Guess there will be good gains using photoshop?
my cpu didn't even bother clocking upto 4ghz
oh crap I think vsync was on! (60.1fps and 64% gpu usage) definitely gained 10fps (if all my mods loaded hmm) let me go check if vsync was on for some reason
You can see the core usage on there and temps
Hmm all my skyrim mods have disappeared from their directory I think steam reset my skyrim when one of the expansions I didnt buy came out because I remember it dloading Gb's of skyrim and I cant even remember what mods I had now so theres no way for me to do aan accurate comparison
LOL okay,, i visited the steam workshop page and as soon as I did skyrim just started downloading a bunch of data , I'm still subscribed to the mods so god knows what happened with my skyrim install

omg this is ridiculous why the **** did steam do this?
I thought it downloaded the mods.. I launch skyrim check the text at the bottom
BTW if anyones wondering how I added cpu stats to afterburner then I'm running hwinfo64 is "sensor only mode"
you set them up like this
note the "riva tuner" section you just click show and select a colum and a row for whatever sensors you want displayed via afterburner/rivatuner, have a game running whilst you do it so you can see where abouts they show up on afterburner/rivatuners on screen overlay
EDUT: I give up on skyrim I cant get ENB to work... (oh wait afterburners OSD stops ENB working I think?)
Pcars 63 cars , wet weather etc , ds4x AA , probably one of the more cpu demanding pc games seeing as theres all the physics crap going on.
The font loks different because I had to change my afterburner settings to get it to show up in dx11
0 cores at 100% usage hammered my fps though to 17.4 with so many cars @ ds4x
As far as I'm concerned only games that can only use 1-2 cores will be core limited and show a difference because of the more efficient single thread performance compared to phenom2's but most intel generations had really good single thread performance anyway compared to amd?
It's probably not worth upgrading to haswell for anyone with at least an i7 920 if all they do is game

no im on ivy but as said many say without extensive cpu benchmarking that a lot of games dont take advantage when they do
some fps differences are massive in certain games.
just look at benchmarks for skyrim and cpus .

well I'm not seeing it in games that multicore well in the first play, maybe 5-10% difference at best.
games that can only use 1-2 cores see a huge difference but only because my 1055t had really weak single threaded performance but in games that can spread cores it was fine.
as I said for cinebench 11.5
6.73 with a 4670k @4 ghz
5 with x6 1055t @ stock
1.73 difference.
Where as I'm sure if I ran cinebench on one thread only then the 4670k would be about twice as fast on one core than a 1055t would be

With my Q9650@4Ghz CB score is 3.92 so 4670k is around 70% faster clock for clock. I guess this would be about right.
AMD FX8350 @ 4GHz (stock) = 6.64 pts
AMD FX8350 @ 4.6GHz = 7.86 pts
AMD FX8350 @ 4.8GHz = 8.03 pts
AMD FX8350 @ 5GHz = 8.33 pts
Just for info.
8 cores though I'd imagine for gaming it wouldn't be as good clock for clock.
I'm guessing half the performance core for core
Nice info for people who want to render/trancode etc though
It may do, but it's still a lottery on the temp's depending on the Haswell CPU receive and more so if you overclock it.
It's nice to see some AMD results for this as well, arknor.
well I posted my x6 1055t one to
It's not like I'm an intel fanboy, ths is my first intel cpu since pentium 3 633mhz which was my very first cpu
It's actually scary how little I have ever upgraded :S
p3 633mhz
athlon xp 1800+
amd 3200+
bought an e4300 from the members market but never bothered buying everything else I needed
amd x6 1055t (what a jump LOL skipping dual , tri and quadcore cpus :O)
4670k
I think my gpu's were
gf2mx
radeon 8500
Radeon x800
4year gap must have had something else in between than I can't remember
GTX 460
amd 7850

They are so close in price the 4770k makes more sense if you need a new mobo too.
