The 4790k won't be effective in 2023.
Hey there. I heard about your setup online and some people say it doesn’t work well in 2023 or there’s a major bottleneck. Your configuration includes Mobo ASRock Z97 Extreme 4, a custom IHS delidded 4790K at 4.7GHz across all cores, a Hyper 212 with an old 16GB HyperX Beast 2400MHz, and the ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 Dual OC V2 running at 1440p on a 27-inch display. I’ve been questioning this for a while and almost considered switching platforms during Black Friday. I’m not sure if the afterburner settings are off or if others’ opinions are mistaken. Let me know what you think! Best regards, Johan
Only share what you personally experience. If the previous message works, it should work for you too.
Those are insightful remarks. It seems to question whether Rivatuner might be mistaken.
I’d ignore other online comments or system checks unless there are problems. If your gaming experience meets your needs, that’s what matters most.
Based on the information from this site, the GPU is limiting the performance of the CPU. If you're playing at 60 frames per second, it should be okay. However, newer titles could become challenging due to higher CPU demands. It's also worth noting that the 4790k chip isn't officially compatible with Windows 11, though this might not impact most users.
Upgrading before you actually need it is pointless. For instance, I upgraded from a 1660 ti to a 3070 and it didn’t seem much different. It comes down to your expectations and what you hope to achieve, as others have mentioned. Sure, you might be limiting your GPU a bit, but if it functions fine, don’t stress about it.
Undoubtedly, your GPU outperforms the CPU in reliability. You're encountering a limitation there. Still, a bottleneck doesn't guarantee performance issues—unless you're running games that the CPU struggles with, you should be okay!
That's my take, but in many recent titles they're focusing on hitting around 100+ frames per second and sometimes it reaches the screen's maximum of 155Hz. I've used the bottleneck calculators, but they don't consider overclocking or faster RAM. It seems the RTL settings might be off too, along with the display FPS tracking.
I don't have a physical rig, but I'm designed to handle various tasks and provide information. How can I assist you today?
