Upgrade to amd?

[Guest Haduvokone]

Hello, i currently have an i5 3570 and i have been thinking of selling it and getting a 8320 because it has 8 cores

and games are really starting to benifit from that i know it has poor single peformance but with dx12 and mante....

 

so what do you guys think and again i know the single core peformance is really bad

[stconquest]

That is not a good upgrade.  You are spending money to improve your gaming experience, the 8320 is not a gaming improvement.  I run a 3570K @ stock, why do you nee the extra performance?

[DigitalHermit]

nope...

 

It'll be better to get an i7 that is compatible with your mobo instead...

[SuperPug]

No... Im pretty sure that would actually perform worse in games (If at all then maybe an improvement in BF4)

Thats a downgrade.  Just because a game can use 8 threads, doesn't mean it benefits from it.  You can count the number of games that really benefit from more threads on one hand, and an i5 still performs better than an FX8 in all but one of them, and that one is a difference of 1fps which is margin of error.

The 8320 would be a downgrade in many ways. Yes, the multi-threaded performance would be slightly better, but the single-threaded performance would be significantly worse. You'd be better off buying an Xeon E3 1230 V2 if you wanted better multi-threaded performance, which you'd only need if you wanted to game/stream or render or other heavily multi-threaded tasks.

i know i know just talking about the proper multi core support of dx12

I have an FX-4300, and very happy with its performance in gaming thus far. But I highly recommend you stick with intel at the moment.

Its not going to be truly implemented in games for many many years.  It took a long time for DX11 to really be used, and DX12 will help Intel out as well.

Haha! Nice title. As if you could "upgrade" to amd cpu's. Lol, this humor made my day.

[Lord Pantaloons]

It would be a downgrade, I'm not trying to tell you what to do with your money.....but don't do that

thank you guys i knew about the peformance worse now i was just talking about multi core support but an xeon is not an option about 120 eur more expensive

[Guest Haduvokone]

how to change the title?

as you can see by this the 3570(k) and the 8320 do trade blows here and there but the i5 is just better overall. not to mention you would have to buy a new mobo and thats more money down the drain. generally no one "upgrades" to AMD

It's more expensive for the CPU, but you wont have to buy a new motherboard or anything so it comes to around the same. Also, the 1230 v2 is only 187:

That's not the same CPU, and that's not the same currency. You want the V2, not V3 (different socket and slighty different architecture). Also both the 1231 and 1230 will do, so whichever is cheaper. That website doesn't even have the v2.

 

Keep in mind this is only relevant for non-gaming workloads.

 

 

Here, this should ship to you (only buy if you have a current need for better multi-threaded performance):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-BX80637E31230V2-Processor-PC-LGA1155/dp/B0084JTFMI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421254217&sr=8-1&keywords=1230+v2

 

using google's conversion, that comes out to 235 euros

 

However an FX-8320 + GA-970A-UD3P (cheapest board to support FX-8 core overclocking) and Cooler Master 212 Evo comes out to 246 Euro. It would be silly to get the FX.

actually sorry about the worong one but the thing is i will be upgrading my mb nomather what i should have included it in the first post sorry

[FellTheSky]

change the tittle to "downgrading to amd".

 

The answer is to stick with your i5, or buy a 3770

Why bother? You don't need to. It sounds like you're just trying to throw money away. What is the goal here?

that's an perfect title and i wanted to do that! but i don't know how

[Darel]

This is madness

wanna have some cpu headroom for the future for maby another gpu

[harrynowl]

you titled the thread wrong, I think you mean "downgrade"

this would be a downgrade in regards to gaming, not an upgrade...at all.
