Krupi Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi Chaps, Is there any reason to go for Intel over AMD? From what I have read it seems like you can get better performance in games overclocking Intel over AMD, is this the case? I am currently looking at either a R7 5X00X or an i7 10700K.

Krupi Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 I am definitely waiting for the Zen 3 reveal leaning towards a R7.

speed-of-heat Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 From what I have read it seems like you can get better performance in games overclocking Intel over AMD, is this the case? many if not most games, still functionally only really use a single core ... you can typically overclock an intel platform better than an AMD ... today that might change ... but right now highest perf for "single threaded" functions in games is better on Intel ... AMD has many other performance advantages, and it will be interesting to see if that translates to games at some point, but right now it doesn't (in the main) SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
