I5 4440 vs fx 8320

[Ahmadovich]

Should I get I5 4440
or FX 8320 if I'm gonna OC it to 4.5Ghz ?
Main use : Gaming
GPU : TWO CF R9 270

I will be pretty happy if there are benchmarks
thanks in advance

Keep it to a single thread, please.

Straight answer FX 8320

Not straight answer. Keep in mind you are going to have to buy a pretty serious cooler to tame that chip at 4.5GHZ and a beefy PSU. By the time you are done you could have bought an unlocked I5 (yeah I know everyone does that and it's boring but there is a good reason) and OC'd it to 4.2-4.4 on a Hyper 212

Also why are you buying 2 comparativly weak GPUs and CFing them? You will end up with all the headaches of multi GPU support and will end up spending somewhere between a 280X and a 290

The less expensive.

Go with the i5 4440 its faster at stock than the 8350 in most games. And I doubt the OC on the 8350 will give you much more benefit.

The i5-4440 will perform about the same as the 4570, for which there are benchmarks-a-plenty.

It's not a fair comparison, though, because the FX-8320 will be more expensive than the i5-4440.

You might OC it, but you're not going to OC to any set speed of 4.5GHz, without serious cooling, or good luck. And with serious cooling, there comes the question of whether you'd have been better off getting a CPU that needed less OCing to get that same performance in the first place.

How many threads are you going to start about the same thing?

Oh for shure get the FX 8350. OC a bit and enjoy. gl

is it better at Gaming ?

is CM Evo 212 ok for that ?

I only have one but I intened to get another one in the Future and CF them

I will play games like BF4, Crysis, Farcry 3, COD Ghosts, AC

Is hyper 212 a Serious Cooler ? for FX 8320 @4.5Ghz ?

it's Cheaper than it in My country

You can easily OC to 4.4-4.5GHz with the CM Hyper 212. You have to turn off the Turbo and use the less possible Vcore. Most 8-core FX will work at 4.2GHz with 1.38v or lower. From my experience, 4.4GHz will give you the best wattage/performance. Also at that frequency the CPU is able to drive any GPU at 60fps or above in almost any game at 1080p or above.

 

[lyssword]

If it was 4570k I'd say intel, bu since it is 4400 with 3.1/3.3 the clock speed won't be enough to catch up to OC 8320 in multithreaded.

"Gaming"

4440 is faster for gaming, even with the OC for the 8320...

for most video conversion, rendering and file compression work the 8320 OC is going to be faster.

also you can't ignore the huge difference in power usage and "plug an play" from a stock CPU compared to a 125W TDP CPU with 1GHz OC.

What a surprise(well not really) they used win7(the tests should've been atleast with win8) & wasn't this site supposedly trashing AMD for no reason :hmm:
