Hi,
Putting together a new rig (Mostly geared towards playing Planetside 2) - I know it relies on your CPU a fair bit and have been looking at some benchmark comparisons - it appears the i7 3770k give higher returns than the much more expensive i7 3970X and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this?
1) Is this likely to hold true on future CPU reliant titles? (Lower core count CPU's giving higher returns?)
2) Is this accurate from anyone's experience?
Don't get me wrong - I think it's ace, a £240 CPU giving better returns than a £780 CPU - I was just a bit surprised that it was giving BETTER returns - suggesting it's not caused by a GPU bottleneck?
Thanks,
