I test the newest 6th Generation Core i7 6700K processor against its closest competition — other Intel CPUs. If all you want to do is game though, which one is best? Skylake 6700K, Haswell 4790K or Haswell-E 5930K?
I benchmark all 3 with an EVGA GTX 980 Ti to find out.

I want to build a gaming rig and my budget is $1200 please help
Straight answering the title question: None, i7s are a no-brainer for gaming rigs. For a new setup, the i5-6500 or i5-6600 is the way to go. Don’t buy an i7 for gaming only, folks – it’s a waste of money, inform yourself or just trust me..
Sth. similar goes for the mainboard: If you don’t plan on OCing the CPU and/or don’t even know how this goes, get a mainboard with an H- or B-Chipset, eg. the Gigabyte GA-B150-HD3P is a good choice, don’t pay money for a Z-chipset, you don’t get more performance out of a mainboard! Well, the overclocking ability isn’t the only difference of a Z-chipset, but for the majority it’s the only meaningful. The rest should know what to look after. 😉
does anyone know were i can find some cheap ddr4 ram . thanks
Yeas why would you NOT correct the title I clicked on this video expressly for that 4790k comparison
I dont recall sending you a link…
ermagerd a skip ad button thats not on a utube ad ;OOOO this is AMAZING annnnnnd its gone
Dont get it, the topic says 4790k but in the video 4770k?
should i buy i7-5930K or stay my amd fx 8350 shit fps on dishonored 2 and fallout 4?
hey man u know where to find a z77? if not:
thinking of an upgrade from a i5 2500k to a skylake i5. dont really need the over clock but want to game at 1080p smoothly.. any suggestions?
Does i7 6800k with gtx 1080 good for gaming for about 5-10 years as I can’t upgrade my pc again and again I have to continue with it what I have
thumbs up for that skip ad notation
Can you test the 7700k at 5.0ghz and ram at 4266mhz compared to haswell and skylake at 4.4ghz and howmuch of an fps boost It will provide at 4k?
I’m about to upgrade from a fx 8350 to a 6700k would I see at least 8 frames better performance I’ve got a 980 ti sc as well?
your new cup ran at 4.4ghz ? LOL
My Amd cup runs at 5.17ghz on all 8 cores.
and my cup is a later model compare to those new ones,
and by the way the amd cup I got this what they say to set for default.
i have a 7700k lol
Go to 6:08 for the benchmarks
I just need to know.. Simple answer… 1151 or 2011-3? Mostly gaming. EVGA is sending me a replacement board and its a x99 FTW K. I already have a z87 FTW. Is it worth upgrading the CPU and RAM for the new board? Just simply put please.
The “Skip Ad” annotation was a nice touch
kabylake gen 7 i3 releasing shortly.
make a video on it pls
Im just getting mine premade by an expert
I have a 4790k 4.0ghz with a 980 FE. I’m gonna go for either a 1080 sc or ROG strix. Which is better. Also the new 7700k i7
what kind of fps would I get on overwtch?
ad skip <3<3<3
Fake. Nothing’s better than my 4-bit Intel 4004.
Fucking spaz
Some one do a test between 4770k oc at 4.4 and 4790k on turbo boost
I wanted to know about 4790k.
I think you can still change the title by going to the Video Manager
longevity – which would last the longest without having to upgrade/update to new cpu?
