Worth it to upgrade to i7 7700k from 4670k?

[imnotagamer007]

Game wise, would it be worth it to upgrade? I'm wondering about frames per second increases specifically.

Not at all, your CPU is only about 15-20% worse in terms of performance, still top of the line, especially if you have an OC on it.
Don't worry.

Simply said no it's not worth it. From Sandy Bridge I would say yes but haswell not really. I'd wait for upgrades till you really need one.

Depends on the game engine. The jump from an i5 to an i7 can make a big difference in some games.

you would gain in cpu processing power doing that , but only you know if the cost in money if its worth it ? if you got money to burn then why not ?

''I'm wondering about frames per second increases specifically''

that can depend on a lot of things ? gpu used ? game / program optimization ?

like here
[ Number of GPUs = 1]

i7 7700 /gtx 970

top single card score = 10828

http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/fs/P/2183/982/500000?minScore=0&cpuName=Intel Core i7-7700&gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

i5 4670 / gtx 970 top score single card = 10771

http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/fs/P/1614/982/500000?minScore=0&cpuName=Intel Core i5-4670&gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970


now a new build cost there don't look too worth it just for a example

I used non k CPU so cpu overclocking don't influence the scores seing that can be super random in results

now with a 7700 and a gtx 1080 = top score 18406

http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/fs/P/2183/1085/500000?minScore=0&cpuName=Intel Core i7-7700&gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

and the 4670 and 1080 = top score 15260

http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/fs/P/1614/1085/500000?minScore=0&cpuName=Intel Core i5-4670&gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

so you gain some there but worth a new 600$ cpu and board + os and what ever ?? your call


with the 4k firestrike ultra test not much change there [single gpu]
