The i7-4790K without OC will have pretty big performance increase over the FX-9590 for straight up gaming, and with it being overclocked, the difference will be quite significant.
Have owned both chips, so that's why I know.
Also, I didn't mention I had GTX 780 Ti in 3-way SLI for each system so that's why the performance difference was much larger.

Did you ever compare gaming on those two system while using only one graphics card?
I have heard the FX-9590 is a bit of a weak overclocker (unlike the FX-8350). But 4.7GHz core and up to 5.0GHz turbo is still pretty good, lol, and I think fast enough to shift the gaming bottleneck onto the GPU card(s). (Applying the same logic to the i7-4790K - also more than good enough for gaming - the main difference is that Z97 can run 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes, and that basically only matters if you have top-end GPU cards or multiple NVidia GPU cards.)
They do bench differently. That matters to a lot of people. Benchmark scores =/= gaming scores, not always anyhow.
