Is there difference between 4Ghz and 4.5Ghz in games ?

[UnknowenMad]

I currently have my i7 4770k running at 4Ghz and i was wondering whether pushing it to 4.5Ghz will make difference in games or not
if it is going to make difference then i wanna know about how many FPS will be increased
Thanks.

Almost no difference for games.
You will get maximum ~5 more fps.

well, the best way is to check it yourself. maybe some of your games can benefit from it, if not, then just drop down to 4ghz

Not true at all, you can get anywhere from 1-15 depending on how cpu intensive the game is. Games like GTA 4 that are reliant on your cpu can boost your fps greatly. Like someone else said to a question similar to this,
"Yes, but the extent to which it improves frame-rates will depend on the game, and the relative performance of GPU. In games that tend to be CPU dependent, like BF3, assuming GPU is good enough not to limit frame-rates, then OC of CPU is likely to give a good boost. In other games, less CPU dependent, especially if system is bottle-necked, by a poor GPU, then all the CPU overclocking, in the world, will achieve little or nothing"
