8350 vs 4790k OC'd and with a 290, how big is the gap?

[Pokemonking81]

(I'm not sure if this should go into CPU's, Motherboards, and Memory or Graphics Cards)

I was curious how big the gap between these two CPU's is when oc'd and with a mid range oc'd video card.

Systems Specs

8350 - 4.6Ghz

NH-D14

990fxa-ud3h

8GB Hyperx 2400@2133 (I will put a CPU-Z shot of the 8350 when I hook that pc back up)

 

4790k - 4.7Ghz

Hyper 212 Evo

Z87 X-Power

8GB Hyperx 2400@2133 

On a cardboard box.

 

Video Card - Diamond Multi Media r9 290 with an Arctic Accelero Xtreme 3 @1155 Core and 1400 Mem 

 

Update - I added Fire strike. (I was on driver version 17.2.1 with the 8350, then just updates to 17.3.3 because I'm putting my PC back together, I don't know why it's not approved)

Games Tested 

Crysis 1

Crysis 2

Battlefield 4 Single player

Bioshock Infinite 

Hitman

Mirrors Edge Catalyst 

and Portal 2

 

Testing - I ran each benchmark 3 times (FPS recorded with Fraps) then then got the average from that. I ran games at 1080,1440 and 2560x1080

 

Settings Used 

Spoiler

 

Results are Average then Minimum.

 

Crysis 1 For this benchmark I used Smurfynet's tool from the Steam Forums 

1080p - 8350 - 51.2 -  4790k - 87.8

1440p - 8350 - 47.67 - 4790k - 80.94

2560x1080 - 8350 - 44.6 - 4790k - 77.7

 

Crysis 2 For this bench I ran mission 44 Semper fi or die, I walked to the truck, drove it to the check point then stopped. (I ran this test with both cpu's again and the results were similar each time)

1080p - 8350 - 96.8/74.3 - 4790k - 97.1/74.6

1440p - 8350 - 57.9/44.6 - 4790k - 59.5/46.6

2560x1080 -  8350 - 72.9/55.6 - 4790k -74.9/58

 

Battlefield 4 - I ran the mission Tashgar (the intro)

1080p - 8350 - 89.2/42.3 - 4790k - 93.3/69.6

1440p - 8350 -61.8/47.3 - 4790k - 63.1/48

2560x1080 - 8350 - 72.9/58 - 4790k - 74.9/58

 

Bioshock Infinite - I ran the built in benchmark.

1080p - 8350 -107.4/27.1 - 4790k - 119.6/31.2

1440p - 8350 - 69.9/19.4 - 4790k - 75.8/26.6 

2560x1080 - 8350 - 82.4/24.5 - 4790k - 96.5/28.9

 

Hitman - I ran the built in benchmark in DX12 only.

1080p - 8350 - 82.3/.96 - 4790k - 82.1/1.6

1440p - 8350 - 47.8/.92 - 4790k - 52.3/1.6

2560x1080 - 8350 - 51.5/.76 - 4790k - 72.8/1.3

 

Mirrors Edge Catalyst - I used the GamersNexus benchmark run for this test (I ran this test with both cpu's again and the results were similar each time ) 

1080p - 8350 - 76.5/57.3 - 4790k - 77.6/66

1440p - 8350 - 56.5/48.3 - 4790k - 52.4/45.6 (I ran this multiple times and the results are consistent)

2560x1080 - 8350 - 64.3/57.3 - 4790k - 64.7/55 (Same with this one)

 

Portal 2 - I did the same level each time (Don't know the name but I will find out), Wheatley combines two test chambers if that helps.

1080p - 8350 - 289.5/279.7 - 4790k - 295.6/293

1440p - 8350 - 220.1/137.3 - 4790k - 278.8/250.3

2560x1080 - 8350 - 275.2/202 - 4790k - 295.6/291

 

 

There are my results, that's about it. If you have any question feel free to ask.

I agree, it could have been better.

You telling us the 8350 at those speeds is way behind a x58 xeon? and the xeon is on par with haswell?

If I recall correctly, Crysis 1 has pretty serious issues with FX CPU's since they came out long after the game was patched.

That is correct, it was a pain to get the game to even start up.

[Aphexxis]

The video result is not comparable that's a GTX 780 maxed on 1080P, not an R9 290 which should be better at Crysis.

@Aphexxis

On an Amd chip you have to do this http://steamcommunity.com/app/17300/discussions/0/864945401070748061/ to even get the game to start up, if you were wondering.

WOW

 

That's..... odd.... especially for a CPU to command such a difficult way to start a game up.

In Cinebench my 980X scores 821 at stock and 927 at 4.0 GHz. If I had a better cooler than this seven-year-old AIO that somehow still works, it could go further.

 

X58 is still really good at multithreaded stuff.
