Intel i5 3570K vs. Intel core i5 6600K

[izuzf92]

Hello, I'm wondering if there is worth upgrading from my i5 3570K 3.4 Ghz, to i5 6600K 3.5Ghz.

Many new games are starting to use directx12, and from what I've understand it depends more on the gpu?

Will there be any significant difference with this CPU upgrade, for gaming? Also I need to upgrade my motherboard IF I need a new CPU, is it worth the money?

Specs:
Intel Core i5, 3570K 3.4 Ghz
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
16 GB DDR3.

I wouldn't invest in tech that is a few generations old go with the 6600k.

I have the 3570 already, question is, is it worth upgrading?

I would say not really.

The 6600K is about 15-20% faster per clock, which is usually smaller than most people are able to perceive. Chances are pretty good you'd not be able to tell a difference between the two systems, all else being equal.

Aight, thanks!

You can go from a 2600k to a 6700k and not notice the difference in gaming.

Considering you'd need to buy a new board and RAM, no. So not worth it. That's a lot of money spent to get similar performance.

If you have a z series motherboard (z77) why not overclock it? If you're running the stock cooler you'll want a decent aftermarket cooler. That would help make up the difference in speed. You'd likely improve your clock speeds somewhere around 15-18%. It would be less expensive than buying a whole new core system, cpu, mobo, ram and reinstalling windows.

I've sent after a new Cooler, I might actually try this! Thanks!

Actually, that ONLY in benchmark and it's actually around 8-10% (Best around 15-16%). In most game or user application, 3570K actually beat out even i7 when it's less optimize for multi core.

My PC setup is now working amazingly. There is no need for a new CPU at this moment

Good to hear. Because this is marked as solved and someone came in 1mo+ after people stopped posting I'm going to close it so it doesn't get more posts 3yrs+ from now. Keep enjoying that rig. I'm on a 3770K myself and it does everything I want. For the moment.
