AmD or Intel for Gaming ?

[Viper98]

Hi guys , which one of these will do BETTE IN Heavy GAMES & handling Very Heavy Tasks ?!

Intel i5 760 (or) AMD Pehnom 6X T1055

which one is better Match with ATI 5850 or 6870 ?

Either way your CPU won't be the limiting factor for games, something like a 955 would be the best amd chip, and the best value.

Heavy tasks means a lot of different things, be more specific.

6870 is generally faster than 5850, and definitely a better value.

You will be better off spending a little less on a CPU and putting the money saved toward a more powerful GPU.

If just gaming,.. then I would get a AMD and save some $ and put it towards a better GPU or SSD

not just Gaming !I DO Lots of Heavy Gameing & in ANADTECH i see that i5 760 was higher in games from T1055 but was Little Lower in some Programs ! Finaly which one is more powerfull i5 760 or phenom T1055 !

T1055 has 6 Cores But i saw that Games Act better on Quad Cores ! Please Finaly tell me which one is MORE POWERFULL ! TNX

I am Using 1440 Rez so ! isnt 6870 or 5850 enough for me ? why i should get better VGA card ? u MEAN i should PLAN for Higher VGA card than those i mentioned up there ?

 

[bdcrlsn]

Only get a hexacore if you do thread-heavy tasks such as video encoding, otherwise stick to a quad core. As others have said, the 955 is the best balance between performance and price. I also second getting a 6850. It would be sufficent for 1440 resolution.

If you are not going to work on core heavy programs such as 3DS Max, vmware etc., a hexa core processor is going to be an inefficient investment..

 

[Viper98]

I do LOTS of Heavy Gaming i want CPU for Gaming not for Working that LOT , what now ?

 

[Viper98]

I saw that Intel is Much better in games
& AMD is better in works ! is that right ?

 

[stone-69]

Phenom II X4 955 will easily support any heavy gaming you would throw at it.
Plus it'll give you the best bang-for-the-buck.

And "Intel being much better in games"....... Nah, where did you get that from ???

 

[hell_storm2004]

A 955BE, 965BE, 970BE are all quite adept in gaming. For a CPU to be capable in gaming you only need so much. Rest all is done by the GPU. So invest in a better GPU and go the AMD way. Or wait for the Sandy Bridge and see the bechmarks and buy. That would mean another 2 months at least.

Dipankar2007ind , Whats wrong with u ? i saw a new thing that says that AMD is better in games whereas I saw that anand tech says that Intel is ... which one says the Right THING !

 

[Viper98]

Ok now what is SnapDragon ?? & can u just dont Confuse me , because i have Confused enough about Choosing Between many Brands & Models that many say YES & many Say no about them !!

 

[Emperus]

If you need a confirmed picture then let us know your budget for the components that you require.. Btw, snapdragon is the code name for a processor primarily (to the extent I know) used in certain cell phones such as HTC HD2, Google Nexus One, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and few others..

 

[hell_storm2004]

Its mostly for mobile phones made by Qualcomm. Don't know why that point was brought up in the first place?

 

[Viper98]

Ok ok lets not bring that Topic here for now , just Simply Tell me which one of THESE Cpus are Better at Games ?! we only talk about the GAMES my Friends !

AM3 - Phenom II X6 1055T
AM3 - Phenom II X4 965
Intel i5 760 2.8Ghz

Its too simple , just say which one IS ! oh but away i need that CPu to Fully match with 6870 or 5850 ! so SImply MARK the best

 

[Viper98]

I Compared them saw theire Benchmarks at ANADTECH.com , u can see for ur Self & judge !

 

[hell_storm2004]

We have seen it time again! Out of the list you mentioned, i5 760 is no doubt the best. If you are on a budget then 965BE also does the job equally well. 1055T is just a hex core processor, not worth putting your money into unless you are doing heavy threaded apps.

 

[Viper98]

I can Pay for i5 760 ( but i cant pay more ) . so T1055 is Out of the List

i5 760 is lower than 965BE ???? WHy ? i want it for Game . no HEAVy Apps !

 

[Viper98]

Ok i little worry about Future & i think if i5 760 is better then it will works longer !
will games need 6 Cores in Future or i5 760 or 965BE both will Provide me for Long TIME !!

 

[Viper98]

Dipankar2007ind u Put me in Danger , why did u Called my NAME here . wanna see me GET baned ?

Intel is always better in gaming.

Sorry, but that's a very biased statement.
For a fair comparison of CPU gaming performance you should check out :
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-cpu-overclock,review-32031.html
Here you'll see AMD listed just as often as Intel.
I agree that if you're talking absolutely max. performance regardless of the cost then Intel CPUs comes out on top.
But for most gamers "better" means "giving the best performance/price ratio".
And on that scale AMD stands strong.
As an example just see what the article says about AMD's Athlon II X3 450 :
"It is such a great gaming CPU, in fact, that it almost renders most of the CPUs in the $100 to $130 range overkill. "

See ?? anyone say other things ! how do i kick my Doubts out of my Mind when i hear many differente things

I'd go with a Core i3-530 and overclock the crap out of it. Tom's Hardware runs gaming tests constantly, and is constantly finding the graphics cards to be CPU-bottlenecked. I know this is opposite of what most of the guys in here are telling you, but this advice comes from observation.
