Intel vs AMD for gaming?

[wingman99]

I'm confused, are you agreeing or arguing with what I stated ? I'm seeing 300mhz-500mhz extra on Intel side on those charts + core count means nothing if the games don't use the extra threads - and for the games that do use them the FPS are stacked much closer. I'm not an AMD or Intel fanboy, simply stating conclusions drawn from a ton of different reviews, AMD flat out wins (at least with Ryzen 3) if both are at the same speed (even better if the game can use all cores) and Intel wins in every other category. My original point stands.

Here's the 3700x keeping up with the 9700k in most games even though the turbo it's 500mhz lower :

I'm not arguing, I'm discussing showing the facts. I watched the complete Video and the i7 9700k beat the 7 3700X in all games by 10% to 23% in high FPS 1080p 144Hz 240Hz gaming.

AMD and Intel compete on price performance not architecture and clock speed for gaming. Intel wins in price for increased FPS for high 144Hz to 240Hz performance over AMD in gaming.

Yup... and if you can utilize the extra cores, the value is most certainly there.

As was said, we all agree, you honestly cant go wrong with either for most people. But if you keep within the context of the thread (gaming) and how 'better' is defined, intel is the better gaming cpu for 1080p. How much people value the difference in performance and price is up to them and their needs.

for me im at 1080P@144hz most demanding game i play is warframe, everything maxed out with AA maxed. it never dips below 144fps, with my i7 4970k at a fixed 4ghz with a 1060 6gb. i never saw the vaule just yet to upgrade, i haven't see any games that caught my eye. i have started playing battalion 1944 but that doesn't seem all that demanding either at 1080p. my only advice is upgrading to me is if your games dont run the way you want them too. as well as your needs outside of gaming now given how many more cores are being packed onto cpus. then there is the updated USB/PCIE feature set on newer boards even then for my self i cant see upgrading just for that either, as i don't use any external drives that need the speed, ect.

why not just make your current rig a smaller profile and make it your lan rig and home rig? im going to be honest i skipped over a bit of the posts, it seemed the same talking points. i never did see if anyone suggested making your 4780k main and lan rig.
