Question I7 3770K vs I7 3770

[CzarCzech]

It's different in performance between the I7 3770 and I7 3770K@Stock ?

Nope, no difference in performance.

 

[CzarCzech]

Nope, no difference in performance.

I want to upgrade to I7 but I7K cost the 3900 and I7 cost 2800 and i have Z77 motherboard co what is more better for price/performance

 

[Remeca]

Nope, no difference in performance.

I disagree. There is a difference in performance, although small. The K has higher base clock and is better binned. I don't know what currency OP is talking about, but the difference in price isn't worth the the performance gain unless they're going to be overclocking

So you're looking at $120 for the non K, and $170 for the K. I'd have a hard time recommending anyone spend that much on just a CPU that old, in either case. If you're using an i3 or i5 and really want that extra performance, and you can't wait and save up for a complete new cpu/ram/mobo, either one would be a step up. Don't spend the extra for the K though unless you're going to overclock. Also make sure your current cooler is sufficient to handle an I7, especially if you're going to be overclocking.

Now i have I5 3570K Stock

That's still a competent CPU, I don't think an I7 is the best use of funds in your situation, you're only looking at about a 20% increase in performance, in multithreaded applications. That i5 should hold you out until you can save up enough for a Ryzen system or something that will give you a much larger performance gain for not much more, especially in the used market.

Full AMD set is about 215€

Start saving, it's money much better spent than on an 8 year old used processor on a dead platform. This coming from someone with a non K 4770.

Can wait for the R5 4000 gen? I think it would be better spend

 

[Remeca]

It won't be cheaper obviously, but sure, if you saved up and waited for that, that would certainly be worth the upgrade for the performance gain.

But it still I5 3570k enought for 60hz gaming?

 

[Remeca]

At 1080p in most games, depending on your GPU.

Gtx 1060 6gb

 

[Remeca]

Yeah, that should be plenty. Some AAA games you may have to turn down the graphics a little, but on eSports games like fortnite, Csgo, etc 60fps should be easy.

For the GTX 1070 is recommended I5-6500 and with I5 3570K they have very identical performance i read

There isn't any difference between those particular CPUs the OP mentioned.
There is differences in performance in some other K an non-K CPUs counterpart since their clock speeds differ.
There is just 100MHz difference with the same TDP and that doesn't even make a difference in benchmarks let alone in real world scenarios.
You might see a difference on the 6700 and 6700K for example, where the Non-K has 3.40 GHz stock with 4.0 GHz Turbo Frequency (65W) and the K 4.00 GHz stock Turbo Frequency 4.20 GHz (91W)
That will be a 600MHz and 26W higher and that will yield a bit of performance most seen on benchmarks.

There is a bit on stock but not worth the price.

If you considering doing OC, there is a difference cuz you can OC k version to 4.4 ghz with a little effort. You can get even to 4.7ghz with good chip and cooling.

While I am a fan of the 3770K and I got a long life from the 3770K in my main rig, I'd be hard-pressed to consider it worth the money to jump to a 3770/3770K when you already have a 3570K. Especially considering you have the ability to overclock your 3570K a bit as well. The money will be better used to save up towards a more significant platform update.

 

[toniplavna]

Agree. I have the 3770k, its a good cpu but its overpriced and not worth the money now when you have ryzen cpus.

Words of wisdom.

Since you have Z77 mobo, you can go up high 4.1 ghz on all cores with the non K i7 3770. So the K doesn't really worth the extra money. I have gone far higher at 4.4 all core with my non K but i don't recommend it to anyone cause i ve tweaked base clock speeds and it took me large effort to make it stable.
I agree with the rest of the guys, better save up and go to a fresh platform.
