Is i5 4690k a good processor for gaming?
Yea
Can vouch, have one
>>51712372
>i5
No it will bottleneck you even a gtx 750ti will get bottlenecked with that weak cpu
Get i7 5690x poorfags will tell you otherwise trust me anon.
i have a 4590
it's plenty for gaming

>>51712372
Speaking as an i7 4790k owner, yes, its your best choice.
No point going skylake. Definitely not Broadwell.
Haswell Refresh is best price:performance for high end Intel CPU's.
If you're only gaming, i5 is more than satisfactory.
>>51712508
i'd say get skylake if they weren't shit but i still don't really recommend getting older generation processors. 5th generation i7s just werks
what's that about mobile cpu's?
>>51712453
if autism speaks this nigga shouted
>>51712453
>>51712728
Fucking kek thanks anons.
I have an 8320 and it runs pcsx2 at full speed, I don't need an i7 for that.
>>51712457
seconded
>>51712937
i was going to get a 4790 k for pcsx2 to over kill it for CPU demanding games but most of the list of games i don't care about. i'm torn between 4690 k and 4790k
No you need FX-9370
dx12 will be the hottest shit ever, you'll need those extra cores
>>51712457
third
>>51712453
There is no 5690X
>asking this question in the year 2015
4790k overclock it and wait for meme graphene
>>51712372
yep, overclock it to 4.5GHz easily and cruise for years.
>>51712372
Go for the i-7 bruh
>>51712937
Good luck running Metal Gear on that thing. Mine clocked at 4.6 can't cut it.
>>51712372
You need 18 cores for gaming
>>51712372
I use it for full hd gaming with gtx960 and it barely runs above 20%
I got a Skylake i5 6500 for $185 because I couldn't find a 4690k for cheaper and because they are both equally fast if you don't overclock (which I don't)
>>51712372
Almost as good as an fx 8350, so it should be fine.
Go for it.
>Tfw would be fine with a worse model but modded skyrim is making me buy a 390 for the VRAM and I can't afford the next tier of gpu.
Yes, I used to use one, it's more than enough.
I couldn't use it for too long though since I do live streaming.
>>51714506
>if you don't overclock (which I don't)
LOL
>>51712372
runs like a charm with this little beauty
http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=943
unlikely i have a medium/low budget GPU
>>51712372
It's the best value Intel offering fo sure.
>>51714639
i forgot to say that you can OC up to 4.6GHz with this cooler without pushing up the Volts. at least this is what the guides say. but i didn't need to OC yet.
LOL NO xD Get 18 core xeon if you want to gamez hard yo!!
yeh, I got one. It's okay.
>>51712453
laughed
>>51712372
Yes it is, i have it in my rig with a mid range nvidia card.
It just werks™ great
>>51712457
Fourth
>>51712453
/g/ in a nutshell
>>51712453
get a console they're designed for video games by experts, a processor like that should spend it's days compiling
Building a new rig, 4690k or 6600k? Will mostly be doing gaming, and very light photoshop and video editing
>>51715246
they are almost the same
>>51715238
>>51715246
Just go for 6600k if it's a new build
>>51712453
>People actually fell for this bait
>>51715343
And i was looking at the gtx 970, but the r9 390 seems to be the better of the 2, should i go with the 390?
Is there a significant difference between i5 and i7 when it comes to gaming?
>>51715578
depends on game and processor but no usually
>>51715578
no.
>>51715578
Not typically, since most games don't use more than 2 cores.
>>51715532
are you going to need 8 Gb GPU ? the performance is almost the same but you need to look in future and pick the right one. i dont know much about the r9 390 but at 1080p both cards are the same i guess.
>>51715661
If it helps ill be playing games like arma 3, cs:go, dota 2, witcher, they are around the same price point but i just thought the 8gb would be better then just 3.5
>>51715532
also drivers support will be better in the future for r9 390 for DirectX 12, etc. at least thats what the internet says.
