    Intel Pentium G3258 4.6 ghz vs i5 4690k 4.6 ghz

    Example: If you have $500 to spend on a GPU and CPU for a gaming rig it would be better to spend $50 on the CPU and $450 on the GPU then $250 on both. It's best to get the greatest GPU you can, as a high end CPU is way less than a high end GPU. So the upgrade path later is less expensive.

    Xbox one or this pc?

    I just sold my PS4 and built my first computer. I was promised 60 fps and 1080p resolution and it was not delivered, I'm not sure if it will ever be at this point. I spent about $1500 on a computer, including monitor, keyboard, mouse, and OS. It destroys the PS4, there is no comparison...

    Please Help Me! I've Tried everything!!!!! i7 4790K TOOO HOT

    I have a 4790k, Asus Maximus VII Hero and H100i. I'm running OC at 4.6 ghz at 1.22V I believe, maybe 1.24. I haven't really dialed the voltage in, just got everything stable. Running something like Aida64 my temps bounce around between 62-67, one core will bounce to 70 every once in a while...

    4790k temp problems

    I have an H100i and with the auto overclock/adaptive voltage on my Maximus VII I'm seeing right at 75 C with Aida64 at 4.6 ghz. Stock clock with turbo drops it down to 68-70 C. This is my first time overclocking so I tried it with the auto features, then went back to stock. I'll do it again...

    Poor gaming performance - AMD CPU to blame?

    This is what was happening to me with GTX760 SLI and an OC FX-8320. Huge fps drops whenever I was in a high action area, also gpu usage was about where yours was. Upgraded to a 4790k and at stock speed doubled my FPS. The average FPS went from 60 to over 120 and the drops would go to 35-40 and...
  7. Q

    Which spec/cpu is better? (i5-4690 or FX-8320)

    Personal experience time: My computer was first built with an FX-8320 and MSI GTX 760 SLI. Long story, I got one GPU free from a friend and just added a second since it was cost effective. In games like BF4 and Titanfall, my performance was not what is expected. I'd get on average 60 fps on...

    Cpu bottleneck? Fps drops

    While that may be a solution, what's the point of having Sli 760s to play at half the systems potential
  9. Q

    Cpu bottleneck? Fps drops

    I'm having trouble with my first gaming pc I built a few weeks ago. I'm getting big fps drops and all my fps are the same between all graphics settings. Bf4 runs from 45-100 fps, average 60, on ultra and the same on low. Titanfall maxes at 60 and will drop to 45 when there's a lot of action. I'm...
