Considering Options...

[Hyphnx]

I'm debating whether or not to make the switch from AMD to Intel. Currently, I'm using the 8350 with 2x R9 290Xs. Now my question is... would I see less of a bottleneck or greater gains if I switch to a 4670K or 4770K. I planned on buying a new case and motherboard for better airflow and more space between the cards and thought I might as well upgrade.

 

 

Thanks

I would just overclock the 8350 to 4.7GHz+

no the 8350 is basically the amds version of a 4770k just at a lower clock and if you were to change you would have to get a new motherboard are reinstall and all that fun stuff

You're fine that 8350 isn't bottlenecking anything

If you are just gaming (which you don't mention) overclock the 8350 as far as you can.

I am just gaming. It's currently cooled by a h110 with no overclock..

 

Overclocking scares me I also have an outdated board. The 890GXM G-65 by MSI that I wanted to upgrade.

then if your thinking of getting a 4670k for gaming its not going to benefit you its just going to act like your 8350 without a oc