>>51715661
And im looking to eventually get a second card
>>51715683
that's true. the gtx 970 uses 3.5 gb not 4gb
>tfw have the stock cooler
>CPU constantly runs crazy hot and I think it's impacting performance
I don't want to open it up and replace the cooler because I will end up fucking something up.
>>51715703
And any suggestions on Mobo's? I was thinking the Asus z170 Ar, not looking to break the bank
>>51715727
>putting a stock cooler on a Top 10 CPU
have you no shame?
>>51715728
The z170-ar is all you need.
>>51715728
i have a Gigabyte Z97P-D3, should work like a charm with AMD GPU
>>51715758
Im looking to save as much money as possible, are there any mobos thay have the same capabilities but are cheaper? & ill probably be doing some over clocking aswell
Speaking of crappy i5's. I'm not that knowledgeable about CPU's.
I have a i5 750 @ 2.67GHz.
How low end is it? It's using a really fucked up socket so I want to avoid upgrading for as long as I can.
I haven't really run into any problems with it. I can play any game I want with no issues and all the other applications I use don't tend to rely on it all to much.
>>51715821
you can overclock on the Z97P-D3 but i dont know the differences between the Z97P-D3 and the z170-ar.
you need to look it up by yourself.
i got the Z97P-D3 around 100euro,
here is everything you need to know about her
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4958#ov
>>51715821
also i5-6600K has FCLGA1151 you need to find a motherboard with FCLGA1151 socket.
>>51715857
>i dont know the differences between the Z97P-D3 and the z170-ar.
um..z97 is a haswell socket.
z170 is a skylake socket.
huge diff.
>>51715857
Its a nice mobo I recently got one and it works like a charm
>>51715936
ohh i see. the go for z170-ar if you want the i5-6600k
>>51715953
you mean the Z97P or the z170 ? i think both mobos are great anyway. it depends on what cpu you want to install.
6600k or 4690k doesnt really bother me to be honest, i just want a rig that will hit 60+ fps on most games and can do a bit of photoshop and vid editing
>>51713197
get a 6600k instead of a 4690k
>>51716062
The 6600k is worth $250'ish.
For only 4 cores vs 8 virtual cores of 4790k ($250)
Don't fall for the skymeme that hard.
>>51716007
6600k is newer technology. both cpus are great and you will have no problems on games/photoshop.
just get a beast GPU like r9 390 and you will play games like a charm for many years imo at 1080p.
just make sure that the sockets are match
>>51716106
i7-4790k = 350$.
i5-6600k = 290$.
for games/photoshop there is no reason for i7-4790k imo. the fps are the same.
in the US, you can get the 4790k for $250 at microcenter. But if you're hooked to newegg and don't care about the hard-core video editing/3d rendering, then yea, 6600k is the better choice.
>>51712372
Yes. Comes with complementary killswitch.gov though
>>51712453
Liar
>>51712372
Yes. Even for processor intensive games like Arma it's more than sufficient.
>tfw 4690k and aftermarket cooler but don't want to bother overclocking
>>51716446
faggot
>>51716112
Any like suggestions for a good budget build? Budget being like $1500 -$2000 Aud, would want to keep proces low as possible
I have this processor but I get display driver crashes on Windows 10. Anyone else with the same issue? Using the latest one does not help.
>>51716491
ouch desu
>>51716495
logicalincrements.com
Yes, no frame drops on arma
>>51716519
Thnx for all the help, greatly appreciated
>>51716495
sorry i never build a pc at 1500+$ i only build around 800-900 $. but with i5-6600k and R9 390 at 1080p you will play smooth as fuck. go watch some benchmarcks on R9 390 tho!
>>51716665
If you could suggest me a build for $800 - $900 that will run games like csgo, dota 2, easy games like that at 1080p 60+fps im all ears man
My 4790K is overkill, not saying I wished I had an i5 but I would have saved more than a couple eurobucks
>>51712372
Its a very good CPU.
>>51716820
this is mine. instead of gtx 760 you can get a MSI R9 380 4Gb. and play GTA 5 at 60 fps too.
