I5 6500/6600k vs I7 6700k/7700k

[The HopelessGamer™]

Whats better.

The i7 is better always will be. Its the best gaming cpu around. Most games are cpu heavy. Not including big games such as titanfall, bf4, bf1 etc, those are gpu heavy.

[Alexalmighty502]

its better but not $100 better and almost any big game is gpu heavy so id say it would be much better to get a better gpu and a i5 vs a i7 and a weaker gpu
for example a 1050 ti costs 140 a 1060 6gb costs 240 and the 1060 is 87% faster
the 7600k and the 7700k single core speed are nearly the same the 7600k is only 7% faster

Big games are gpu heavy but alot of games like half my freaking library is cpu heavy.

and most of those cpu heavy games will perform the same on either so your point

Well i asked a few ppl who i trust alot more then you (no offence) and i was right and wrong. For 1080p no point in upgrading unless your editing, 3d creation etc. Or playing games like arma. Now for obove 1080p such as 1440p you need a i7.

So for me a i7 would be ideal. I make 3d graphics both animated and static. Etc. I also edit videos and what not so for me it would be a good upgrade.

Granted im not an expert. But i have built my own pc. Iv built 3 yes its not many but still im not stupid.

no for 1440p you need a stronger gpu and as i keep saying most games will perform the same

cpus actually arent stressed that much harder in higher resolutions compared to gpus which need to process 50% or 100% more

a 7600k would easily run any game at 2k or 4k if it has two 1080s

oh and also about arma 3 the 6700k will give you 4 more fps than the 6600k i dont know about you but id rather not spend $25 to improve the framerate by 1

Depends on the scenario or game.

There aren't a whole lot of games out there where the i7 provides a big benefit (as in a huge fps increase) over an i5, or in some cases an i3.

In many games you won't notice a big difference between the 2 if any. The GPU is the biggest factor in games anyway.


When multitasking, video editing or streaming, then one might benefit from the extra threads on the i7. Not that the i5 is incapable though, as you can still do the above with one.

Some games like tom Clancy's division will run a lot better on an i7 but majority of the time for most games a i5 is more than enough .... but keep in mind the new play station and Xbox scorpion have 8 cores and they are both running DirectX 12 and Vulcan which are a lot easier to program 8+ threads on in other words expect in the near future a lot more games will be coming out that will take full advantage of the i7 that are ported down from consoles. Consoles have been holding back PCs for to long not So Much Anymore.

That too yes a gpu for 1440p is required preferably a 1080 combined with a 6700k.

For directx 12 yeah i7 would be a good idea. I cant run directx 12 i have it and all that since i can play rise of the tomb in dx12 but i drop from 80fps to 26fps.

[Alexalmighty502]

no a 6700k is not needed for 2k as my benchmark shows

No but it is preferred. Now overall. Yes the i7 out does a i5 depending on what you need it for. For me it would be 2-3x better then my i5. Since i use programs such as adobe after effects, premiere pro. So a better cpu will make it render faster. Combined with a ssd and 32gbs of ram which ill upgrade to at somepoint.

In games the difference between an i5 and an i7 are irrelevant
Any CPU comparison with games prove this.

Easily shown here
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1544?vs=1826
And here
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1828?vs=1826

The difference in games is as said irrelevant
When it comes to multi tasking while gaming then yes, the i7 will do some what better.

But in gaming as a whole, the difference is too few to matter.

Ok. Play dayz or arma and use a i5. Then play it on a i7 and tell me you dont want a i7.... it depends on what your doing and what setup you have.

Now we are all right AND wrong. Depends on what you need it for. Playing cod a i5 is more then enough.

For now .. read my post from earlier

[Alexalmighty502]

you fail to remember that console games are easily optimized for their consoles (and that they are completely different then computers)

also i7s arent 8 cores

also more than 95% of computers have 4 or less cores and 47% have 2 cores most developers will optimize games for that majority

and while dx12 and vulcan will use the threads better it will still not be worth it compared to using that money to get a better gpu

No. There is a huge difference with a i7 compared to a i5. You get extra 60fps in some games. Such as half my library would be great if i had a i7. So it does make a difference in games.
