i7-4790k better than i7-7700k ??

[Own_1]

so i just upgraded from an i7-4790k to an i7-7700k
and from 1600mhz ram to 3000mhz ram , so i benchmarked my new cpu and here are the scores (btw this is my own benchmark in cs go)

on the i7-7700k = 950 avg , 217 minimum
on the i7 -4790k = 1500 avg , 650 minimum

how is this possible ?
even thought i tried other benchmarks and all of them tell me that the kaby lake chip is better but for some reason i get lower fps in cs go ???? help ?

I'll stick to my 4790K. Very little improvement is seen from the 4790K and DDR3 versus the 7700K and DDR4.

Clock-for-clock, the 6700K/7700K are 6% faster than the 4770K/4790K.

 

[valeman2012]

how about a real benchmark instead of cs go?

hahah

I think the same i showed legitment chart of FX9590 beating a Ryzen 7 CPU in a game at lowest settings

_
Intel i7 7700K is no doublt faster overall than 4790K

While true, I wanted to upgrade, but it isn't worth it as I nor anybody for that matter will gain much of an edge. In order for me to upgrade to a 7700K, I must also upgrade the MoBo and RAM, which will total to well above $500 for a small increase in performance. Simply put, those with a 4790K should stick to it, as it is still one of the more famous older gen processors purchased to this day. I have seen gaming comparison tests between the two (NOT benchmarks), and there are few FPS gained from upgrading. One thing that KIND OF pleases my eyes is that in most cases, the 7700K seems to have a stabler temperature consistency rather than random spikes produced by the 4790K. I lucked out with a 4790K capable of achieving extremely high clocks at decent temperatures and voltages, but am one of the many that has that one wonky core that likes to ride and spike into temps above the rest when not overclocked.

Yeah, I don't think it's worth upgrading.

Btw, what's your GPU?

They are about 6 to 12 percent faster depending on the application.

Ok, they're 6% faster than them on average.

Upgrade only when pcie 4.0 comes out. Keep the 4790k amd overclock it slightly till then

 

[Brandon Willis]

Anyone doing this upgrade, feel free to send me your old, useless 4790K for cheap I'll gladly take it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

simply put the 4790k is the king of 4 core processors by intel and the stupid 5% improvement promised by intel only accounts for 5% higher prices with a higher clock speed, and a quad core more built towards low end pro work lol. Devil's Canyon is still king!

If you upgraded your components i assume you done a fresh install. Did you change power options in windows control panel to high performance? It could be something as simple as that.

I recently upgraded, well i just built myself a new rig but it wasn't just for the speed I would get from the CPU but the advancements to USB 3.1, newer M.2, DDR4 just to name a few.

How does USB 3.1, newer M.2, and DDR4 make it a worthwhile upgrade? You know you can get all that on Z97 except for DDR4 right? You just have to get the PCI-E cards.

You fools! (he laughs), so here is my out of the box 7700K experience: I put 7700K in Maximus code IX...I put AIO on 7700K. I put DD4 RAM on mobo and hook up psu and monitor to mobo. I install WIN10 and and AI Suite. I push the shiny red OC button. My mobo OCs 7700K to 5100 mhz stable at 30 degrees idle. Any questions? Kaby Lake is a MONSTER chip for easy on the board OCing. If you want to try me in firestrike, Timespy, Cinebench, let me cut to the chase and tell you what will happen. My stock mobo OCed chip will eat your chips lunch. tata now. So sorry.

Don't be coy, post em up.

How bout a follow while you look? lol <3

 

[theonerm2]

I wanted to see the Firestrike, Timespy, and Cinebench scores. 🙁 Too bad they're not posted. It's not like they matter much anyway though. Real world tests are better.

I'll get em up one sec.

Bear in mind those or JUST on included one step OC' no addition overclocking pushing the limits by me, and on air cooling. I upgraded to these components cause I'm gonna do my first full custom watercooling loop, so these scores won't be my highest. <3

 

[sdmf74]

To upgrade soley for cpu speed increase may not be worth it but I upgraded for the extra pcie/HSIO lanes that kaby lake offers as well as DDR4, better M.2 compatibility x2, better overall motherboard, much better onboard audio, RGB expandibility, water pump pwm headers etc.I will also have the option to invest in larger optane drives if they release in time.
My DC hit a wall at 4.8ghz, My KL reaches 5.0 easily & even 5.1ghz stable with a jump in voltage, neither delidded

http://www.3dmark.com/spy/2052503 There's my timespy score. I can still overclock further on my CPU. My GPU might be maxed out on the oc but I'm not sure yet. So if there was ever proof that you don't need to necessarily upgrade from 4770K/4790K this might be it unless you want to upgrade for the new motherboard features or something like that.
