Only for Gaming i7 3770 is better or i5 3570? it's simple question i guess

i wil lget some benefits form HT in games ? or it's awaste ... and better get i5 3570 and save money ? thank you

 

[minitron]

For the most part there won't be a difference. I think I've seen one benchmark where HT actually helps gaming.

 

[brandon888]

minitron ? where ?


i plan to paly bf3 and bf4 when it comes as ik now bf3 uses more then 4 threds .. but it wont me bottlenecked by i5 anyway ya ??? ^^

 

[Durvelle27]

i5 and overclock because HT won't really benefit in games ?

 

[minitron]

This is stock so I doubt there would even be a difference if they overclocked.

One thing I would consider is high-end multi-GPU setups such as dual 680s in which case I would get the i7.

But they're all at least 398 fps..

i plan to go for gtx 670 sli ^^

Get the 3770Κ and OC to 4GHz with the lowest Vcore you can and you will be more than fine for BF3 MP.

wiat wait .. it has 3.9 ghz turbo so why oc then ??? or turbo works only with one core ????

Get the 3570K. The 3770K is basicly only worth the extra cash for computing tasks, not games.

I'd get the i7 just in case. You're already planning on spending $800 on video cards, what's the extra $100 at this point.

Turbo is only one core (for the maximum turbo speed), you'll be disabling this when overclocking anyways.

carp i thought it enables all cores to 3.9 ghz ;/

I would not waste $100 for a questionable benefit in gaming.

You are much better off going for the i5.

Spend that money on an awesome cooler and overclock that i5 like crazy.

 

[Dkcode]

Get it all in proportion and buy the i7, that's what I would do and why might you ask? Because I can.

There are people on here that will also tell you to spend $60 on a mobo...

 

[brandon888]

seems like answers are splitted like 50%/50% hard to choose now

Did he say his budget was unlimited and that his storage subsystem was set with 6TB in RAID 10 SSDs off an Areca ARC-1882IX-24-4G?

As he's going LGA1155 and not 2011, his budget is probably constrained in some way. That means he's giving up SSD storage, monitor quality, or RAM quantity to stay within budget. But any of these should be upgraded before going to an i7 for gaming.

it does/t even amtters .. do i have 4000$ or only 1k .... im price/pefromance fan if i7 gives me 5-7% over i5 .. i will not waste 120$ on that .... if it gives 25-30% on future games with HT .. .then well .. maybe it worth ^^ maybe my strategy is wrong .. ^^

 

[inf64]

3570+OC=win.

 

[Smartazz]

3570k and spend the extra $100 on some non reference 670s or just pocket the money. The i7 is really for compute and bragging rights.

 

[brandon888]

Smartazz
yep i will waste on asus or idk msi 670 ^^ and one more thing ... even at stock clocks 3.5 ghz .. it will bottleneck 670s in sli ? or it will be so minor bottleneck that i will not even notice ?

3770k is going to be better. It has HT for the few games that may benefit (as well as the option of turning it off) it also has more cache. The question is weather or not that's worth an extra $100. For me it was, it was within my budget so I didn't need to skimp on another part of the build (gpu for example) to get it. I also go a good while between CPU upgrades (had a Q6600 prior) the idea is to keep this setup as is, with the exception of a GPU upgrade thrown in there until Skylake. If I thought I was going to be upgrading to Haswell, I'd probably have elected to save the $100.

as i understand you plan to save your money and skip haswell ya i think yout your cpu you will be fine like 3-4 years at least

 

[2is]

Well I'm not skipping it entirely. For my desktop, yes, I just don't think I'll need it by the time it comes out. I am still running a C2D laptop though.

guys turbo boost 2.0 gives more clock speed for all cores or just for one ? form what i read ... turbo boost 1.0 gives more clock only to single core but turbo boost 2.0 to all cores ... is that correct ?

 

[lehtv]

For gaming, i5-3570K @ 4.3GHz is better and less expensive than i7-3770 at 3.5-3.9GHz, even with the additional cost of a capable aftermarket cooler. If money is not much of an object though, as the plans for 670 SLI would suggest, get i7-3770K and OC that.
