I knew this going in, , I have the utmost respect for Intel Users,, Intel is so good at So many things.
My point is,, I prefer gaming at 2560x1440,, I have an 8 core CPU at 5.0Ghz,, two 970's and it pegs my monitor at 75fps. ~V-sync~ on. I hate Tearing
I wouldn't use the Intel any other way,,, so with that said,, AMD,, For me, Is the cost effective choice.
