You shouldn't be testing the 3570K vs the FX-4170 (Or any bulldozer for that matter) You should be testing the FX-8350 against the 3570K since they're in the same price/performance range. Luckily for you that's already been done by two members of this forum...What do the results show? EXTREMELY minimal differences @ 1920 x 1080. If you where to step up to 2560 X 1440/1600 the gap would close EVEN MORE because then the games become extremely GPU dependent.

Unfortunately the large amount of trolls caused the OP to lock the thread down.
