welcome back to tech yes City oh they have been tested the FX 8320 and the i-5 for 670 K now people have been telling me Brian there is not much a difference between these two and then some people who said Brian there's a difference between these two and then people have said look man just test them Brian can you test these two CPUs and just tell me the low down tell me the bottom line and that's exactly what I did I said fuck it you know everyone's been I've been arguing this and a lot of other channels have been arguing this debate for a long time and I figured look I'm just gonna buy them both well I already got the four six seventy guys I'm gonna buy an FX 8320 and if it's better I'm gonna use it for my main rig so I figured hey I'm gonna test it and put it up against the Intel and as you guys know I don't like Intel and I don't like AMD so whoever wins wins anyway this is this versus this video is going to be the precursor video in which I'm going to explain the testbed the test set setups used for both the rigs I'm also going to be explaining the games that will want the word tested and that will be shown in the next video and also at the end of the video I will make a quick recommendation for you guys that can't wait so I know a lot of you guys have subbed and you're waiting for this video and I'll make a quick recommendation for the guys who are waiting to buy a gaming PC so before we move into the Pacific's on the AMD and the Intel rig let's look at the parts and settings that were used in both the rigs so first off we had the graphics card which was the most important part besides the in the CPUs themselves this is the GTX 780 lining Edition now that I didn't just leave this thing at stock settings I pushed this thing to the max that it can go I put 205 on the core and I put two on to 202 on the memory and I also gave it a 49 millivolt over volt so these settings were pretty much my sweet spot this is where my card likes to run out it does chew a lot more power over a standard gtx 780 however it also gets better a lot better frame rates over a standard gtx 780 as well if one graphics card was going to push these cpus to the limit it was this graphics card now let's look at the the ram we used two four gigabyte sticks of memory and dual channel configuration the was done at the same speeds on both rigs 1866 on the memory we used nine ten nine and thirty on the timings with a command rate of two T now also for the SSD we used a 240 you buy SSD from Intel a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit a service pack one with both the hot fixes applied on the AMD now let's look at the power supply we used an antic earth wats 650 watt power supply this is a bronze rated power supply and it has an ample amount of 12 amps on the 12 volt rail now also this power supply managed to handle both these rigs absolutely fine and then some so a good power supply I think it's really indicative of a good value for money power supply - for the real world so for the monitors we used a 1080p 120 Hertz Samsung panel for testing at 1080p and then for 1440p testing we used a yeah McCarthy 27 inch now let's move on now to the AMD tests a test bench setup so for the AMD pacifically we used the FX 8320 on an msi 990 FX a GD 65 motherboard now also for the fan the cooler we used as almond CP NS 14x cooler this is a huge cooler and it managed to do an ample fine job of cooling the FX 8320 at 4.4 gig now that's exactly that we had the speed set to 4.4 gig at 1.4 3 volt and also the CPU Northbridge voltage was set to 1.25 volt and also the Northbridge voltage itself was set to 1.15 volt now for the actual hype I think the HT transport speed or the Northbridge when they 4 FS bus was left at 200 megahertz and also the HT speed was set to a multiplier of 12 which left it at 2400 megahertz now the HTT link speed was set to 2600 megahertz I found this to be the sweet spot at four point four I wanted to give the AMD rate the best 4.4 gig overclock I could give it now also the bias was updated to the last latest BIOS it was updated to twenty point two and it was the whole rig was running amp really well also one thing we also managed to do was to test for scaling as well so we up to this to four point six gigs and we managed to get the scaling so the frame rates did go up a little bit when we when we tested it at four point six gigs this means that our four point four gig overclocked was stable so we also didn't manage to test it I also managed to test it at four gigs and it was running fine as well so the overclock was solid and it was a hundred percent stable now let's move on now to the Intel rig so for the Intel we had the four 670 K on an MSI is the 87 g45 gaming motherboard now this motherboard has basically had the nici blown it blow out in a lightning storm so I was using this piece of crap here this is a Broadcom 2007 PCI Express ni C this was one of the first pieces Express and ICS to be released so instead of using my until mid-2013 my board is not that good either so