I5 to 4790K/Ryzen 5/7?

[Ds9Defiant1701]

Hi,

I am frequently at 100% usage on my 4690K since i frequently use sony vegas 13 and i host non-dedicated Ark Server so it get my CPU usage to 100% and i get some FPS drops when i host in Ark and the encoding time in Vegas is really long.

So i was thinking to go 4790(350), or 4790k(403) or Ryzen 7(600 with all component change)

Thanks for help

Get the 4770, great deal.

Just an off-the-wall solution here ... since you seem to have enough resources to begin with, why not think about shelling out to a VM or two?
You should be able to shell out the ARK Server to a 1 core VM, shell out Sony Vega 13 to a 2 core VM, and game on the remaining core. You shouldn't take any FPS hits on your game because it now has 1 core dedicated to it and nothing else will take up that space.

My personal machine is a 4790K w/32GB Ram and I run VMWare VMs all the time without affecting my gaming cores. It's really kind of cool when I divvy it up to 3 VMs and 1 physical, log into the same game under 4 separate accounts ... LOL

A 1 core VM won't be enough, you'll want a more stable experience. 2-3 at least imo.
Regardless its a pain to setup, and easier just to let the CPU itself auto allocate these tasks.

Odd ... I've never found them difficult to set up at all. Regardless, you may very well be correct that 1 core may not be enough for the experience. Makes those 8/16 Ryzen cores look pretty tempting doesn't it ... LOL

Problem is the cost of the upgrade, easily tacks on another $300ish plus the cost of the CPU in Canada ($400).

Yea, that's the downside.
