| Barkley said: My new build: Motherboard - ASRock B550M Pro 4 My i5-4670k was overclocked to 4.5ghz, so while the new Ryzen will destroy it in anything using more than 4 threads I'm not entirely sure about single-thread performance which was still a beast... hopefully a bit better mainly for emulation sake. Once games on PC start taking better advantage of higher than SATA speeds I'll shove a gen 4 NVME ssd in there. Probably sometime next year with DirectStorage coming out then. Even in 2020 though, the only game I ever played that the i5-4670k (OC'd) couldn't manage 60fps in was the latest Assassin's Creed games (origins onwards) which dipped to 45. Amazing how long it lasted. |
Nice build and you got nothing to worry about in single thread performance. The 3600 going to be way ahead of the 4670k. I think you vastly underestimating how much IPC gain there was in the 6 years between the Haswell architecture and the Zen 2.
One recommendation with Zen 2 unless you just really into tweaking the CPU manually there really not much gain from OC Zen 2 manually vs using the auto OC of precision boost so for overclocking I would just turn on precision boost and call it a day. Precision boost adapt to temperature but my guess for single core you see around 4.5ghz with it on. A bit lower when taxing all cores.
Edit: Note in gaming GPU going to be more of a bottle neck then CPU. I got a ancient i7 965 in my basement (12 years old) that could hit over 60fps in many games if I throw a decent GPU in it. I mean only 2 years ago I was doing exactly that and it was 10 years old at the time.
