Tool to Predict Performance?

[majestic1805]

Is there a tool that let's you pick your components (mobo, cpu, RAM, etc) and get a computed tally as what to expect your overall performance for a specific game or application would be?

You can benchmark CPU's and GPU's on this website.

What kind of computer are you building?

To be honest I've got a couple builds in mind. I could with either a Piledriver 8350 with a Radeon 7950 machine or an I5-3570 with the same GPU. The RAM and motherboard changes as well to fit the CPU. I'm just curious if there's anything to cross-examine benchmarks for motherboards, CPUs, RAM and video cards to spit out an aggregate result given a certain configuration with a given benchmark like BF 3 or 3DMark. That link is a step in the right direction, though, thank you.

The new Piledriver is pretty awesome, and for gaming it would be a fine choice.

If the system is strictly for gaming Piledriver still falls short of the I5.

This site does pretty much what you're asking for.

I agree. If you want an AMD, that's the thing to go for.

And its cheaper.

Actually the Piledriver outperforms or matches the I5 and comes pretty close to the I7 in a series of benchmarks. Not all, sure, but it's a very good chip overall.

Not sure where you see it outperforming or matching the i5 in GAMES... in any CPU intense game its performing 15-30% worse than the i5. Until you get to really high resolutions where the graphic cards starts to become the bottleneck and not the CPU. It is still a decent CPU for the price, but as I said before if you are only focused on games the i5 is still a better performer.
