With all this talk of Crysis 3 putting increased stress on the CPU, im interested to know if there is a vast difference between the 3570k and the 3770k in this title.

Its like the difference between a 2500K and a 2600K. (look at the slides again)

Its a properly threaded game, your better off with the 3770K, but i would think the 3570K is perfectly adequate for a normal GPU, this was tested on a GTX 690.

Seeing some of those screenshots makes me want to get this and see how I get on with my 480's.

I laughed when I watched the MP videos on Youtube "cloak engaged, cloak engaged, cloak engaged, cloak engaged"

With AA *off*, what sort of settings are going to be achievable with a 7850?

(I always turn AA off unless it's free AA :p )

oops meant to say 1080p

In the beta with AA off i was running with everything on high on my 7850 and it was playing nice and smooth.
Seems though now it's in final that single player is a real hog on systems so i wont know until i buy it.

Where does the good old i7-920 come into these CPU charts? I've had mine for years now but never saw it worth upgrading. Other than the 450 quid 6 cores is it worth bothering? It runs at 4.2ghz...

i7 930, slap bang in the middle, about the same as my x6 1090T

Good thing I ditched my Core i3 2100 a while back. Crysis3 shows how weak they will be with new engines,so I still don't understand why people think are fantastic?? People were having a go at me for recommending a FX6300 over a Core i3,despite me having had experience with both in newer games.

The FX6300 is even matching a Core i5 too.
