i5-4670k vs i5-4690k gaming

[EV_Creeper]

Just wondering if there is any noticeable difference in FPS, mainly on CPU bound games like Skyrim, Planetside 2, Arma 3, Minecraft and others like that... I'll be pairing it with a Gigabyte GTX 970, I am thinking about K versions so I can overclock in the future. But at stock clocks, is there a noticeable difference?

PS I know there are many threads of this, bit no one really gave me the answer I want..

The 4690k is the refresh model of the 4670k.

It has better thermals, power consumption, and uses better TIM under the heatspreader.

There is no reason not to get the 4690k over the 4670k.

I think the 4690k also has an additional 100Mhz-200Mhz boost at turbo.

Actually, in my country is $400 pesos more expensive (like $30 dollars)

Yes, it does. But does it have a big impact in FPS?

They are virtually identical, the short answer is go with which one is cheapest. There is no way that picking one of these cpu's over the other one will result in 1 fps more or less in an actual game. What will make a difference is overclocking, and remember that that is the luck of the draw. each individual cpu made will be able to OC to a different amount. The only difference in performance is 100mhz, which is insignificant. Price is the only distinguisher here.

I would take the 4690k for the 30 bucks, but that comes down to your call.
They tend to run cooler and OC better overall, but if you need to save some money feel free to go for the 4670k, you wont lose much in the tradeoff.

If they were the same price I would go for the 4690k, but at $30 you might as well go for the 4670k.
