What kind of games do you play, anyway?
for gaming current generation games there isn't a cpu out there better then the i5-2500k/3570k/4670k. That said there are always exceptions to the rule. Crysis3 for example uses as many cores as you can throw at it, so an AMD FX 83xx cpu will punch on even footing with intel i7 cpus which run twice it's price; heck even the little 6 core fx 6300 will outpunch a 4 core i5 or hyperthreaded i3 in that game.Originally Posted by Lawjik
Im building a new rig right now, dumping about $1,600 and Im still not convinced what the best CPU for my money is. Some people say i5 some say i7 some say FX series. I google what's best for gaming and most articles say Intel and then i go talk to someone else and they tell me AMD is the only way to go. Not interested in hearing from fanboys, honestly just want a good CPU that is gonna do me right for the next couple years. Can anyone please enlighten me.
This makes no sense at all, stop trying to bash what I am saying. I was giving my experience with my setup and here we go with an idiot like you trying to find any possible way to make AMD seem like a bad chip. Sometimes if you have nothing positive to say, it's just best to be quite.
What he was trying to say is that typically the Amd processors usually have trouble fully utilizing higher end crossfire/sli gpus. I experienced this with my 965 BE with sli gtx 460s in BF3. I didnt realize my cpu was holding me back till I upgraded to Intel. Having said that, it worked perfectly fine in most games and I still did see a performance increase when I added the second card, just that I gained some more fps after the switch。 I do know the 965 and 8350 are different chips, but I have seen others say the same thing about Amd and Sli、cfx。Originally Posted by Lshuman
