So, I mentioned in another post that I'm experiencing issues with my config and thought of changing platforms..
That's what I could get with I credit and selling my current mobo+cpu
Is it worth it? I play games on an EVGA 960 SSC.. Will it handle an m2 sata drive as well on a Gigabyte gaming 3?
is your 8350 overclocked?
nah. not worth the trade. you won't gain enough to be worth it.
Why exactly are you wanting to switch? What is the problem?
i actually just swaped from a 8320 to a i5 4960 my pc is a hell of a lot cooler and now runs silent and i gain a 5-10% increase to fps, you have to decide if the cost of the upgrade is woth it to you.
Also note that it will really depend on what games you will be playing as for what to expect with regards to performance. If you are playing nothing but Tomb Raider, then it won't make any difference at all. If you are playing something that the 8350 can't really handle (Arma 3 maybe?), then you will see an improvement. That said, a 960 isn't all that great of a gpu. Don't get me wrong, it does really well, but it is likely going to be the bottleneck in a great many modern games. If you were on something like a 980, then we would start seeing more performance gains, I would imagine.
In short, no. There is an argument to be made about buying the 4460 in the first place in a gaming system, because the 4460 is a hair better in games. But buying the 4460 after you already have a perfectly good 8350 system would be a waste of money. Your paying a lot for a very small gain. You can buy a Gtx 970 or R9 390 and use that with your 8350, and see huge improvements over the would be 4460 and gtx 960 system you'd have if you went the other route. The 8350 really doesn't bottleneck gpu's in most games (excluding arma) until you start getting to Gtx 980 territory.
You would see a good performance boost if you switched to Intel depending the games thatbyou play. MMOS League of legends Counter Strike GO those types casual games. It would be also heck alot more easier to managed with heat.This is coming from a former FX 6300 user who went to a Xeon E3 1231V3.
depends on the games you play, and which gpu you have.
But i think its worth it if you have a highend gpu.
Especialy if you play allot of cpu bound games like mmo´s, or heavy multiplayer gaming
Wait.. WHAT? This talk of CPU bottlenecking is crazy. So CPUs with Passmarks of over 8000 are now not adequate enough for some GPUs?
Yes
I went from a 4.7 6350 to a 4.7 4690k the trade off for daily computing was shitty actually lost performance in things like 7-zip. I did however gain a better gaming experience.
Depends on the game but in short yes. If the game is CPU hungry you'll have issues with flagship cards
Now i'm questioning even more how Intel come up with their prices. That 4690K. It's really good. But not $300 good. Seriously, Intel? And to top things off, you can't even get a cheaper unlocked quad core. It's like they strategically put in features, and price just to be A-holes... Seriously, though. Games' CPU requirements are catching up. MGSV demands something beyond a 4690, and $300 on paper just seems like it'd be a solid processor. The Nehalem 920 was definitely worth $300 at the time. I'm just speechless right now. The PC parts market is a mess right now.
I would be tempted to switching to a 4790k, but never a 4690k... seems more like a sidegrade for some of the things I do and a downgrade in others.
I am a cinema4d user so cinebench multithread means a lot to me
meh
I would have to overclock it just to match the 9370 I have?
I am going to stick with amd a bit longer I think..
I believe the topic has lost focus so I'm here to clear thigs up. First, my pc is experiencing issues, such as freezing at random moments. As such I'm saving to swap HDD to SSD or brand new WD Caviar Blue..
Second, it might as well be another component which is causing the freezing. But as I purchased new memory, mobo and GPU I blame either the cpu or the HDD.
If I'm replacing the cpu Intel is my choice, and here, in Argentina, where i7s are hard to get, the i5 4690 is in my price range (u$d500 on official currency conversion, give or take - yes, you'd buy an x99 cpu with that)
Once I verify the HDD was bad, and my new hdd presents no problems I'm good, but I needed info in case the cpu was bad and needed replacement.
Thanks to you all. And, btw I'm not upgrading gpu anytime soon.
Lets hear what other thoughts you have ;)
Not righ now
Taking a passmark score and accounting only for that score is a stupid notion. You have to realize that games don't take advantage of all the cores the 8350 has to offer. This is why the 8350 can pull 800 in cinebench r15 with an overclock but then still be slower in games then a locked I5.
Well overclock it before you go buying a new motherboard and processor
Also use crystal disk info to check the status of your hard drive, that's likely the issue
