| FallingTitan said: i have an i5 4690k overclocked at 4589 mHZ stable and consistant. NO power saving mode. so its always on turbo 24/7 OC'd.
I forgot when i built my rig? 3-4 years ago? i dunno. but with my speeds ryzen 5 doesn't seem that great. Maybe im just lucky and got a super godly chip because it overclocks so well? |
At that clock rate, you have years of life left in it for gaming.
For someone with a CPU like yours, Ryzen's main appeal is the extra cores for multi-tasking, but is it worth spending hundreds of dollars if your current rig handles everything? That's up to you as an individual to decide.
I personally believe Ryzen is a good starting point for AMD, but Zen+/Ryzen 2 is when the chips should start to come into their own in my opinion.
