    I'm still using this CPU up to this date. Shifting from an HDD to an SSD made a world of difference. 2020, I upgraded it with a used rx580 and another 8gb ram and have been playing with it since then. Valorant + discord + couple of chrome tabs and a gaming recorder runs not smoothly but with adequate results.

    I first got my PC somewhere in late 2018 when my dad was working on it and asked if I could offer that PC for like 5k pesos (around $90s). It had an i5-4460 processor, which sparked my interest, as I was using a PC with a Core 2 Duo at the time being. Me and my dad had some negotiations, got my PC and I was kind of disappointed that I'm not getting a performance difference when playing Roblox (almost the same performance as the Core 2 duo at Graphics 1).
    When I got my PC back in late 2019, in hopes of getting repaired after being bricked for almost the entirety of that year, I finally can get to play games on my PC, only difference is that I don't have a video card installed on that thing. But then I start to notice a difference in performance: My average performance from playing Phantom Forces went from ~20-30 fps average on graphics 1 to almost ~40-55 fps on graphics 5. Then in mid-2020s, I had a need for a powerful graphics card, so me and my dad picked up a GTX 660 for around 2k PHP ($36), and it boosted my PC's performance, running around a ~50 fps on average at max graphics while playing Arsenal.
    Nowadays, I still use my PC with an i5-4460, GTX660 and 16GB of RAM. Runs well on GTA V at Normal Settings, The Crew 2 at default settings, Genshin impact on normal settings, and can definitely run most Roblox games at more than 60fps on Graphics 10. However, while BeamNG is playable on this PC at low settings in some cases, this is where all the lag spikes start to get apparent. Overall I'm quite content with what I have currently.
    Looking forward into upgrading my PC to Ryzen 5 3400G and GTX 1660 Super, as well as playing other games than Roblox though.
    TL;DR: I've had this PC for more than 5 years and it still runs like a champ. Upgrades included.

    This content is really helpful, thank you. I have a prebuild i5 4440 and gtx 645. What would you suggest as upgrades?
    Since it has 8 threads, would an i7 4770 make sence in your opinion? Paired with a 1070 perhaps? Can you give some advise? I dont know much about the older hardware/ older sockets.
    As I was overdue for an upgrade last winter I got into PCs and built myself 13600k/3060ti/64ram rig, yeah I was reborn.
    I just want to give the old pc another 3-5 years of life, since it has served me well + only modern game I care to play is ghostrunner, the old rig will be for older games.

      The i7 4770 is a great upgared option which still performs quite well in 2024. I made a video on the i7 4770 recently too. If you want to see how well it gets on, that video is perfect for you!

      Hey, i have same CPU, all you need is Gtx 1060 3gb if you can get it very cheap, it can play all modern games on low. I upgraded from r9 380x and it was suprisingly a lot better, also 12 - 16gb ram is a must have.
      If you really want to invest and buy i7 4770 also good options are Gtx 1660 Super or Ti, you can even consider 1080/Ti or Rtx 2060 / 3050 if you want to spend extra.

    I have the i5 4460 with an RX480 4gb on an older system and I was planing to upgrade it to a Xeon E3 1270 V3 for 30€. It should perform like the i7 4770 (I can't find those for less than 60€) and it should give me enough head room to upgrade the graphics card for something like an RX 5600 xt in the future.

    I just picked up a "broken" i5 4460 16GB GTX 1060 3gb pc for $10 on my local offerup. It didn't initially boot because the CPU & DRAM Debug LEDs would both flash. I took it apart, cleaned it and reseated the cpu and ram. It booted up fine after that with no issues. My question is do you recommend spending the $30-40 to buy a i7 4770/4790? I saw a few for sale in my local offerup. Thanks for the great video man.

    • @ProYamYamPC
      @ProYamYamPC  9 місяців тому +2

      Firstly, nice find! It depends on the games that you play. If the i5 4460 is severely bottlenecking your GPU, I would say it's worth upgrading to an i7 or Xeon which has 8 threads. I made a video on the Xeon E3-1241 V3 (basically a 4770 with no iGPU) not long after I uploaded that video. That might be worth a watch for you.

    Good vid, however rookie mistake (probably a wider one as lot of pple call it). the speed for ram chips is NOT 1600 MHz, the clock rate of the chips is 200 Mhz, the bus is 800 MHz, giving you a 1600 MT transfer speed. Probably another things to note, the 1% and averages were quite good.. you are getting a 60fps or near that experience.. on the stock 60MHz monitor that is all you would want. The CPU that i like to use from that gen is 47770 (non k).. they are cheap and have not been overclocked. Alternative is i5-6500, i5-7500, i5-7600..or stepping into newer gens like i3-8100 or i3-9100f

    if u doing review for gaming, the R23 is pointless, same as the 5 games average. this old i5 is capable for new gaming as long as u pair with mid gpu with medium or high graphic details. its pointless to compare those cs with low graphic details which makes this cpu look bad when u average all the games together, u dont need 400 fps for a fps games. this cpu definitely still capable for modern gaming. just not for those dumb game like cyberpunk. one more thing, reviewing this i5 in 2023 also pointless, anyone looking for new build better go for ryzen rather than buy old motherboard for this which cost u as well.

      Are you aware of how most people play CS2? They lower the settings for the highest possible framerate. Cyberpunk is a relevant game as it's received a major recent update. This CPU is NOT capable for modern gaming, as you said people are better off with Ryzen after all.
