Hi
I am a bit confused as to why my new system is worse in gaming than my old system, specs are below:
Latest System:
AMD FX-8320,
MSI 7850 1gb OC,
8gb DDR3 1333,
60gb SSD,
1tb hdd,
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 Motherboard.
Old System:
Intel i3-2100,
AMD HD 6770 1gb,
8gb DDR3 1333,
60gb SSD,
1tb hdd,
Cheap Foxconn motherboard.
I built the latest PC believing I was going to start doing more video and 3d rendering but I really haven't and the rendering times haven't been much better
i have noticed the latest system is slower to start up than the old system and when basic multi tasking it is slower to react.
But in games i have noticed generally the FPS has been lower on the new PC even though it has a more powerful CPU and GPU! although it is more stable, so frame rates don't jump up and down as much but the frame rates tend to be lower. e.g. latest system will hover around 60fps on say skyrim where as my old system would be between 30 and 90 on skyrim.
why is the performance more stable but lower?
would it be worth swapping 8320 for something like an i5 for more gaming performance?
the 8320 is better with online games, i guess this is because of the more cores, would and i5 be better though?
I'm likely to change my current case and mother board early next year for a Mini ITX Case to save space and the motherboard is far better than i really need as i don't have multiple graphic cards, so should i change the cpu for an Intel Core i5 3470?
sorry for the really long post!
Thanks
