My Haswell (4) v. Gulftown (6) Gaming Rigs on BF3

[Eureka]

Everything is still GPU limited.

I have to disagree with this point.

I just bought my first 120 Hz monitor. I have now been convinced that there is no such thing as too much CPU.

I want to get 120 fps in Battlefield 3 on 64 players. There is no processor that can do this right now, from what I've seen. Even players with 3930Ks at 4.7+ GHz are having trouble keeping it at 120 fps.

Still not GPU limited. 🙁

i stand corrected...

I have no argument to your complaint if ur playing in 3d.

However i believe the CPU bottleneck is like 3-5% at most... so i think you are GPU limited.
😛

I wouldnt see you running into any problems with per say Titans in SLI.
Which i swore i would NEVER end up getting... but may end up just getting because i have no cpu upgrade path at the moment.
Well... i am looking at the dual Ivy-E systems now as i want MOAR CORES!!

This is a useless comparison since you have two very different system with even different graphic cards.

I mean your 20fps difference is likely due to the graphic card and not the CPU. We also know from benchmarks and reviews that haswell is a little bit faster in games over the 6 core cpu's, but only by a very small 3-4fps

I am you and you are me 😱. I went 120hz with two cards and realized that current CPUs are adequate for a single card in this game but not two cards when trying to push higher FPS. And my CPU is so far behind where it needs to be that there is no chance of CPUs improving that much any time soon. A tragic problem to have, I know. Life is rough.
