So my question regards the good ole underdog cpu, the FX-8350. I'm curious if anyone has benched the 8350 in skyrim after applying the "multicore CPU" INI tweaks found in this guide:

I'm curious if it improves perfermance of the game, especially in regard to an AMD 8-core build vs an intel quad-core build. Cheers!
I'm curious about this as well. I'd also like to know the impact of running 1 core per module config. Based on synthetic benches, this configuration boosts single-threaded performance by 10-20%. Sometimes I think the only way how I'm going to get these answers is by buying my own FX set up... but I don't have any disposable income, and I highly doubt the FX would be any sort of a replacement for a 4.5GHz 2500k.
So I have a pretty legit 8350 setup. I'm just not exactly comfortable on how to set up a controlled test, or monitor core performance, etc etc etc. I'd be more than happy to do it, I just don't actually know what to do...
I have an 8350 with a 770. I also have my old 660 if that would help track the CPU performance, since the 770 is such a step up.
