Noble sentiments and I have considerable sympathy with your motives. Unfortunately I make recommendations as a professional and the simple truth is that AMD makes nothing remotely comparable in performance to the high end Intel CPUs especially the Core i7. They represent a good value for those on a budget but they just can't deliver the same level of performance. Taking Crysis as one example at 1680 x 1060, the best AMD score is 22nd from the top, below the several standard Core 2 Duo CPUs let alone Quads, Quad extremes and Core i7. It's the difference between 163 FPS and 112. That's a performance gap that is just too big to ignore and give reputable professional advice. The situation is better in GPUs but they aren't actually part of the dispute. |
yes because alot of people will notice 41fps more? man 112 fps is still awesome. If the game ran at say 30fps and then 70fps then yes that would be somehting to talk about. However they are both over 100 fps. Consideirng an Intel CPU is 2x as much as and AMD where I am, it is still more logical to get and AMD since the intel isn't giving me anything that I would notice.
