i7 3770 might be worth it IF you can overclock it to 4.3Ghz, but your motherboard is H77m, so overclocking is not possible IINM.
You have GTX1080, with i7 3770 you'll still face CPU bottleneck on some other games. A stock i7 3770 is around the same performance with stock 6600k that I have, and at stock 6600k, I face CPU bottlenecks that the 6600k can't keep up with the GTX1070ti that I have.
Why not get a new i5 8400, mobo and RAM. You can still sell off your i5 3570, mobo and RAM to recoup the costs. i5 8400 should be 40-50% faster than i7 3770

Or else, like others said, catch up with the latest Coffee Lake system, you will see dramatic improvement. old intel core platforms like ivy bridge, locked CPUs can be overclocked using z series boards, on haswell intel locked it out by hardware. |

QUOTE(wongtheboy92 @ Aug 17 2018, 03:56 PM) "Non k" processors can be overclocked but limited I think. Raising the BCLK provided you have a z77 motherboard. At most probably you can only reach 4.3GHZ stable with auto vcore. Such mild oc is pretty much no major improvement where people can get stable 5.0GHZ with the K version. When you get the z77 mobo, automatically you will get 3570k/3770k. If not better get H series board. And most people will recommend you to take any K version Intel processor if you want to overclock. Be it 6700k, 7700k, 8700k. in your previous post you stated “only 3770k can be overclocked and not 3770” now you U-Turn and say 3770 can lolwut? |

QUOTE(wongtheboy92 @ Aug 17 2018, 05:21 PM) more like turbo boost for 3770? Hardly a true OC there. lol surely people will overclock only the K version. 3770 usually people use due to the extra cores and threads, for those who don't OC. That why unlocked K version exists, meant for OC. Not using the non-k version. you U Turn again? Just now you said 3770 can overclock, now say its turbo boost only? Dude 3770 is 3.9Ghz max turbo boost by intel. Calm down and talk sense please. This post has been edited by terradrive: Aug 17 2018, 07:21 PM |
