Don't be silly, they came out at pretty much the same time. That wouldn't hold it back lol.

If your getting the same performance with a 7790 and a rx480 I would imagine there is something else limiting your performance.

Yeh i missed the most obvious test opened Task Manager CPU is pretty much sitting at 99% =(

It's only 8 years old, it has so much life left =(

You can get 3.6 from that chip easily enough, well, depending on the mobo you have. I had mine at 4.0 for a while but it ran at 3.6 nicely.

Can't you overclock it?

My cpu is 7 years old and if I have to go back to stock or accidentally go back to stock there's a huge hit in games.

Unfortunately your system is now past it's best. Time for an upgrade or a serious overclock. Even with an overclock your system will be the problem. Just about there myself but the I7 920 was a seriously good chip.

I could but the CPU Fan is already a jet engine I honestly don't dare.

You could get a 120mm fan heatpipe cooler to overclock on for £20 if you're on a stock cooler.