>>51716926
this is the cooler i use
http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=943
>>51716820
http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
something like that should be fine but i am not 100% sure.
>>51716502
>>51716502
Please help, someone with 4690k and Windows 10? I'm using the on-board graphics.
>>51717154
replace the i5-4690 with i5-4690k
>>51717156
i have no idea bro. you better google that.
>>51717177
I did but the last thing I gotta go according to troubleshooting is updating BIOS.
>>51717206
fuck troubleshooting man. just ask someone with the same parts as you. if you dont know about BIOS then dont do anything stupid, you will fuck things up
Stay jelly poorfags ;))
Only richfags can game like me
>>51717300
>Gets a 980Ti with 2Gb VRam
who is the faggot ? that's wasted money, it makes me wanna cry.
Is it worth it to upgrade from an i5 3570K to an i7 6700K?
>>51712372
Skylake bends. This is a soild choice OP
>>51716155
4790k all day
>>51717376
There is no 980ti with 2gb of ram, they all have six, that application has issues reading the correct VRAM of those cards
>>51717488
then go for it
>>51715821
Get z170a krait over the ar same features for cheaper,
>>51716665
$1500 aud is like $800 us.
>>51717300
>i5
>richfag
R9 390
Do I get 1440p or 1080p?
Or do I just get 1080p and wait until pascal and 4k money?
>>51718302
1080p
>>51712372
Yes.
Just make sure your video card is good.
>>51718347
Why 1080 and not 1440?
Is 1440 mindblowingly different?
>>51712500
fifth
>>51719443
I wouldn't call any of them mindblowingly different.
390 is a 1080 card, fury is 1440 card, 4k is 2x fury.
Intel packaging is creepy, almost like an AI made it.
>>51717488
god bless microcenter, I got my 4790k instead of a 6600k because of the price they offer it at.
>>51717300
Lmao PNY cool brand mate, i see they're branching out from knockoff memory pens
>>51715985
The z97p, the holes could be a little off but it could be my case
>>51717394
Not unless you're into 3D rendering, video-editing or heavy multitasking. For gaming it'll do fine.
>>51716820
>CSGO
>DOTA 2
You might be fine with just integrated graphics, benchmarks with intel graphics 530 show people getting 60+ fps on those games.
If you want to play something newer, you could always shell out for a GPU later on, while if you buy a GPU now and don't play anything that actually requires it you'll lose money.
I've got a 7950 I bought for mining dogecoin almost 2 years ago, I haven't played anything that has actually required it besides ffxiv.
>>51712372
if you can afford another 100 just go with the latest i7
settling for an i5 just seems stupid
especially a fucking K
>>51720699
>especially a fucking K
Nothing wrong with unlocked i5's though
>>51720749
its already locked to begin with
buy a fucking i7 which has the nearest amount of maximum capabilities of the CPU series
then overclock
rather than spend money to make a cheaper CPU "better"
you must be confused
intel processors were depricated before they were even invented
> tfw AMD is permanently the best
feels good man
>>51720699
>settling for an i5 just seems stupid
You just proved you know nothing.
>>51720903
the fuck are you talking about
both i5s and i7s come in non K versions
>>51720929
go buy that pentium then anon
>its only 50 bucks!
>i can spend another several hundred to keep cooling it while running it at temps to make it competant as an i-series
>so much deal!
>>51720699
if he doesn't do any tasks that require the i7, there's no reason for him to buy one
it's also why I have no GPU, since I don't play any videogames besides visual novels and only use my i7 for a particular task that requires a high amount of CPU
I have an i5 2500k and it'll play Fallout 4 and any other game I want. I think your graphics card plays a bigger role in what you can and can't play, assuming your CPU has a memory controller on it and has more than 2 cores.
>>51712372
get a xeon for about the same price, hyper threading is more future proof
>>51720502
People are seriously getting 60+ fps on integrated graphics with CSGO? bullshit
u need the very fastest xeon for good fps
>>51721214
nope, for games overclocking is more future proof
tfw best I can afford is a 4460
>>51721378
You can get 100+ fps on a integrated GPU if playing on low (which most of the people in cs go do).
