Please show me at 4K what i will gain by tweaking my 3600 C14 samsung
I am stupid for not doing it apparently
If there is no CPU gains at 4K what does tweaking ram give you at 4K ? I am going to guess ....zilch
You'll gain knowledge about what cpu you should get depending on how long you wanna keep it.
It's about trying to know if your cpu will still be fine in 6 years with a RTX6070 or not. If the 50€ more for the k might be worth it or not.
Or if you go vr, if the 10700k might even be a good choice if you hate building a new system and would like to spend more now (not ridiculously much as for an i9) to just swap graphics cards for the next decade.
It's a bit like with my 2600k vs the 2500k's of 3 friends of mine.
Guess who had playable fps at 60 fps/Hz vsync in novigrad in the Witcher 3?
Right, me, because of hyperthreading and oc.
And who do you think didn't have playable fps in the Witcher 3 although he had hyperthreading?
One of my friends who wanted to save some money and bought the 2600 non-k back in 2011.
The difference in pricing was a lot different back then though. Much closer together!
And ofc it might be a "better" upgrade path to just spend less now and buy a new mobo + cpu (+ddr5) in 3-4 years instead of spending too much in relation now and hang on for the last drop in your old cpu in 8 years, like I'm doing right now
Mentioned friends are now on 8700k, 9600k, 2700x, 4790k and one poor chap still plays on his 2500k. He would be able to spend the money but he rather bought a Mac book.
