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.

You could probably buy a better cpu 2nd hand for dirt cheap if needed.
