Re-visited , interesting video.

TLDR: 11% Faster clock for clock +2 cores DDR3 vs 4 + IPC. @ 1080p

It's obviously a much bigger improvement than a few percent it's got 50% improvement from the core count alone.

This just shows that an overclocked 4770k is good enough for a 1080ti and anything faster doesn't make much difference. Which is why I got the 8400 it's plenty good enough for a 1080ti so wasn't much point getting anything faster.

In gaming only 11% on current games with 2 additional cores, ipc and ddr4 vs 3.

Give it a faster card and watch the lead increase. As previously said, all this shows is both are capable of pushing a 1080ti.

Upgrading from anything haswell onwards is a costly affair & low ROI due to GPU limitations.
By the time newer/future GPU's are no longer weighted as the bottleneck, we will have an i7 11700k or whatever and the GPU will probably be the bottleneck, it's never ending and there's never a good time to buy unless your system can't do what you want it to do. ∞

So glad hardware unboxed did this video . Perspective is all we need cutting through the noise and getting to the facts pre-purchase.

Yeah but that's the limit of the 1080ti.

If you compare the 8400 @3.8 to the 4770k @4.8 it has 25% less clocks and 25% less threads and still beats it.

Fairly big jump in performance IMO
 
@DarrenM343 im holding out as long as i can, no real need to upgrade, but the upgrade itch is getting harder to scratch. i may bite on the z390 8c16t if rumours are to be believed lol

1440p results abysmal , good thing i'm on 1440 , will be keep 4790k for lil bit longer .

Im guessing at 4k im gonna be keeping my CPU for a good while longer also, i guess sumone needs to figure out how to make more cores equal more frames in games so it forces us to upgrade :)
 
Glad I found this, been getting tempted to upgrade my machine from my 4770k which will go 4.5ghz happily

Seems the old girl has life in her yet
 
Starting to find the limits of the 4670k at 4.4ghz in a couple games even at 4k with 1080ti.

Wondering if I should just get a 4790k and upgrade ram rather than a whole upgrade.

what speed RAM you currently running? I am on 2400 and there is a noticeable boost over the 1600mhz i used to run

2x sets of this - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...nnel-kit-tlred38g2400hc11cdc01-my-061-tg.html

I have yet to find something that the 4770k really struggles with tbh, hence being dubious on upgrading other than "I haven't done it in a while" lol

I'm still on 8gb of 1600mhz.

Thinking 16gb of 2400mhz and a 4790k would tide me over another year or 2?
