I know, but they delayed Skylake. What do you want me to do? I'm not gonna buy Haswell last November to sell it after a year with a loss. I'm from eastern parts of EU. I save for 4 years to buy new platform. That GPU was my long deserved piece of heaven, first time in my life CPU bottlenecking my gameplay. Go trolling somewhere else rich spoiled brat. Besides, all the numbers are on the internet, complaints of guys trying to play GTA4 fluently on i7-4770K can be found on steam forum. Google search is your friend.

I'm not rich nor spoiled, I just know it's a waste of money to mix old sh*t with new sh*t when it comes to major components like CPU's and GPU's.
Google search has been my friend since Google search. It's sad you didn't use it to see how bad of a port GTA IV was, but instead you're using it to show weakness in hardware that should not have struggled to run it.
Oh, and your opinions on 4K are poor at best. How do you think 4K will get any bigger if there is no support for it? How are people going to know [enter game title here] has support for it if publishers don't say it has support for it. Your hardware configuration and update cycles tells me you are nowhere near 4K, but that doesn't mean no one else is close either.
You mad bro?

This quarrel is pointless. GTA4 is an unoptimised nightmare of a game, but at least it scales good with crude CPU power, so it's relatively easy to predict performance of a specific CPU based on its Cinebench or 3dmarkphysics score. With few CPU dependant features turned down a notch I got smooth 35-65fps gameplay in it. Actually this ancient CPU with DDR2 keeps up with unOC'd FXs in games that require 2-4 threads, based on YT videos and ingame benchmarks I can find and compare with mine. And I paid for it in '09 few euros more than FX8350 costs now. Besides, well optimised game is GPU depandant game. Still, I'll gladly buy Skylake when it comes out.
When it comes to 4K, well, I've watched painful deployment of FHD in gaming, it's still far from being wide (something like 35% if steam survey is of any value?), so what do You want me to say? It's reserved for rich folk for now. By the time 4K reach significant percent of rigs those game of today that support it will become outdated graphically and its not major selling point, just bragging point by both devs and those able to afford $600+ LCD and $1000+ SLI/CF. Less demanding games could be run in 4K on middle class GPUs on minimum, still better than consoles, but theres no good quality LCDs under $500, while You can buy FHD IPS for under $150.
You're saying your not rich nor spoiled, but Your comments seems to imply You representing higher income class/nation with ignorance of how much people actually earn outside of developed economies, or like they don't deserve to play video games or watch Netflix or buy smartphones. I got a cousin in N. America, and he considers his parents old country a lesser land, so lecturing You on that topic seems pointless to me.
Again, steam survey: primary display od 1080p owned by up to 35%, quad core under 50%. And R* needs to sell over 10mln PC copies to satisfy investors to invest in next PC port, not few hundred thousand.

Your link is a mess, but I got it. Awsome, I love Borat, but He actually making fun of American ignorance. It's a laugh on You too. Let's laugh together.

Sorry what? I know plenty of Enthusiasts who know their **** when it comes to optimized hardware for certain PC objectives (gaming, content creation etc).

Not sure if serious....
What part of what you quoted classifies an enthusiast?
How do you optimize for a 6 year old CPU?
What enthusiast has a 6 year old CPU in their main rig?

I am telling you that what ever machine you have (whether old or new) does not take away from the fact that the indivudal can still give viablie advice. Isn't that what you are saying? "Hey, you have 50 year old machine, you can't possibly know what you are talking about".

Love the trolling... and having an older CPU doesn't preclude you from offering advice... your nickname gives away your true nature 
The difference in even absolute top-of-the-line CPUs and the q9450 (or 9550 - they were virtually identical once overclocked) is pretty marginal unless running the top games...
The focus has been on making them more power-efficient, not powerful...
So spending money on a nice GPU is actually a very smart idea - most bottle-necks would be on the GPU side - progress there has been much greater than on the CPU side!
I still have my q9450 running at work - it can run almost everything I throw at it even now...

I would like to point out that the "topic" is about running GTA V in 4k... YOU were the one who derailed it by calling people noobs...
The problem is, even absolute top-of-the-line PCs struggle with running top games at 4k. Take a look at the review of Falcon's Mach V running 3 GTX 980s... it STILL had to turn down the details to run Shadow of Mordor at 4k!!
http://www.pcgamer.com/a-week-with-an-8000-pc-testing-the-falcon-northwest-mach-v/
Honestly, unless you're running 3 Titan X cards (display of hands please!), I woudn't be too concerned with 4k for another year or 2...

That CPU has no issues running most games at 900p or even a few at 1440p. There are still lots of ppl running OCed Core 2 Extremes with GTX Titans and R9 295x2 and displaying the benchmarks. Therefore he has no need to upgrade it as of yet. I myself have a Phenom ii X3 720 OCed to 3.8Ghz and an OCed HD 7970 and I can run BF4 Max settings at 1080p. If you want to waste your money on bragging rights and staying ahead of the competition then suit yourself. You're the one who shouldn't be advising ppl....
