I have an i5 4690 non-K paired with a 6GB GTX 1060 and I can't play old games like Batman Arkham Knight, Just Cause 3, Ghost Recon Wildlands and new releases like Far Cry 5 and Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey because they drop to low as 40 fps on high settings in 1080p not to mention the 4 CPU cores get hammered in these games. Would a Ryzen a 2600 help in my case or do I need to spend a shitload of money to buy a i7?
Help me Jow Forums I just want to play this games at 60 fps(or close to it) without any stutering or things like that. (Also I'm on Windows 7 yeah I know I'll have to upgrade to 10 if I buy a new CPU.)
>Thinking about buy amd. Don't do it mate. Spend a few extra bucks a get a good and reliable i7.

>gayme gayme gayme >have an Intlel within 15% SC of the top end All Intlel is good for is gaymes. I smell bullshit - but on the off chance this is gin-you-eyene, there's something quite wrong with your machine.

Looking up some benchmarks and sample video on youtube, that CPU seems to perform fine in the games you listed. I'd load up some demanding games and then watch your temps of CPU and GPU on another screen while you play. If one of them is overheating, they will throttle back as to not cook themselves to death.
Also make sure you don't have some shitware running in the background slowing everything down.
Buying a new processor in this dude's case is likely a waste of money.

get a used 4770 / 4790

Yes, even on low settings. BTW that benchmark is pure BS. Just search carefully on youtube for benchmark of non-k i5 4690 and you will see it drops below 50 fps as soon as you get on the batmobile or travel the city.
Like I said you need to find videos of actual gameplay(not bs game benchmarks that don't give you real world performance) of nonk i5 4690 and you will see it drops below 50 fps in most cases. Also my temps are fine GPU/CPU usage are fine. I can play most games at 60 fps 1080p in high/ultra settings it's just that I want to play these games I mentioned but they run like shit on my rig.
Will it really help though? Aren't they basically the same architecture can I really get 15 to 20 fps more in these games with an i7 4790?

Echoing I played all of those games (minus Arkham Knight and AC Odyssey) on a 2600k and the same GPU and got significantly better performance than that. Something in your machine is having some issues. Like said, one of them might be overheating and throttling hard to keep itself from dying.
>Will it really help though? Aren't they basically the same architecture can I really get 15 to 20 fps more in these games with an i7 4790? It might, though it'd be accidental if your CPU is kaput. Give the cooler a good cleaning and apply some fresh TIM. Same with the GPU. If neither of those solve the issue (assuming heat is the issue) then you can think about replacing.

i had same problem with 4690, changed to 8400 and it was even bigger mistake than taking 4690 in first place. i cant play anything modern like battlefield 1 without having constant 100% on all cores.

My temps are fine I use a WC in the CPU and it rarely goes above 60ºC and the GPU doesn't get past 65ºC in heavily demanding games.
