i3 4130 vs A10-5800k

jethrov · Nov 9, 2013

which will perform better on BF4 before and after you buy a GPU
hyperthreading 2+(2) vs 4 actual cores

5800k if you dont have a gpu already or have an AMD gpu. i3 will only perform better in more cpu based applications

OlittoTV :

why does it matter if i have an amd gpu?
is 5800k the same as athlon ii x4 750k without a build-in gpu?

OlittoTV · Nov 10, 2013

because if you have an amd gpu already, the built in graphics on the 5800k will work with the gpu giving extra performance than the gpu alone

You can add a HD 6670 to the 5800k and run dual graphics but don't expect miracles. The 5800K, by itself, can run bf4 on med settings at least(maybe high) @ 720p, the i3 cannot.

The i3 would be better though if adding a worth while video card. The i3's single thread performance is so strong, it easily equal's the A10's overall performance.

i thought 6670 is the highest card that 7660D will crossfire with. so if ever ill buy a gpu in the future the minimum ill get is 7770.
is 5800k the same as athlon ii x4 750k without a build-in gpu?

jethrov :

a 7770 is a great option for the money on whichever cpu you pick. 7770 paired with an i3 at 1080p you could play bf4 on high with about 50fps

CTurbo · Nov 10, 2013

Get a 7850! It's an exceptional value! Also, don't get ANY apu if you want a REAL graphics card.
I DO recommend the AMD Athlon x4 750k/760k if you're on a tight budget though.

But if you want a cpu for around the same price as the i3 or A10, get the FX 6300!!!!!!!!!!

CTurbo :

i like that but for the moment i can't afford a gpu. i'm thinking of relying on the build-in gpu for the moment. and the athlon 750k is not available in my country. is the 750k the same as 5800k in terms of specs just without the integ gpu?

CTurbo · Nov 10, 2013

Yeah it's close enough, but it's like 65% of the price. The A10 has pretty good integrated graphics, but you need FAST RAM to get the most out of it. I recommend 1866mhz. in dual channel.

guggi4 · Nov 10, 2013

and yes, the athlon 750k is exactly the same as the 5800k, just with disabled igpu

jethrov · Nov 10, 2013

how many gig is suggestable in this? 2x4 1866? why dual channel?

OlittoTV · Nov 10, 2013

jethrov :

8GB is recommended and dual channel will give you better performance

guggi4 · Nov 10, 2013

since the igpu doesnt have its own vram, it depends on the systemram and does better with increased speed, obviosly dual channel does.

CTurbo · Nov 10, 2013

4GB is minimum, and 8GB is recommended. RAM makes all the difference when dealing with integrated graphics. You'll see around a 10-15% increase from using 2x4GB sticks as opposed to 1x8Gb stick. You will also see around a 20-25% increase from using 1333mhz to 1866mhz.

jethrov · Nov 10, 2013

thanks guys

CTurbo · Nov 10, 2013

You can also overclock your 7660D and allocate more RAM for it to have at it's disposal.

Properly setup, it will handle 720p better than most people think. 1080p is a pipe dream though.
