i7 6700K vs i5 6600K - Still worth it in 2020 ? (Benchmark - 15 Games)

Well 7700k is still so expensive now in year 2023, it makes mores sense just to buy new stuff then even include a new cheap motherboard. It would make sense if you can find a good price 7700 or 6700 without K.

Video 3070 very expensiv Brothers????

This is not how two cpus should be compared! To test cpus currectly you should lower the resolution or settings to prevent gpu bottleneck so that both cpus can max out and reach their maximum potential. Pretty basic stuff!

I have 6600k and rtx 3060.I can upgrade to 6700k very cheap.For like 50$.Should i do it?

Quad cores are dead. Bless you AMD!

don't use NVIDIA GPUs for CPU intensive games

I can get a i5 6600k + gtx 1080 in a itx mini pc for 800 for playing emulator games only 👍😂 will it give me the needed performance?

Will performance be good with i5 6600k and GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB OC DUAL EVO ??

I have a i5 6600k
And I want to upgrade to an i7 6700k
My gpu is a gtx 1080
Good upgrade?

i have 2k monitor. i am warning you guys i had 2080ti with 6700K and i assure you if you are playing games like bf5 or cpu intensitive even gta 5, nope dont buy it! i had 50-40 fps in gta V same goes for bf in every settings. (low to ultra) its bottlnecking too much. last month i bought ryzen 9 5900X and i realised that i wasnt playing with 2080ti at all. it was like 2060 most of the time.

still rocking a 6700k, 4.5 ghz all cores at 1.28 volts. Working fine for 1080p. Will probably upgrade near future to something ryzen 5XXX series. It just needs more cores at this point, as games seem to finally be moving in that direction.

lol i test the same Games with i5 6600k and 2060, and I always have at least 15fps more than in the video here 😂 bad video

Bad tests! You should take Novigrad or Oksenfurt in Witcher 3 and walking in Athens in Assassins' Creed. Other tests maybe will be same. Didn't played. Have 6600 without K. And prozessor K could be overpowered.

Look at the 1% lows in GTA..should really show this in the graphs at the end. 6600K is just a stuttery mess in new games, 6700k is on the edge. Even if avarage framerate looks ok it still does not feel smooth. I have a 6700K my self and i think its time to upgrade.

I wonder to buy a 2070 but i have 6600k, which cpu is better (used also) to buyto avoid bottleneck?
Consider i dont want cange my mobo (z170)

Hello

This is the information and video I have been searching for so thank you ! :)

I've long had a 6600k and been looking now to start gaming on it and was wondering if it was worth upgrading to the 6700k to tie me over for a few years rather than having to upgrade the whole platform

Looking at the benchmark does confirm for me that a 6700k is a good choice. I will aim to game at 3440*1440 so hopefully less of an issue for CPU bottlenecking. However, the one thing that did catch my eye was the minimum FPS in games even at 1440p was much generally much lower for the 6600k than then 6700k and some games like GTA V showing micro stuttering which can really hurt the gaming experience. I suspect the hyperthreading does help a lot in those scenarios and given that even the 10th gen is based on the same architecture as Skylake a 6700k should see me through some time.


Many thanks once again

Hello are those stutters on the i5 6600k because of bottleneck?

I still game on a 1080p monitor and i can't stand the stutter of my i5 6600k ... It's always between 80% and 100% , I'll definitely try to find a used i7 and sell mine since i can't afford to change the mobo and cpu for now. Thanks for the video!

I'm plan on getting the 3080. But I have the i5 6600. I'm pretty sure it will be bottleneck. So what is the minimum cpu do I need for the 3080

Nice video. I'm still rocking a 6600K. I really need to upgrade my RX 580 tho. Considering a 3070.

Ah!
Love this kinda content.
i have a 7700K though.
Never gonna give up on Intel gaming...

i have a i5 6400 2,7Ghz with RX 570 8GB and i have to think update i7 6700K 4.00Ghz. Is the option good?? Hello from Spain :)

whats the voltage for 4.7ghz on your 6700k? Mine can do 4.5ghz at 1.3V but cant do 4.6ghz in less than 1,36V and it really pisses me off

hey i dont know a lot about computers but does the 6700 k work with a budget 80 dollar b450 motherboard

-- I just wanna know, im not bragging --
how is possible i'm hitting more fps than your 2070 if i ve a 980 ti zotac omega?(1440 clock speed, 8000 clock memory)
i ve also an i5 6600k 4500 mhz and i ve 2x8 hyper fury x ddr4 to 2800 mhz.. Yes i ve oc my pc but.. im hitting 135 fps avarage in Benchmark Tomb Raider, for Ac Odyssey and tw3 are similar or a bit higher, i ve cpu bottleneck(100%cpu usage and 85/90% gpu usage) so i think my gpu cannot shine as her should.

Thanks for sharing this video, I have 6600k @4.7 Ghz - 1.35v. My monitor is 1080p. I'm considering getting a new graphics card, old one is MSI RX 470 8GB. I think that sapphire 5600xt pulse edition is good and budget friendly, also we can update the bios and get nearly 5700. So what is the most suitable graphics card do you suggest for 1080p?

6700k still kicking for me

Hello I was hoping you could help me out since I can literally not find anything on RTX 2070 Super and i5-6600k rigs.
This is my current rig:


CPU: i5-6600k 3.50GHz
GPU: nVIDIA GTX 980
MOBO: Asus z170-a
RAM: 16GB Hyper-X
HDD: 1TB Seagate
SSD: 250 SSD BX
O.S: Windows 10
PSU: Corsair CX 750
CASE: Corsair Carbide 200R


I am hoping to upgrade to an RTX 2070 Super and a Thermaltake 3.0 120mm water cooler for my cpu, but I don't know if I should do this upgrade as I fear the i5-6600k will be a bottleneck. I currently run it on stock but I am planning on OC-ing to about 4.5 GHz.
Seeing your video, I can clearly tell that you get over 60 fps with almost any game on Ultra so I was wondering if the same would be applicable to me if i upgrade from my 980 to RTX 2070 super. I should say that most of the time I won't even have some settings on like MSAA, Motion Blur, and I usually use Medium settings for extra settings like vegetation and shadows.. My current setup is fine i can run stuff on Medium but BF:V is really terrible, even on Medium i get like 40-50 fps i think thats because i havent OC'd my CPU at all though.


My question is do you think the i5-6600k would bottleneck the RTX 2070 Super, or could I play smoothly 60+fps on any title.
Also, what do you think my chances are of running Modern Warfare (multiplayer not warzone) on a 144hz monitor. I understand I will probably have to sacrifice settings to medium and stuff but do you think I could get that if i i upgrade to 2070S,


Sorry for the long message :D

I've been waiting on this video. Finally it's here! Thank you :)
