I like how they Adressed absolutley everything everyone was saying, was really suprised they could only get the i5 to 4.5 though, must have lost the silicon lottery on that one, oh and what the hell was up with ARMA 2 ? anyone know why that happened ?
I have a friend who says his 3570k (at 4.5 ghz) and 670 combo run Far Cry 3 at 60-ish with max settings at 1080p.... Can anybody think of why there might be such a discrepancy?
i believe it varies highly by motherboard, chip batch, and other factors
at 4.6ghz with a FX-6300 i scored a higher single threaded cinebench score than a 3570K at stock but another user with a 6300 i know got 1.37 single threaded score and far lower multithreaded score at 4.8ghz
here is the validated link if anybody has any doubts
Same also goes for intel, silicon lottery really, most i5's can at least get to 4.5 and most 8350's can get at least 4.7 make sure the mobo you buy has good Vreg and youll be set, oh and absiously get a good cooler.
Sorry, just posted another thread, probably should have been in here... I'm going to NCIX after work to grab a few things... I was gonna grab an 8350 at 190 bucks (pretty cheap) to upgrade from my 8120. Was just wondering if it's worth the upgrade? Noticeable improvements?
with overclocking you can still get some life out of the 8120, but i would say get the 8320 over the 8350 as you can easily overclock a 8320 to 8350 speeds or above
That was also a question I had... So it's exactly same chip eh? 8320 and 8350? That's the same reason I got the 8120 over the 8150. And yes I do OC, am using H80 for cooling (currently 8120 @ 4.5ghz).
