[SOLVED] i5-4670 or 4590?

[hephaistos]

Sooo, I am upgrading from the i5-4590T, to a better cpu ,which won't bottleneck the 1060 3gb, and is really in the budget range. I found these cpus for the same price what do you guys suggest I get for gaming?

The 4670 is slightly faster.....but I don't think you will see much difference either way.

You won't see a difference in performance between the two. Get whichever is cheaper.

if you have a laptop i dont think its a good ideo to replace the cpu for that little difference, if you have a desktop then replace it the 4670 is better but think of getting something newer such as the i5-6400 or and i7 4770

Will any of them bottleneck the 1060?

Will they push as many frames as say a 9900K with the 1060, unknown since the 1060 3GB isn't a high end card. But they will get a lot more performance out of the 1060 than you currently can.

They won't be a terrible pairing. You may run into some cpu limitations depending on the game and settings.

On low settings, your cpu may limit your GPU.
On high settings your gpu may limit your cpu.

How much difference will I approx notice, compared to this one? Btw, I think I am going with the 4590.

4590 is 100mhz slower thann the 4670 theoretically, but ther will be little difference at all. They should perform slightly better than your current 4590t.
What cooler are you using? The 4590t has a 35w tdp and the 4590 or 4670 an 84w tdp. You may need to upgrade cooling.
