Hey /g/, I have a 4690k myself and a friend of mine keeps flaunting

>>56626037
No, an I3 would have been enough too, lol.

Personally would have gotten an fx 6300 or 8320 instead though, they were still competitive enough against haswell.

4690k will last you a while, it's a solid CPU.

I had a G3258 OC'd to about 4.8 before my 4690K, which is quite superior to an i3 as far as I can tell, but yeah. Kinda what I thought.

No an overclocked g3258 can't even compete with an i3, it's not superior in any way.

Some newer games will even refuse to load with the pentium because it's dual core. The I3 has hyperthreading at least.

Don't listen to this anon. They posted one of the only games to take advantage of hyperthreading. Meanwhile... 99% of the rest of gaming will see benefit from a 3258 instead. Pic related.

HAHAHAHA

Both CPUs have the same level cooling difficulty. Not hard at all. I myself own a 4690k with a friend of mine owning a 4790k and we both hover around 60-65c while gaming. 4790k has no more benefit to gaming than a 4690k but when it comes to video rendering they'll have the advantage. Your friend also sounds pretty fucking retarded to flaunt technically "old generation" hardware. If he wanted to flaunt something he'd get a $1000 i7 or something.

>>56626283
I used to own a G3258 and come on now, you picked the one game where the i3 really shines because it's hyperthreaded and BF4 is heavily multithreaded....

MOST other games like 95% of them, a g3258 near 5 ghz always was superior. A good build for poorfags for sure since a single thread on a g3258 was comparable to a 4790k single thread at the same clockspeed.

If intel released and unlocked i3, it just might become competitive enough that it would be the new i5. I'm sure i5 sales would suffer horribly.

>>56626495
Follow the link you fucking idiot, there's more than one game.

>>56626510
Durrrr of course there more than one tucking game you Autist.... point is, for MOST FUCKING games the Pentium came out in top.

Fuck you.

>>56626548
Better in Fallout 4? Far cry 4? GTA V? Witcher 3? Shadows of mordor? Any title after 2014?

>>56626587
You're wasting your time, anon. Let these idiots buy a G3258 if they want to. It's fun to laugh at them later.

>AMD shit CPUs that get beat by an i5 2500 are competitive with haswell.

Fx6350 was better than Ivy bridge and sandy bridge I3 processors.

Fx8320 could outperform an i5 4460 and cost less.

How does a 2500k at 4.7Ghz stack against these cpus?

Most popular games are extremely GPU reliant so you aren't going to notice a huge difference with those games.
When it come to games and anything else that relies heavily on the CPU you are going to see a difference.
That's why you can get away with running some crappy CPU with a good GPU for most games, not all though.
The i7 will show why it costs more with any CPU intensive task.
I went for the i7 because I like flight simulators and I do a decent amount of video encoding other CPU heavy things and when you do that kind of stuff you notice a big difference.
I went from an FX8350 to the 4790k and the difference is huge anytime something wants to really use the CPU.

>4690k at 4.8ghz with 1.369v
>43 celsius
Holy shit what magic is this? Full retard custom loop with 2 480mm rads?

>>56627827
meanwhile my 2600K does 4.5GHz at 1.265v and still runs hotter (60-70 full load, maybe 70-80 if you run some sandy-killer FFTs through it)
