Yeah thats… i just dont know why he bought that MB+CPU if he didnt OC it. Next time get i5 + cheap mobo.
With that motherboard he should reach at least 4.9-5.0Ghz.
If you disable 1 core per module = less heat!
Actually my friend run 5.5Ghz one core per module for this game at 1.6V
Also VRMs on mobo can throttle CPU!
Run prime 95 – if throttle you HDD is fine your VRMs are not…
So if throttle you have only three choices
1. Change mobo (or CPU and MB)
2. Home-made VRM heatsings + fan (or just try with fan )
3. Bios – lower clock and lower V
Also can be GPU drivers or even PSU.
You will need to run few strees-test
Download OCCT + prime 95
Then run prime 95 (3 cores)
Run OCCT GPU
run this test for 30 min
You can see that Pentium is a good deal here. Then i reccomend FX/athlon x4 or I5 (K). OC i5 as high as possible
- pentium G3220 will be faster than E8500 4.0Ghz
Behellagh, what are you talking about?
Tell which CPU i need to buy to get minimum 45-50FPS in large battles?
Multi-core is better.
And also HSA may come usefull in games.
If we compare Dual core vs quad core – E8500 vs Q6600 in games from 2005-2008 – E8500 wins
New games scales up to 4-6 or even 8 cores – BF4/ Crysis 3/ BF3/BF:BC 2/Dragon Age and so on… Q6600 wins
Interesting is amd new “puma cores” – 24% faster than jaguar and jaguar was already 15% faster clock per clock over piledriver. So AMD already has answer in single core performance.
Look at consoles – why did they use 8 cores instead of 4 cores with higher clock.
Your right
I will have to wait first how well will elder scrolls online do on PS4/XboX One.
I saw on youtube that i7 920 3.4Ghz (with R9 260X on max settings) already bottlenecking GPU. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHeMh47rgz0
I’d take the 16 FPS over 12 FPS. But there’s a key thing here. I don’t do World Versus World so big fight problems that wvw’ers have don’t effect me except for when tequatl happens when I feel like I want to do that. Other than that I don’t have problems.
So you would spend more than 100-200$ (i5-i7) to get that performance? nice
Skylake is comming AVX3.2 – 512bit FPU – that may help
THAT is not the point.
You gave for your i7 4770K more than 300$ while you can get FX 8320 for 120$.
Problem is that no CPU can handle GW2 – even if you CPU is 100% faster than Fx 8320
when FX 8320 deeps to 10 FPS you wont get more than 20 FPS.
So is I7 4770K worth your money?
I can make my FX go to 5.4Ghz with 1 core in module but it isnt worth it..
No, they shouldn’t do DX11.2. Only people with Windows 8.1 would get it, duh.
A new API as Delta has shown with the information provided is pretty much a waste of time.
So you wont pay for better performance?
Lets say that MS can do low level API like MANTLE on win 9. Specs: Athlon x4 750K and mid GPU.
Moving on win 9 would bring you better performance than moving on i5 4670K.
Lets look at BF4 and compare FX 4300 Mantle (3.4Ghz) vs i5 4670K directX 11 – clearly win for FX 4300.
Next gen consoles now have 8 jaguar cores!
GW2 is great game – thats why they should optimize it.
- a patch with low level API for 10$ – personally i would buy it
Nope your wrong. You cannot say that FX 6300 has 3 cores and 3 threads.
I can tell you that in crysis 3 you will notice huge difference! with 6 cores is about 90-100% faster
FX 6300 has 6 cores, but it has 3 modules. So 2 cores are using same resource!
FX is 3 core CPu or 6 core CPU!
Why are all people saying that FX 6300 is 3C/6T CPU – stupid. They should say it has 6 cores but they are slower than intel cores!
Why i think so? if you say that FX 6300 has 3C/6T anyone thinks that it has 3 strong cores and 3 slow cores. But if FX 4300 can macth i3 2C/4C, FX 6300 should match intel with 3C/3T.
Compare FX 4300 vs i3 – people say that both are 2C/4T
Problem?
Games that use 1-2-3 cores will run better on i3
While games that use 4 cores will run better on FX 4300
FX 4100 4.0Ghz is faster than i3 2*** 3.0Ghz in game that use 2 core.
so if you get 15 FPS with AMD you can say that you will get about 50% more with intel (i5) = 22.5 FPS … FPS still sucks…
But this benchmark show you taht between i5 2500 and FX 4100 at 4.0Ghz is not really
huge difference.
Your CPU wont be full load because GW2 sits on a single core as it’s single thread. Since i7s are quad core, you wouldnt even see more than 25% load from gw2.
(might be wrong, but I rarely see more than 50% while running gw2 on my i3)
I’m not an expert on the subject, but you can’t simply tell from the CPU utilization percentage what number of cores are in use. Just to get the simplest reason out of the way, not every core is being worked to 100% of its capacity: by your reckoning, one core (of four) at 100% is 25% overall; but then what if all four cores are at 25%? That would still be 25% overall.
Furthermore, Windows sees your i3 as a quad-core processor, and his i7 as eight cores due to hyperthreading.

GW2 use at least 2cores (usage on dual core was 100%)
This isn’t going to happen. For them to include mantle will be a complete rewrite of the game. They would support DX11 before they ever bring support for Mantle.
As for game optimizations over all, they include ‘some’ about every 3 months or so (each quarter).
Did you even read the article? It mentions how Mantle is basically making developers implement bare-metal performance on DirectX and OpenGL…
1. it does not making Devs do ANYTHING.
2. Anet probably wont incorporate Mantle until AFTER they upgrade to DX11+. If at all.
While Mantle increases performance across all platforms, its mainly for AMD. While DirectX is stagnant, its an API that all manufacturers have followed and optimized around. And that is why companies that have their software working on older DX9, would move to DX11 before going over to mantle, if they were ever to move to mantle that is.
AMD made other to make better API!
Now we just 1 or 2 MMOs to support low level API! Then other MMOs will hvae to support it.
As you know BF4 on is on MANTLE much smoother, less problems = MUCH better
Low Level API means for developers less problems with optimization! It means better gaming experience! better games!
- more people in match and smoother gameplay
