For real. At least the AMD numbers are playable. Looks more like dual-cores get hammered.
They must have pipelined the logic across 3+ threads, and then blocked on communication between them. That would mostly explain why the i3 benchmarks weren't shit as well.

Oops, 30. "I play games at 30-60 fps without motion blur...."
20 fps is noticable.
I am certain about my imperception of 30 vs 60 fps. Elite: Dangerous has a configuration mechanism that allows you to limit the framerate to 30, 45, or 60 fps. I cannot distinguish between them.
And 90 years later, we are used to it. I play games at 30-60 fps without motion blur, and I never notice the framerate unless I am specifically looking for it. The game is still fun, so who cares.
No, the argument is like this:
Many of you probably haven't used a modern FX. I'm sure much of...
So this hypothetical fool spent money on a broken port and spent more money on an overpriced processor. "Fool me once" comes to mind.
Yes. I can also look up prices and calculate price/performance ratios. I know it probably sounds like witchcraft, but anyone can do it if they give it the...
The fastest i3 (4370) is 3.8 Ghz. Here is G3258 at 3.8Ghz on a B85 motherboard, with a stock cooler:
The G3258 costs $60, and the i3-4370 costs $150. If anyone really thinks Hyperthreading and an extra 1MB of cache is worth $90, well, a fool is born every day.
Intel i3 is always a bad deal. Check the price of Intel G3258.
But yes, 860K is viable. You'd need to move to a Intel CPU to make the most of a >$150 video card. But paired with a $120 video card, it offers little disadvantage compared to any Intel processor when gaming.
OBS already has NVENC support, and VCE support is available in its own branch. For streaming games, QuickSync is hardly an advantage over FX, as you are practically required to have a supported video card anyhow.
As long as FX is cheap and good enough, the Intel fan-flaming is going to fall on...
I've played both those games on an fx 6300 and a 4670k.
The framerate for tanks is substantially higher on the intel part, but I can't actually see the difference. min fps will be in the low 40s for amd, or mid-50s for intel.
Elite runs great on multicore systems. No matter what new...
Home servers cost power. A typical PC idles at ~70 watts, and typical laptop idles at maybe ~20 watts. On my last bill, I payed $0.101/kWh. So the marginal cost of operation for an old PC vs a old laptop may be:
PC cost: (0.07 kW) * (24 hr/d * 365 d/yr) * ($0.101 / kWh) = $62/yr
Laptop cost...
