I wish you'd throw in a discrete graphics card as well and compare, just as an academic exercise.

@Paul: Arma 3 is ridiculously processor bound overall, it's possible that the scenario you're running is more GPU bound. If you want, i could mail a few (or optionally, lots) of performance logs and charts of the game. There are a few benchmark runs available in the Steam workshop, I've used...

I think some people here forget that there are other countries where people may not have the same resolutions that are common with gamers and enthusiasts in the US. :) Keeping 1600x900 is perfectly fine, i think. Helps compare with the lowest-budget build.

Note: Arma 3 is largely CPU bound, and seems to favour IPC.

But didn't you guys cover a similar process for the Tikki?

Don, just a little point that's worth keeping in mind, Tech Report had a lot of data suggesting that in BF4, AMD+Mantle could be the same as Nvidia + D3D, basically implying that AMD's DX drivers have greater CPU overhead than Nvidia's.Could you look into that as well, please?

Might be nice in a case that allows intake from the bottom and the side and exhausts out the top.

My lowly ALC888S has both these features, they are adjustable driver settings. I'm really looking forward to the speaker test, since speakers appear to have very low impedences, so DF would be very low.

LucasArts? Weren't they dissolved? Aren't SW games published under EA now?

What's an iSSD? Integrated (soldered) SSD?

Well, I don't remember VIA being trolls so maybe they have a point.

Americans should relax, I'm pretty sure it's just Japan's local price. In my country a GTX 670 still costs an equivalent of $480.

2015, not 2014.
