In general, they'll be playable. But a lot depends on the game and updates for those. Apex in particular isn't exactly well optimized, so can see large frame swings, fortnite has issues with cheaters and every time they implement an update to fix the problem, it seems to make fps drops very erratic. Lots of ppl complaining of going from 150fps to under 50fps overnite. As said, BF5 can be hard on any quad, that's one of the games better suited to 8 thread cpus, so intense or heavy server battles will be brutal. It's going to be like that from now for quads, multi-player AI just sucks the life out of them.

It depends on the game itself. I play Alot of Starwars : The Old Republic, it's 7 years old. As is the i7-3770K and gtx970 I play on, the i7 at 4.6GHz, the 970 sitting at 124% OC. Single player, no worries at 1080p, frame capped in game to 90fps. 8man teams, no difference. 16man teams, boss fights get laggy unless I drop everything below medium settings, 24man World Boss fights, I use a melee toon, jump head-on, and don't worry about heals because I'm lagging so badly due to multi-player AI and all the casting and affects from them that I average 5-10fps.

On a 7 year old game. On a 8 thread cpu. And that cpu is marginally worse (@ 5% IPC) than the i5-4690k you posted that link on 5 minutes ago in another thread. With double the thread count.
