In this video, we're taking a look at the Intel i7-4790K CPU. This CPU is known as the King of Gaming back in 2014. This CPU was revolutionary in its record-breaking 4.0 GHz Base Clock which was significantly faster than Intel's lineup at the time. We hope you enjoyed this brief history lesson on this gaming beast, let us know, do you think that you could still game on this CPU.

Okay cool, I still have a number of customer running these processors without too many issues, however they generally have to be at 1080p for the game to run is that the same with you or are you able to run at higher resolutions with this platform? Anyways thank you so much for watching!

I'm still running an older I7-4790 (non-K flavour) but all core clock locked to 40X and running 105 on BCLK which gives around 4200MHz all core while gaming. And I have no issues at all running higher resolutions, but it have it's drawbacks, like an overall lower FPS when compared to newer units using the same GPU (GTX1080) and the much slower RAM, as it is really hard to find those mitical 2133MHz DDR3 sticks (at least where I live)

I remember blowing my entire part time job monthly salary on that CPU in mid 2015 and only had money left for basic transportation to and from work. I still have zero regrets on doing it at that time. I sold it in 2017 tonget Ryzen as I was caught up in the hype. What a mistake I made. I do have 2 of them for testing and overclocking (delidded) and I am fairly confident to say that, if i hadn’t sold my own in 2017, i would probably still use it to this day. (Not running ryzen anymore, i finally got rid of it).

@@mattscomputerservices i am currently running an i9 10850K underclocked and undervolted. And once i did that, i am looking at up to 65% less power draw for under 10% less performance. I can explain it if you sant to know about it. Ironically, it once went on a price cut due to 11th gen being released, so i paid less for the 10850K than I did for the 4790K (2850DKK vs 2999DKK) or roughly the same, adjusted from inflation from 2015 to March 2021 i guess.

@@mattscomputerservices I mean rendering stuff and streaming were fine with the igpu as long as it was encoding in 720p while I used a 980 for games and it held its own pretty well. I could still use the system if I wanted to, but it got to the point of when I wanted to play certain games, the processor started to bottleneck the 980s performance so I would see crashes and artifacts from overclocking the gpu to compensate for the bottlenecks. Overall it’s a solid cpu and I’m going to put it in a server

It defenetly holds up ! pair it with something like an RTX 2070 and you have yourself a beast for gaming ! With only a 3.6% bottleneck its very impressive for a almost 9 years old cpu.
