Have a look at the youtube video above , you should see there is only 1-2FPS difference between i7 4790k @ 4.4GHz (turbo) and G3258 @ 4.5GHz in BF4
If I was him I wouldn't invest that much money for a small improvement like that . Not to mention i5 4460 is far weaker than i7 4790k
His main purpose is gaming , not video encoding stuff anyway

Of course there's not much of a difference. If it had all 4 cores at 4.4ghz there would be more of a difference. Who said anything about video encoding?

Look at the difference in frame rate when clocked at 4.7ghz
You're trying to say a 4790k @ stock clocks is as fast as a i3-4330 @ stock clocks which is obviously false.
Also the BF4 multiplayer is heavier on the CPU while the single player is heavier on the GPU.
Anandtech used dual GTX 770 for benchmarking...
Quote:the crux of the situation shows that even with an overclocked Pentium, an i3-4330 can get a lot more out of your graphics cards. In single GPU, we see a 30% increase in frame rates for F1 2013, moving towards 120 FPS. In dual GPU modes, BF4 was the biggest beneficiary with a +42% increase. Moving from 65.7 FPS to 93.4 FPS for dual GTX-770s is a no brainer.
Back to reality please
The OP has GTX 750TI....
As I stated before
If he paired a high-end CPU with a mid-range GPU , he would cause GPU bottleneck . That why i7 4790k didn't show any noticable improvement in the youtube video
Anandtech used high-end GPU which made the Pentium look stupid

Yeah, even the anandtech article shows that most games were GPU limited using a GTX770 @ 1080p. There are cases in which that will not be the case, but Techspot did a review and showed that a 280x was GPU limited in many circumstances and CPU limited in some. (It is basically a rebranded 7970 = much much faster than a 750 ti).

I would say that an ideal processor for dolphin and gaming would be the i5 4690k. It has 4 cores and can be overclocked to improve single core performance for dolphin. Microcenter sells these for $199 (and its usually around $240 elsewhere). Bundled with a motherboard, it will go for ~$300 at MC. The other non-K i5s will lag behind as some of their stock/turbo speeds are low and they cannot be OC'd.

With budgetary restrictions, the G3258 is a great choice.
-it will provide equivalent (or better) performance in Dolphin.
-it will provide decent modern gaming performance (and will not limit performance much, especially if the GPU is well matched, which the 750ti will be)
-it costs about 1/3 the price. MC sells it for $59 alone and $99 with a mobo.

They used single GPUs as well. Look at the link before you post ignorant things please.
Also don't compare it to the i7-4790k then not want high end gpus to be used with it. That makes absolutely no sense.
