Here it is, for your viewing pleasure, my Crysis 2 playthrough. I did this to kinda prepare for Crysis 3. And I'm posting each part as I go along.

You'll notice as the series progresses, my framerates get a little better and the screen tearing all but goes away. This is because I upgraded from my i7 3770k to an FX 8350. The difference is astounding. I still have both machines - wouldn't be much of a computer nut if I didn't - but am loving this new proc.

Anyways, I thought this would be a great way to prep for C3 would be to review the awesome of C2 in a play-by-play at maxed out settings.

I hope you guys enjoy!

You went....from a Core i7.....to a Bulldozer.......and you got BETTER FPS BECAUSE OF THAT?
bich please:




i7 3770k rolls over your bulldozer in every regard, only reason for a higher FPS would be because of a better GPU in your FX machine.

i doubt with all i know AMD Bulldozer can outmatch Intel I7! Not yet, defenetly not today, esp not 3770k!

Please ran the Benchmark and do the same comparison with Crysis 1, and Warhead! i'd like to see FX beat intel! I mean it Bro! Ain't gonna happen!

Oh God da baitz!


Brah, I own both. You can be a fanboy and post whatever garbage you like from any shill site you like. I OWN BOTH. AS IN: I RUN BOTH DAILY FOR VARYING TASKS. I'm not some dopey fanboy, unlike you, I actually OWN BOTH. I OWN BOTH. RUN BOTH. AND LIKE THEM BOTH. But the AMD is more stable and has better power draw and a smoother process run than the Intel which jumps all over the dang board.

I posted the vids for folks to enjoy. Don't be such an Intel-bich-boy that you'd rather troll than watch some decent videos.

Relax kid, you'll live longer.

Edit:

And, at the moment, both machines are running 2x Radeon HD 7850's.
Same/Same setups.
True, I've ordered a 7970 for the AMD rig (which will be my primary), but it's not here yet; so they're both running 2x 7850's in CFX.
AND THE AMD GETS THE BETTER FRAMERATES!! OH NOES! BETTER CALL THE INTEL SHILLS TO GET IN HERE AND TROLLZ US TO DEATHZ WITH CRAZY CHARTS AND GRAPHS!

It's true, the 3770k is better in some tasks - namely rendering in 3D Studio Max with Mental Ray. And I'm sure it "performs" better in all of your wonderful - yet meaningless - synthetic benchmarks. But it's not stable. At all.

i.e.: "Synthetic Benchmark": This is a program or task whose sole function is to spit out an arbitrary number while accomplishing no known real-world task or serving an actual function. Proven time and time again that, while amusing, since they perform no real function, they are no real test of any hardware's capabilities. Synthetic Benchmarks are generally enjoyed by the masses, but serve no real function within the professional world as any numbers they generate serve no real functions and can be easily skewed to misrepresent any/all actual performances. The professional world tends to stick with actual tests of known products in a repeatable and controlled environment with the setups and results on hand for access by IT at any time.

has better power draw


No.
You still haven't said if they have different GPU's or not.

And here you go again with pictures from some site shilling a product. What part of: "I own both" did you not understand?

Let me define "Better Power draw" so that you clearly understand the term(s):

Better power draw, in this case, doesn't refer to the total wattage consumed over a given period so much as a more EVEN power draw throughout the performance task. A more even power draw results in a more even processing cycle and, by extension, more accurate processing overall. Because the power draw is more even across the board, it's far less likely to bottom out during the process cycle and complete each task without having to re-fetch/re-decode as "Hyperthreaded" processors are notorious for doing.
