yeah there are some parts of the game that are not super cpu heavy but it still makes no sense for the 4790 to fall behind. worse case scenario should have them getting the same framerate. after all the 4790 is clocked higher w turbo and has more cache too so even if HT did not help it should have at lease been tied.
the game would not be playable in spots with that cpu and running very high settings. if anything in the background needed even 2 or 3% of that cpu the game would hitch as its basically pegged the whole time with the game.
thats before the 1.3 patch that added better HT support. every cpu with HT including i7 got a nice boost.

and Crysis 3 runs a lot better with Haswell so thats why even the i3 does good in this game. still the 4790 should not ever be slower in Crysis 3 so something is up with the techspot results.
The point wouldn't be to prove anything about the G3220, but to be able to see how much of an advantage HT confers to a lowly i3.
no it would serve no point at all because on higher settings the CPU would just be tripping on itself in many areas of this game. the average framerate may look okay overall but it will stutter like crazy in spots. I've already tried this running just two cores of my CPU which would smoke the crap out of that G3220. plus I still have the rest of my CPU that was taking care of any background tasks.
I know you don't need to see dual core results because you are a member of the quad core police, but whether you think so or not, there would be value in illustrating for others how badly a 2C/2T CPU performs vs those with higher thread capabilities.
why don't you pay more attention to what I'm trying to tell you instead of making ignorant comments? I told you I tried to run it on just two cores of my CPU. it hitched and stuttered in many places and would not be playable in many areas of the game. two cores in my CPU will destroy that Pentium and again I still have CPU left for background tasks. so just looking at the average frame rate would not tell you the whole story because it would not show the hitching. do you really not understand that simple concept?
it was not necessarily the minimum that was causing the hitching. I never saw it drop below 30 or 40 frames per second most of time but it was quick fast drop that made the hitching. that's what I'm trying to get through your thick skull that it's not going to be reflected in just the frames per second numbers. this isn't something I'm pulling out of my rear as I tested the game myself on some different levels. and it would only be worse with that Pentium CPU as it is much slower than two of my cores and has no more resources left for any background task.All I am trying to say is it would be helpful for OTHERS to see actual benchmark results, even if they did take your word as the gospel, it's nice to have third party confirmation and a pretty graph to prove it.
Also, I did already state that these tests need to show minimums, so back at you as far as paying attention.
it's also not rocket science to know that what I was doing would represent exactly how nearly every single person with a Pentium CPU would be trying to play the game. I was just doing some real world testing and nothing more but if it makes you feel somehow superior to think that I would be too damn incompetent to figure out a way to try and actually make it playable on my own system if I had to then tell yourself that.
Can't understand why the SLI setup. Nobody is going to run a SLI rig with a dual core. And what is with the 4330 beating the 4360 in BF4? That's not right:

If not for that glaring inconsistency, I would say this graph tells the story re minimums on 2T CPUs.
Anecdotally, I see my nephew playing BF4 MP with a 4.0GHz G3258 fairly well as long as the connection is good and the server is not too full. Playing with 10-15 players is not a real problem for him, my unofficial FRAPS observations has him falling into the low 40s, but then again he also has a GTX770 and plays at 1600x900, which might be helping out some.
