Hello guys coffee lake 8700k is here should i upgrade from 4790k. I do purely gaming...

[Derek Smith]

Wait for the next one after coffee.

If your running a 140hz monitor and you need that extra fps to match the hertz then yes. Otherwise dont bother.

 

[Dustin Gum]

Hell no

 

[Nathan C Fall]

Nope. 4fps improvement

 

[Albert Dela Cruz]

yes but... It'll be better to upgrade next year since the cheaper chipsets aren't out yet, RAM is expensive and you'll be needing to buy a new monitor for the sake of seeing more than 60fps(if you have a 60hz monitor)

 

[Raphael Matthew Santiago]

no, unless you need 2 more cores.

I've had a 4790k for 4 years I've had no problems even when I oc to 4.3 I am thinking of upgrading my 980 MSI afterburner though

 

[Jodey Grist]

Aside from the itch to want to upgrade, I still don't feel a need to upgrade my 2600k to coffee lake, it's overclocked to 4.6GHz, and I can rarely max it out on anything I do. I have a 1080 GPU and run a 144Hz 1080p monitor, and everything runs great. 6 cores would be lovely, but I'm struggling to justify any reason for it.

 

[Michael Braddy]

No

 

[Jahirul Islam Anik]

If you are up to gaming only and really want to upgrade go for 8600k,,

 

[Riley Branson]

nuh\

 

[Mark Adrian Barrameda]

no, invest for GPU
