r0llinlacs Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 That still doesn't explain why a theoretically slower CPU beat the faster CPU in the previous test you showed. To be honest, I don't think a CPU test serves much purpose when every CPU is bottlenecked by the GPU. http://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/1911-gta-v-cpu-benchmark-4790k-3570k-9590-more Read the article. It explains a lot. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/790861-new-pc-for-gta/?do=findComment&comment=1067408151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yeah, I can clearly see. It turns out they used a built-in benchmark instead of real gameplay scenario. No wonder these results don't add up.

Sigh... my ingame performance is far better than the benchmark so I have no idea what you're complaining about....

yoječ Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I'm just saying that the benchmark results are not representative of the actual gameplay. The article also offered no explanation to why FX-9590 was slower than FX-8370E in one of the tests, and why did a previous-gen Intel beat the current gen, even after turning the HT off. No thought or effort was put into making this test. Honestly... I'm done here. Using built-in benchmark, GPU-bottlenecking ALL of the tested CPUs, irrational results with no explanation... this just seems worthless. EOT for me.

sivispacem Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Crap benchmarking done without proper methodology by some third rate, low-rent reviewers with no real hardware knowledge. Actually quite funny in isolation. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/790861-new-pc-for-gta/?do=findComment&comment=1067408566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMcSame Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I know there are people that want to kill me for saying this but AMD is trash. It will never be better than intel. Their CPUs are sub par but their GPUs are ok why not get a i5 4460 and a gtx780? gigabyte mobo ripjaws ddr3 ram @1866Mhz CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117302&cm_re=i5_4460-_-19-117-302-_-Product GPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487014&cm_re=gtx_780-_-14-487-014-_-Product Mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128718&cm_re=H97M-D3H-_-13-128-718-_-Product RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231720&cm_re=ripjaws_ddr3_1866-_-20-231-720-_-Product plus the power,fans, HDD,SSD nad case of your choice. Sorry not sure on the price in pounds It's all good but I'd suspect that it would be out of his budget when you add up everything else. Personally on a tight budget I'd go with an i3 or a G3258 and save up for an i5 and likely a new mobo given that the OP may wait for a Skylake i5 given that Skylake is planned to come out in a few months so an i5 will likely follow a few months behind the initial release.

Malynel Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hey guys! I would like to play GTA V too but my current pc is too old so I'm planning to build a new one, but I'm not sure which parts should I get and my budget is low I'd like to play smoothly at 1080p on high-very high settings. My budget is around $730.. is it possible to get a decent rig for this amount of money?I know the prices are different in every country but if somebody could recommend me some cpu, gpu etc that would be very helpful. Sorry for my english :$ Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/790861-new-pc-for-gta/?do=findComment&comment=1067505578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malynel Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I can't link it since I will purchase from a local shop, and all the prices on webshops are in hungarian forint, but I can give you an example like a "GTX760 2GB DDR5 PCI-E " for $243 Somebody suggested me a GTX 960 2 gb, but I'm not sure about that...

sivispacem Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The 960 is quite a lot better. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/790861-new-pc-for-gta/?do=findComment&comment=1067506498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I wouldn't say it's that much better, but it's a better choice anyway. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/790861-new-pc-for-gta/?do=findComment&comment=1067506559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
