Yep, still using this. 4790K though at stock speed (no overclock).
Paired with a 3060Ti, it runs everything with high detail, including Cyberpunk in 2560x1600.
As you can see in the video, the 4790K still has plenty of headroom - it is the GPU holding things back.
As said it many times, benchmarking CPUs based on games is really schtoopid.
Things are not that cheap in the EU though, so it would cost more here.
I wonder when the i7-14700k reaches USD30 - I'm sure it won't take a decade, lol |
