Crysis 3 CPU performance test

multi-core game

bu-bu-bu-bu no point in HT and we should all stick to i5-3570s right! pfft -- for $100 i'll take some HT please.

Woot Woot FX

I'm pretty surprised by that FX score, and since my llano rig is at 3.6 I'm sure it'll run well enough until Haswell arrives

SP or online?

Man the FX 8350 kicks ass and the FX-4100 destroys the i3.

Not that it would have made much difference, but why no ivy bridge? Seems strange to test amds latest against Intel's previous generation.

 

[grimpr]

Its a conspiracy against Intel.

I never said that. Obviously the most valid test though would be to compare the most recent generation of each processor. Do you dispute this?

They really should have ivy bridge up there, but we can all sorta guess on where it would be at this point anyway. Glad to see AMD isn't doing as poorly on new games as it is in other areas!

Clock the 2600K @ 4GHz.

 

[grimpr]

Clock the 2600K @ 4GHz.

Doesnt matter since price/performance in this multithreaded game the FX 8350 simply kicks ass for 195$ compared to the 319$ Core i7 2600k

 

[SPBHM]

interesting results,
I'm curious to see results from other sources,

also comparing to their result of the alpha MP, it's quite different

OMG - The difference between the 2500K and the 2600K is enormous!! I should sell my 3570K and get a 3770K, HT is really spreading it's wings in this benchmark.

In all seriousness, the 8350 is doing very well in this game. Good showing for AMD on this one.

Really impressive for AMD. Battlefield 3 is also a newer, highly threaded game where AMD does well, though it is more limited by the GPU.

The Russian site also noted that dual-core (aka Pent and i3) need not apply with Crysis 3, quad core and better only.

Sadly, most GPUs won't measure up either. Looks like you need a 660 class GPU or better to do 1920x1080 at a reasonable framerate, and they're recommending 1.5GB of VRAM.

They only add new CPUs when Intel/AMD send them free ones. FX8350 wasn't in benchmarks for a while after launch until AMD sent them a sample.

Very impressive showing when a developer codes for multi-core CPUs. If FX8350 had Sandy Bridge IPC, it would have been one fast CPU for modern multi-threaded games. Hopefully AMD can get IPC up 20-25% with Steamroller.

There definitely seems to be a benefit from having more than 4 threads available; Intel's hexacore, AMD's octacore and Intel's hyperthreaded quad core processors all see benefits. AMD seems to benefit most of all. Good for them, it's nice to see their flagship CPU outdo Intel's best mid-tier part from 2011...it's better than they have done in the past...

Too bad Intel seems to be stubbornly resisting upping their clock speed or offering a mainstream hex core part though.

Destroys? No. 18/22fps min 34/36fps avg. Its the FX-4300 with 48fps avg which is alot faster.

Like to see a chart showing GHz performance scaling for a given CPU

 

[sm625]

How the heck is a phenom X2 faster than an i3-530?

indeed, look at their Crysis 3 MP alpha testing, the 530 is a lot faster, it's a really strange result, I wonder what changed the results so much (the relative performance from these CPUs, even if the SP is really a lot more demanding)...

 

[Tsavo]

3770K @ 4GHz would be 12+ FPS faster than the 8350 while using 900 less watts.
