i5 4460 to i7 4790

[Ninja3D]

is it worth the upgrade extra 150 dollers i do alot of 3d rendering / after effects / photoshop stuffs how much of an improvement will i see ?

If you see 100% utilization when rendering, yes, it will make a significant improvement both due to clock speed and hyperthreading. Figure in the range of 30% in CPU-bound tasks.

for gaming its not a great increase and not for 150$ but on 3d rendering it is for sure 100% worth it
if you dont have the motherboard have you considered the broadwell-E or haswell-E cpus?

It's not worth it whatsoever as long as what you're doing isn't making you any money.

The i5 is plenty fast for a smooth workflow, as long as you're not working with 4k you're good.

Make sure you got an SSD for the uncompressed caching, as well as a lot of space on the scratch drive. RAM could be important, but without knowing specifics, impossible to say.


All the best!

if the program effectively uses 8 threads.....

There's a difference between worth it and not worth it if OP isn't making any money off of it. I don't think it's worth it if OP is not making money in the process.

I'm with Suzuki here.

Will it be faster? Yes.

How much faster? A little.

well what are the programs that are being run and the rest of the system
also what about a 4690?

I certainly would not spend in excess of $200 for 300mhz / 10% clockspeed.
