Thinking of switching from Intel to AMD

Still waiting for your games list almighty. But fine if you prefer to talk cinebench, we get the picture. Funny that...

Cinebench R15 Thread

4.8Ghz 2600k = 847 points
5Ghz FX 8320 = 803 points

2600k is 6% faster even though it's clocked 4% lower...

thats why the cinebench scores came into play

Resi 6 benchmark..

STALKER COP benchmark tool

Crysis 1?

Lost planet 3?

What stand alone benchmarks are out....

Which still show the 2600k winning even when up against an FX with a very very rare clock speed.

nikki5974 · 16 Nov 2013 at 14:48

downloading resi 6 benchmark tool now

its not winning buy much with a 5Ghz clocked FX tho is it and thats not rare

got 807 with my fx @ 5ghz which is my 24/7 speed

Well that's no good if you've got different GPU set ups

I know, and one of my 7950's in borked so all I have is a single 7950 at 1200Mhz

Martini1991 · 16 Nov 2013 at 14:52

I'd rape you silly with my i5

Although I'm pretty sure my set up's messed up

Not performing as fast as it used to.

nikki5974 · 16 Nov 2013 at 14:53

well mines a 7850 but still be nice to compare as i was looking @ 7950 or 7970 matrix but thought it was overkill for me so stayed with the 7850

Martini1991 · 16 Nov 2013 at 14:54

Wait.

An FX8350 is loads better than an i5 2500K with a 7850?

Because if that's what you're saying, that's absolute BS, you'll be hard pressed to see any difference at all between the set ups because both CPU's will be maxing out the GPU having grunt left.
Unless say you were running DOW 2 etc.

nikki5974 · 16 Nov 2013 at 14:55

yep thats what im saying

Martini1991 · 16 Nov 2013 at 14:56

Then you can safely be ignored, you'd see no difference between the set ups (And if you did, it'd be in low threaded and cpu intensive games, and it wouldn't be to the FX83) except the 2500K and 7850 combination would offer poor price/performance.

nikki5974 · 16 Nov 2013 at 14:57

ill run this resi benchmark on FX and 2500k both with the 7850 and see what the score are shall we ?

Martini1991 · 16 Nov 2013 at 14:58

It'll be nigh on the same unless either set up is borked.

My old 2500k provided a much smoother game play experience in Crysis 1 with a single 5850 then my old Phenom 2 x6 did with 5850's.

Minimum FPS is still primarily decided by the CPU and not the GPU

Martini1991 · 16 Nov 2013 at 15:00

I know my i5 2500K > My 1055T 4.375GHZ with 6870 Crossfire quite safely.

5850 Crossfire had some terrible microstutter problems with Crysis 1 from what I recall.

I'll do a benchmark of my R9 290 flashed with an R9 290X and 4.6GHZ Haswell with Resi from Steam.

We could look at games people actually play instead of selecting only ones that are likely to put the 8320 in a poorer light:

Tomb Raider
Bioshock Infinite
Metro 2033
Metro Last Light
Batman Arkham City/Origins
Sleeping Dogs

All have built in benchmarks and vary in CPU/GPU use.

It's no news that old CPU intensive games that only use 2 cores will run better on a 2500K. It's also no news that games aren't written like that any more.

Doesn't matter if a game doesn't have a benchmark. You can use FRAPS to test an agreed level/area of the game with multiple runs and pool the results. That is what we do on BF4.

No other games?

I will download resi 6 benchmark too.
