I'm curious about the performance using a 24" 120/144hz monitor, a FX 8350, and a GTX 770. Everyone compares the 3570k to the 8350. The 3570k is a clear winner in single core performance, and should perform well using a 120/144Hz monitor.AMD holds its own in multi-threaded games, but It still suffers from frame latencies. Not to confuse this with FPS, because those are 2 different things.

Anybody running a 8350 using a 120 or 144hz monitor ? I would really like some insight. Plenty of finds for Intel, but I cant find any for AMD.

I'm running Intel on a 120Hz screen, but that shouldn't make a difference - the frame latency issues is with AMD's _graphics cards_, not their processors.

Both will work, none will affect performance relative to the other. It's only a matter of single vs. multi-threaded games/ application.

Yes, you'll get better FPS with Intel, so for that reason I'd recommend an Intel Cpu. However, you shouldn't reach the 120/144 threshold with any Cpu so that becomes pretty much a moot point. The 8350 will game just fine with an nVidia 770. And again, as has been said, Amd's latency issues are with the video cards, not their Cpu's.

I would think unless the game actually runs smoothly in high frame rates your 120Hz won't matter I would focus more on response time rather than refresh rate. Example: the poor graphics in COD games use things like v-sync to lock frame rates. Latency issues are known issues in AMD GPUs not their chips also just thought I would throw that out there. The 8350 runs perfectly fine and even better in Win8 which is better optimized for the AMD 8350. If you run Win7 I would not recommend that chip here's why:

yea there are 4 videos but this might help you understand the chips better as far as gaming with it and doing other things. Since you already know the AMD chip would probably a better choice for heavy programs like CS6 for example. But the OCing for the 3570K is some of the best out there. If you have no intention on OCing I wouldn't waste my time with the Intel chip unless, you run Win7. If you run Win8 you'll on the videos that Win8 runs the AMD chip much better than Win7. I hope this helps.

I have a FX 6300 @ 4.5g and it does pretty good in gaming. Using Win7/64, with FX hot fixes applied. Just finished a Build for a friend using a 3570K and was really impressed. I'm a AMD guy, but after playing some single threaded games, I'm sold on Intel for my next gaming rig. Well, that's one point, but looking at some gaming benchmarks in single threaded games, Intel really pulls ahead in fps. This seems like this would really help with a 120Hz monitor, because you need 90 To 100 FPS to notice the difference. I wonder how many games are capped at 60 FPS. This is all new ground for me. I've been gaming on 60 Hz for years.

Thanks for the links Kasafist. I'm a You Tube junkie, but missed those comparisons. From the responses, it really depends on the game itself. It nice to know both cpu's can perform depending.
