also i dont know if i can stay with my 780 for 2 years more and how the games will run with 780 .


also i want to buy and i saw a lot of positive reviews for the monitor
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/ali...8dw/apd/210-amsv/monitors-monitor-accessories

and i dont know if 780 will can connect with this kind of monitor
myabe this monitor wants more power like 1080 ti and 2080 and more..

#for these reason i want to help me what to do and how to [proceed.

With those clock speeds it's not much of bottleneck at the moment.
But unless you'll minimize number of background software four cores is certainly starting to be some limits causing in increasing number of games in coming years.

Since Haswell only Skylake has had some actual architectural per clock performance improvement.
Everything after that has been tweaking up clock speeds and then adding more cores to answer Ryzen.
"9th" generation being no exception.
Intel's first actually improved architecture CPUs in years are in "development hell" of Intel's 10nm node.
So AMD has some actual chances to take performance crown from Intel in most things with 7nm Zen2 at winter/spring.

Before anything else would update monitor from that medieval resolution one.
2560x1440 is by now mimimum for any kind "high end".
Increase of resolution would also move processing power demand more toward graphics card from CPU.
(CPU does same amount of work per frame regardless of resolution, GPU's workload scales 1:1 with number of pixels per frame)

Though even for 2560x1440 you won't really need excessively priced luxury cards.
And would expect next year and half see GPUs have same kind of heating up of competition than CPUs have had inside fair year.
Which likely makes expensive graphics card bad in keeping their value.
 
I'd pick up a used 1080Ti for around £500! 2080Ti is going to cost a bomb! And ray tracing will eventually be awesome i think, just not on these first cards to support it!

Once you've got the new GPU installed check your performance, if you find your 4770K bottlenecking it upgrade to a 9700K! If your serious about that monitor then you'll need some serious GPU horsepower to push good framerates and that 780 sure doesn't have it!
 
so to buy 1080 ti or to buy 2080 no rtx?

will i have bottleneck in 3440x1440 with 100hz monitor panel?? with my 4770K??

someone told me this//?? is it true??

and he told me for to not have bottleneck he told me to buy 8700k

also he told me
as for the cpu, 4770k will do fine at 2560x1440 or 3440x1440 60Hz, but for 100Hz you're gonna want the 8700k, would be a shame to bottleneck such powerhouse of a GPU like 1080ti or 2080. 60 fps to 100 fps is a huge improvement, to me it's on par with 30 fps to 60 fps, though 60 is still very playable to me.



if you're getting 1080ti/2080 and 100hz display now, they you'd better not wait 3 years with upgrading cpu.
you're definitely hampering performance of a 1080ti on a high refresh display in some of them. how much is hard to say, it will vary from game to game. it's worth mentioning that fps is not the only factor, when cpu usage is high you're likely to see stutter. that's why it's worth switching from 4c/8t to 8 physical cores.

all these things he told me is it true?

can you help me please??

My Advice,

if you are going to buy a 1080ti \2080 regardless get it try it and see for yourself in the games you play, you can do that while waiting for the Intel 9000 series to land then make a decision on what CPU you want to go for at that point if you feel you need one.

The one thing to consider with a 4770k for me would be more the chipset features if you want to run things like NVMe/m.2 Drives etc in future I would doubt your current mobo supports things like m.2 x4.

Also note if you do upgrade CPU you will need Mobo, CPU, and Memory the 4770k will use DDR3 not DDR4, so budget around £800 for that
 
Wait for the 2080 review to see if theyre good, if they are better than the 1080ti then buy a 2080 and your new monitor. When the 2080 reviews come out compare some of their game benchmarks against your computer, if they get much more FPS or can run at much higher settings than your self then you might want to upgrade Mobo/CPU/Ram.

This way you might have access to the 9900k because it might be available by then.
 
my question is will i have bottleneck in 3440x1440 with 100hz monitor panel?? with my 4770K?? if i buy one 1080 ti or 2080??

this i want to know./
 
do you believe that my 4770k will last for 3 years??

but why some people told me that i will have bottleneck in 3440x1440 with 100hz monitor panel?? with my 4770K?? ?? and why they told me that 8700k is better for 3440x1440 with 100hz monitor panel?

and also why they told me as for the cpu, 4770k will do fine at 2560x1440 or 3440x1440 60Hz, but for 100Hz you're gonna want the 8700k, would be a shame to bottleneck such powerhouse of a GPU like 1080ti or 2080. 60 fps to 100 fps is a huge improvement, to me it's on par with 30 fps to 60 fps, though 60 is still very playable to me.??

try looking at some vids like this

And remember the higher the resolution you go the more chance the GPU will bottleneck over the CPU.

are the people that told you all this also people trying to sell you anything? :)

as for you 3 year question I don't think anyone can predict what you will want in the next 3 years so you need to answer that yourself.

from these video that you saw me i see that 8700k and 4770k doesnt have big diference and the most importand role has the gpu am i corect?

There's only one actual step in architecture between those CPUs with rest being clock speed difference.
So even if GPU weren't bigger bottleneck in most demanding games there wouldn't be any bigger differences.
(at least untill games load heavily more cores than 4770K has)
For its resources Intel basically slowed CPU development to near standstill.
