Made the AMD to Intel switch!

Okay this is going to be a before and after story:

 

Before:

 

FX-8350@4.8ghz

16GB (4x4)

6GB GTX 780 no OC

 

70ish fps Titanfall maxed out no AA

Cinibench R15 78 FPS

Crysis 3 70fps (With low drops)

 

After:

i5 4670k @ 3.4ghz

6GB GTX 780 no OC

Cinibench R15 99fps

Titanfall maxed out and 8x MSAA maxed out my monitor at 138-144fps

 

i5 4670k @ 4.4ghz

6GB GTX 780 no OC

 

Titanfall maxed out and 8x MSAA maxed out my monitor at 138-144fps

Cinibench R15 147.8fps

Crysis 3 70fps

 

Other thoughts:

The 8350 is a space heater. Not even joking. My room is at 75F but after an hour of gaming it gets to 82F in here. I was using an H110 with 2 noctua industrial fans @ 3000 rpm to cool it.

So far the room is at 77F with the FX machine off and i have gamed just over an hour on the Intel machine so i'm glad i did this before summer.

To anyone planning to buy FX, just DONT for ANY reason. Hope this info helps people out. 

Mea Culpa.

You do know...

The cinebench R15 Opencl test depends ONLY on GPU...

Then explain how i had 99fps on the i5 and when i OCed it i got 147

I ran both tests twice.

You do know...

The cinebench R15 Opencl test depends ONLY on GPU...

Main processor performance (CPU)

CINEBENCH test procedures include a comprehensive test of the main processor’s performance by rendering a photo-realistic 3D scene. This scene, with approx. 280,000 polygons, uses various algorithms and all available cores. The test result is displayed in points.

 

Graphics card performance (OpenGL)

This test uses a car chase consisting of complex 3d scenes to ascertain the graphics card’s OpenGL render performance. This scene contains a large amount of geometry (approx. 1 million polygons), high-res textures and numerous effects. The result is displayed in frames per second.

 

it does both

and he uses the same GPU for both tests

it is obvious that the 8350 was bottlenecking his GPU

You were already getting 70 fps. I mean sure it's gone up, but by an important metric? I'm not sure. Knowing that your CPU was limiting you anyway, you could have afforded some AA at no cost, too.

Not true.

 

An FX8 @ 4.6Ghz with a 780 at stock only does about 100fps.

 

Meanwhile an i5-4670k @ stock with a 780 @ stock does over 120fps.

 

When you overclock the i5, that fps grows.

I have never seen this results replicated in benchmarks anywhere else. Yes you always see gains, but never double the FPS everytime it was just maybe 10 or 20% better.

 

I mean no offense but I seriously doubt your results, your issues on the previous chip were probably somewhere else.

I just swapped from an ol' Phenom II 965 which was OC'd to 3.8GHz, to an i7 4790k, which i have running @4.6GHz. All i gotta do now is wait for my GTX 980 which is arriving tomorrow.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

I had the FX for a year and 6 months of which with the 780, during which time i ran both at stock and with OC but always 70-80 fps in titanfall nothing more.

There were perhaps no show stopping issues but your previous motherboard obviously had issues. Sorry but if I see 100 tests from everyone around the web that show one result and I see yours showing something way abnormal, I'm gonna assume that your result is the anomaly.

Sure sounds great.  I only switched an hour ago but plan to add crysis 3 once its done downloading on the i5 machine.

What are you talking about?  Results ALL over the web are showing exactly what he experienced.

You have to OC an FX8 to 5Ghz just to match an i5-4440 at stock in BF4 multiplayer with an R9 290X.
