@Tsuki Clueless about what?

Facts have a pesky way of gettin' all up in your opinion huh?

Lol. You are trying soooo hard. It's cute. Does Windows handle network communications? And if so, how does it do that if an i5 has the same amount of cores for gaming as an i7? Unless of course... You're clueless.

So you're confirming that the OP's problems have very little to do with the performance hit to his CPU he's talking about? Good, glad that is settled. Your point in this thread is...? Yes they are. An i7 has more cores than an i5, correct? And it's amusing that you are accusing me of using a Strawman argument. When that's all you and Faa seem to rely on. Who said anything about "dramatically"?(One of those pesky strawmen you were accusing me of.) Unless of course you're willing to concede that the IPC deficit of the 8350 isn't as big of a deal when it comes to online shooters? In an MMO it's even more of a drain and will DRASTICALLY influence gameplay. And in context, with out your selective editing, it's very apparent I understood it as well. Because I brain farted and meant processes, and instead used calls. Mistakes don't ever happen here apparently.

What's the processor you're using? It might not have an iGPU.

Yes, an object, handled by servers and the packets sent back and forth add more CPU processes. I had GPU Draw calls on the brain, it should be a CPU process. An i7 isn't better than an i5, or an 8350? You sure? Ok, I'll make sure that all those Muhmurpurgers and and to a lesser extent MOBA's that are CPU bound that they are doing it wrong. Any time you add an online gameplay component you are dramatically increasing CPU processes from the packets. And will affect your CPU's performance as it has an additional load. Because you can't understand sarcasm? Or the graph is hard for you to read?

So you have nothing. That was quite easy to prove.

Because...?

Have you considered an AMD kaveri? It rocks at open CL stuff like photoshop.

For the games you play, an i3 4330 is the best for your budget.

Compression between your chip and cooler should be the only thing spreading your material. The business card method has been proven to introduce air bubbles, which just trap heat, instead of allowing heat to transfer from your chip to your heatsink.

Basically, yes. Anytime you implement an online component, it's going to immediately need more CPU calls. An i7 will benefit because it has more cores which gives it more multi threading. How this affects say something like an 8350, is that it's already balancing the games engine plus it's now trying to decipher the packets it's sending and receiving. The improved IPC and multithreading really helps the i7. And to a lesser extent the i5. Leaving the 8350 having to use all of it's cores to do what the Intel i5 can do online.

In my opinion Logitech G502 is the best mouse out there right now. With a Mionix Naos 7000 being REALLY close behind.

If I were buying a computer with a budget over 800 dollars, intel, no question about it. Depends on the games, resolution and if you're using mantle or not. But usually that's true.

Why anyone listens to Faa is beyond me. What resolution are you even running at? 720p? And the CPU load increases? You don't say... I'm shocked... Battlefield 4 isn't as multithreaded as people make it out to be? AMD: Intel: Totally, it doesn't balance the load between cores at all... OP: You're not really being descriptive of your problem. Is it lag spikes from your internet? Are you having problems with frames per second online during a 64 player conquest map? What is your CPU load and GPU load at? There's more going on then saying "My performance isn't great, so AMD sucks".
