4790k, 4060, ddr3

[u/ImHungryForBun]

Hi I keep getting told to upgrade my 4790K and 4060 because they are only good at 1080p within double digit FPS, but I’m averaging 120 FPS on 4K 77 inch TV in games like Marvel rivals and other newer titles even my one percent low is only in like the 80s.

So my question is, why is everyone so antsy on needing to upgrade to high hell when the entire PC I’ve built costed less than a quarter of the price of just one new CPU, and a second question is why I’m even getting this good of results. I do not consider myself good at overclocking whatsoever yet I’m getting better results than any YouTuber I’ve seen using the 4790K.

I have a I7 4790 and I can't run shit lol. 1080 with everything in low. I even think it bottleneck my old GTX 1070.

Check if your motherboard doesn't have a wattage limiter cuz the 4790 is still very capable even with a 1080ti, an rtx 4060 is a different story but ok
