Core i7-4790

Measured performance for Core i7-4790 across 1 verified WhatFPS runs. Every number is measured in our benchmark suite — not estimated, not self-reported. CPU score (the processor's own performance): 4,232 — measured in one rig so far, #92 of 105 measured processors. The best rig we measured it in scored 3,645 GAMING (that number reflects the whole PC, not just Core i7-4790). Most often paired with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

What the numbers mean

The headline score is the part's best measured run, and the measurements under it come from that same run. It shows what the part has been proven to do — not what an average rig gets out of it. The GAMING score is a geometric mean of GPU (63 %), CPU (30 %), RAM (5 %) and drive (2 %) — a weak part cannot hide behind a strong one. The CPU score is the hardware's own performance and what we rank on. Every run is HMAC-signed in the app and scored on the server. The full methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
