From what i see the game uses over 2 cores. The 2500k at 3.3ghz is also faster per core, since the pentium G is at 3ghz, even if it has a little higher IPC, but offset mostly by half the cache. I guess the 2500k on a single thread is 5% slower than a G3220 at the same frequency. At 2500k stock...

I am a good such case, i gamed on a TN monitor for years, and a CRT a few years before too. I have since several months ago a Yamasaki Q271 Led, which i game on and browse the net on daily. The panel could be lower quality, and technology may have improved since then, but pixel glow on this...

It's annoying, i watched it for 5 seconds total and i couldn't take it anymore. You need to improve drastically if you want to get some attention imho.

double post.

In the last few years we got down to 10% improvement per year, how about that from now on we get a 3% improvement per year. It is good for who builds a new right now, right ? If it was not for ARM, intel might as well stop all R&D and get free profits from anybody getting a new CPU after it...

How does the conspiracy crowd lose ? I thought that intel will milk us by releasing very small incremental upgrades. I was wrong that it is not sold at a higher price, but it is a 3% increase in performance in 1 year at the same power consumption at best. And "engineering sample" is a fancy...

I game on a 1440p monitor and jaggies are very visible without AA. It is better than 1080p, but still bothers me. Believe it or not, i notice image quality difference between x8 aa and x4 aa at normal viewing distance. I think we need something like 7680x4320 monitors for AA to finally stop...

Yeah, screenshots are useless, we need pictures taken by a camera. I want to debunk what is retina display. i have a 27" 2560x1440 display 0,6 m away from me (2 feet) and i can see individual pixels at 8x ssaa on native res. Without AA i can make out individual pixels 2 meters away from the...

I happily play games at 2560 x 1440 on an oced gtx 750 ti i just got. I run almost 3 times more pixels than 1440x900 on a gpu in the same ballpark in performance as a 6970.

I run hwmonitor at all time with cpu and gpu usage data, including individual threads, and i also switch on the fly various oc and underclock settings, so i know what is the bottleneck. I will upgrade to a strong cpu and gpu in half an year, but now have a fairly low end rig, i3 3220 (3.3 ghz)...

It looks to me that price went up. 3.4(3.8 turbo) ghz 4670 is now on newegg at 220$. The refresh is 3.5(3.9 turbo) ghz will be 235$. I noticed same thing on other models, the 100 extra mhz comes at a small premium. I am upset on intel for this, not even giving a 3% speed bost after one year at...

Thanks for the replies. Gpu is not an issue, as i am cpu limited in what i play, and if i was not, i would turn off AA and buy a new one. Howere best single threaded performance is hard to buy. Tha gives a hurdle that cache is connected to each cores. If you disable 2 of the 4 cores it means...

I am fairly tech savy, knowing percentages differences between cpus, such as ivy bridge being around 6% faster than sandy bridge, but having a max overclock of around 4% lower, and using around 20% less power on the max overclock. i know of skylake, bringing mainstream quad core and so on. I...

Lowering the voltage for idle saves power, unlike what some say. I have a locked ivy bridge i3, and since i am unable to overclock it, i offset undervolted it by 0,13 volts, and i see it being 1 degrees colder at idle. I also have a profile for the GPU for when it is idle. It gets more...

I know i am in a small minority, especially since i am against what many of the readers here do, but i am curious to the reaction of the reactions. I enjoy older game more than newer ones, and new trailers leave me cold, it is all "over the top", over saturated, blurry, dof-ed (depth of...