>>51721542
bleh my computer is just a waste of money
>>51721378
I believe the tests were done with a 6600k.
60+ fps on medium (1920x1080)
40+ fps on high (1920x1080)
although most people play on low, see >>51721542
lol and dota are even less demanding, so 60+ fps on max settings with those
hell, even the intel 530 manages 20-25 fps on FO4 which is notorious for being horribly optimized
What would be the dedicated GPU equivalent of the Intel HD 4600?
>>51721887
About a HD 5800 series
>>51716926
True true, and i would probably end up having them in crossfire so it wouldnt be to bad of a set up
>>51720502
Well that will be heaps better then cause ill be able to grab extra shifts and shit just while i use the intergrated graphics
Is the I5-4460 enough for gaming?
>>51721887
HD 5500 and Geforce 640.
>>51721929
Not even close to it. HD 5800s have far more resources and bandwidth at their disposal than iGPU on current Intel chips.
The i34170 is more than enough.
The "i5 is needed for gaming" is generally a meme. Very few games are well programmed to utilize 4 cores of cpu with the hyperthreading anyway.
Look at the tests done. Even a game like Witcher 3 has no fps noticeable fps gain with a i3 vs i5.
A lot of people will tell you to get i5 but don't believe them. They're just repeating an unchallenged notion.
>>51720929
He knows as much as people who claim i5 is what you need for gaming.
>>51723568
It's more than enough. Get the best i3, and get a better gpu with the 100-200$ you just saved for yourself.
>gaymen
A core i3 should be enough for your shitty games. When you grow up and want to do big boy things on your computer like CAD and 3D modelling come back and ask about processors.
Hey, is the Intel Atom N270 a good processor for gaming?
>>51724546
>Even a game like Witcher 3
Good job picking a game which is extremely light in terms of CPU usage. It's okay being poor, anon, but don't try and spin it that other people are wasting their money. You get better performance for the extra dollars.
>>51714532
You wont notice the difference on that old-ass engine, sorry to say!
I laugh at people who say their overclocked 2500k is still good for gaming. My 2500k @ 4.5Ghz fails in comparison to a 6700k in gaming. I watch youtube videos of people playing games that I play with the same GPU (980 ti) and get a ton more fps.
For example-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rg5Jvn92LU
His fps never drop below 130 and stay in the higher 100s the entire time. While me and my 2500k are sitting between 100 ~ 144 ish. I have to use DSR to from 1080p to 1440p just to get MORE fps. I can't wait to buy a 6700k when the prices drop back down. And yes my 980 Ti is overclocked to 1520.
>>51725037
>this whole post
>>51724615
Wow, where did you find that? It's one of the best value gaming processors thanks to hyperthreading, get it on friend!
>>51717488
>tfw worked at retail and got 4790k for 114 ;^)
Intel has the best deals if you work retail and go for the retail edge program.
>>51725244
And the picture didn't post rip.
I'm going to get a i3-6100. Zero fucks
>>51725037
The 6700k has 20-30% better IPC and 4 more threads. What the fuck did you expect?
>>51725311
People say that it isn't worth upgrading to. That their overclocked 2500k is just as good.
>>51716007
6600k if you're the type that will (hope to) upgrade your system in the future.
4690k if immediate pice/performance is more important.
Personally I don't upgrade my systems - I build a full system and then in 3-5 years I just replace the whole thing. I feel like upgrading single parts isn't as cost effective over time. Therefore, the system I just built is using a 4690k.
>>51724581
Im not really looking for a good GPU, and im also going to do CPU hungry stuff (Im tired of making webms that last 50 seconds in 5 minutes).
Also never going to upgrade the CPU again, maybe to a I5-4690K or a I7.
>>51725332
Because it works just fine for them?
>>51726312
I mean that they spout that it is just as good as a 6700k for gaming. They are bullshitting out of their ass.
>>51712453
