gamegpuCall of Duty Black Ops III Beta CPU Benchmark

[TheELF]

I will help you correct yourself, here:


If Top GPU SLI system is your moderate PC, than we have nothing to talk about here, and anywhere else. </alternate_reality>

You get 100-140fps on a dual core i3 and if you aim for ps4 graphics quality you will get that with a mid maybe highish gpu.
But I guess cpu was teknobugs main point here.

Crystal ball much?

So he basicaly compared GPU bound system to CPU bound system, took the numbers and run with them?

 

[monstercameron]

Yea, that is the problem with FX. Only equal to intel in the best case scenarios, and that only to an i5, while using more power. And much worse in some games, even newer ones. Just doesnt seem worth it to save a hundred bucks or less in a rig that will last several years.

I will grant that the FX is more attractive than previously, since more games are performing well on it, the price has come down, and they are somewhat more efficient. But intel is still the way to go in a mid to high end rig.

Which no one disagrees with at this point, this talking point doesn't need to be brought up in every single thread.

Right. It's a pragmatic way to look at things - if all modern CPUs can outrun anything less than $1000+ in GPUs, one could as easily say "Look, the Sandy Bridge i3 is effectively as good as the FX-9xxx!". It's a salient point that FX chips often only look good when it doesn't matter.

In principle though, it's a good showing for AMD. The scaling is excellent, and it might be indicative of something, namely that in the future, as CPU requirements rise, there will be games noticeably slow on Intel hardware (e.g. sub 30fps mins, maybe sub 45 averages on an i3), but stay pegged above 60 on an equivalently priced FX.

Cpu usage (for games) will rise when the next generation of consoles will come up ,so in 4-5 years.
Of course devs will come up with ways to make additional eyecandy require the newest gpus and the cpus to go with them,but I don't think that that's the same.

I already posted my findings playing the game. The site the OP posted to seems to always do reviews on up comong games. I would caution that this is a beta game. My 290 CF is showing lower results than my single GTX980TI which leads me to believe that there is not yet support for a CF profile (COD always seems slow on this).
Now have read the article which confirms no CF support.)

if it's anything like the COD from last year it should deliver PS4 quality with a 750 TI

Not at the 100-140fps we where talking about.
But yeah 750 should be enough for any sane person.

Clearly the intent of the OP was to showcase a game in which FX performs relatively well compared to intel. Are you saying the more complete picture is not something that should be posted? Seems like the truth hurts.

This is the FX's strength and weakness. Once in a while it's close to i7 territory, sometimes it trails a Pentium. It's not as balanced as Intel's CPU's, not many dispute that. And for some the extra wattage used by the CPU is a big deal to them... for me, given that CPU's are rarely at 100% load in modern games, especially four module / eight threaded CPU's, I don't think the power use is a big deal, for some it is, that data is out there too. In this game it looks like the FX will do well, hopefully this is a sign of things to come due to the current generation of consoles.

 

[cytg111]

This is unpossible?!? We all know games can't use more than four cores.

Does that mean .. that I can have my cake.. and eat it too? Not saying its aliens.. but its aliens!!!11

ed: can it with the amd vs intel bull .. A game threads well. Its a good thing. Idiots.

We all know the heirachy, we know the facts. You are comparing fx to intel outside of the scope of this topic. So yea its a bit annoying and flamebaity.

OP just posted a chart, nothing more.

Lookit, a game that might be halfway well written.




Viva La FX. And also old i5's

Frozentundra123456, like Yuriman said, OP just posted a chart :whiste:
Your crusade is a bit bizarre at this point cuz like many told you, we all know how CPU's stack up so go troll somewhere else please.

On topic, 5960x has a bright future and i see one in mine :biggrin:

SlowSpyder, I've been running the beta a fair amount on both of my cpus below but I bet your rig would do fine. A chance for your 9370 to use the cores and speed.

There's a good chance my 7970 will limit me more than my CPU if these benches are representative of how things will shake with the finished release.

 

[ShintaiDK]

Be careful with prescripted benchmark.

I was, I said 'if'... But I wouldn't be surprised if my 7970 was a bigger limiter for me.
