Can't even achieve stable 60 fps anymore. What a hunk of junk. /s
Since this isn't really Linux-specific....EDIT: [I use] Debian btw?
Look, I'm not about to suggest the 4790K is the best CPU for the money today, but if you bought one way back in '14 and upgraded around it over time, you're still doing alright. This is still at stock clock. Been meaning to OC it. I previously ran an R9 290 until my wife surprised me with the 4070 for my birthday a couple years ago.
Great CPU then. Still pretty good today. Maybe I'll still give it a few years before I upgrade.
Tbh, I'm super happy with the performance I'm getting. I did dig through my bios and found an old OC to 4.7 GHz that got me a few extra FPS on the low side.
I'm playing on my TV right now. My monitors are also over a decade old. I couldn't run faster than 60 FPS right now even if I wanted to lol but I appreciate the thought.
But aside from ray tracing being off, I'm running 1080p at ultra settings perfectly fine. I'm just super stoked my ancient CPU can still run newer/more intense titles. It's like being around in 2010 using a CPU from 1999. If you were using a Celeron that went in a slot, you probably weren't running Windows 7, let alone Crysis lol
Ah! Yeah it's aging quite well, for sure.
