CPU Frequency vs. FPS (Part 2 of 3)

2016-04-18
welcome to part 2 of our CPU frequency verse FPS series if you miss part 1 of our series and go ahead click the card above me and hop it over to that video but in this particular part I plan on pairing a G 4400 Pentium skylake CPU with a gtx 970 overclocking it to 4.6 gigahertz running all the benchmarks that i ran in the first segment of this series and then doing this all over again with the cpu clocked at only 3.6 gears so there's that 1 gigahertz frequency as well and both of our CPUs thus far have been clocked the same in both scenarios so 4.6 for both and then 3.6 for both wow I'm getting a bunch of messages I really should have buted my phone sorry about that so let's go ahead and see what the results were for the second round of tests featuring the Pentium G 4400 so a couple things I want to point out from the results that we have thus far our penny of G 4400 did very well considering its limitations of only being a 2 core 2 thread CPU it kept up with our 66 in Turkey very well especially in games like Grand Theft Auto 5 where I would have expected the Pentium to fall behind quite a bit being that Grand Theft Auto 5 is a very CPU intensive game while our minimums and maximums were a bit lower our average overall was actually pretty good for a Pentium keep in mind that this CPU is $65 so we're comparing a $65 processor with a $240 processor at least that's what they cost here in the States so the Pentium is doing very well keeping up as much as it is with the 6600 K very surprising apart from that there were definitely some games in which the Pentium G 4400 did much better when it was overclocked to 4.6 gigahertz versus 3.6 keywords games that come to mind are City skylines dying light and left 4 dead 2 now left 4 dead 2 I regarded as a very CPU intensive game for the longest time but after seeing these results I think I've been convinced otherwise so if you're looking to purchase a relatively cheap CPU something like an Athlon 860 K 10 EMG 32:58 or even G 4400 there's nothing wrong with purchasing any of those CPUs you will receive massive gains when it comes to gaming if you decide to overclock them and that's what I want you to take away from part 2 of this series in part 3 I'm going to throw a gtx 980 in with my 6600 k rig and we're gonna see if increase in our cpu frequency when our GPU is not a bottleneck will give us any substantial increase there so we've seen it with a 970 and you guys are telling me well there's a little bit of a bottleneck there maybe so maybe not we're gonna see if there definitely is a bottleneck when we throw a 980 in there if our CPU is holding us back then that frequency increase should yield a larger margin right right we're gonna find out in part 3 if it's not in the car but me stay tuned for it it's coming very soon I want to hear from you as usual your opinions are very very important to me even if we don't agree at all don't be shy just leave a comment in the comment section below be sure to give this video a thumbs up you think it deserves one give it a thumbs down if you think it doesn't any click that subscribe button if you're ready for more technology related videos here in the studio this is science studio thanks for learning with us