anyway let's move on now to the overclock on the Intel's basically it's using an anime XT for T which is calling an ample fine as well it was tested at 4.2 gigahertz at 1.12 volts on the core now the on call ratio was set to 4100 or 4.1 gigahertz and that was at one point zero nine five volt so that was both the rigs there that's both the test set ups and let's look at the games now that we looked so let's look at the first off I tested single-player games I tested multiplayer games also did some rendering benchmarks some streaming benchmarks and I've also done some idle power consumption can sort of calculations for you guys as well let's look at the single-player game so first the single-player games that were tested with battlefield 4 this was done to the test range at 1080p so all games were tested at 1080p and 1440p next game we tested at single player was skyrim and then the next game we tested was BioShock Infinite and then after that we tested ARMA 3 and then tested Crysis 3 and then Batman Arkham Asylum all games were pretty much set to ultra and the max settings they could go now for also for the multiplayer benchmarks we tested battlefield 4 sorry the single-player benchmarks were all done 25 seconds at 3 times there was practically no variance between any of the benchmarks as it's very easy to replicate the same conditions on single-player now for multiplayer we tested 200 second benchmarks three times at both 1080p and 1440p and as you guys know this was this took a long time for me to do so battlefield 4 was tested on Lancang dam which I love this map it's one of my favorite maps and we tested this at 1080p in 1440p we also tested Star Wars The Old Republic and this was done at 1080p and 1440p we also tested Heroes of Newerth at 1080p and 1440p on the same map same character and then we tested Starcraft 2 and this was done on the same map with the same race terran with pretty much the same conditions and then lastly i tested planetside 2 due to popular demand a lot of people were demanding me to test this game so I test this basically at the base just running around shooting and it was a consistent I wanted the benchmarks to be consistent on both rigs both the time now also for rendering tests and on Z we did an unzip test and a rendering test I did a Premiere Pro 6 I rendered a video it was wasn't that big I think it was a 2 minute and 14 video two minutes 14 seconds at an ATP and it was done in the same settings on both rigs and then for the unzipping we unzipped an 8 gig file with R in WinRAR and also for the we did UniGene valley for a synthetic sort of gaming benchmark ok lastly we had streaming benchmarks and now these were done across two different games so we tested battlefield 4 and Heroes of Newerth both games were done with me playing at 1440p down scaling it through dxtory to 1080p at 30 frames per second on the lowest rendering codec in the dxtory codec as you guys know youtube also uses the why um v12 codec as well I think it is so this was done and it was scaled down to 1080p now we used fraps on top of that so we used we used story to connect to obs and then we use fraps on top of that to count the frame rates and basically this was done yet fire both on hero's new earth in battlefield 4 and why just these two games because these are the two games that I would honestly like to start streaming in the future for you guys maybe with a live giveaway or something like that so I decided to test these two games streaming wasn't that important to me either so I only tested two games here anyway let's move on now to the last part this is the recommendations now people if you are wanting to get a CPU basically I'm gonna tell you guys cut and dry okay the Intel if you are going for something like a GTX 770 overclocked or something or an online 280 X or an online 290 something that is a pretty much a high-end graphics card you will want to get the i-5 for 670 K and you will want to overclock it because some of these games that were CPU bound there were significant differences and I'm not gonna lie to you I'm not going to bullshit to you there were some significant differences and ah you'll see them in the benchmarks to come the 8320 honestly it is good value for money if you have seen I've recommended it in the past for a hundred and thirty dollars sometimes it's extraordinary value for money it comes with a really decent hint heatsink as well I think this month this CPU coupled with a 970 motherboard that's on sale as well maybe and get one of them for 50 I've seen them go for 50 or 60 dollars clock it to four gigs on the stock cooler and you'll be home in hose that's really good value for money couple it with a mid-range graphics card and you'll be getting good performance for the dollar so honestly some you know why wouldn't you recommend this on a high-end graphics card well if you're spending like five hundred bucks on a graphics card some in some games this gave a 50% increase in frames and I shit you not I was just blown away in some games no bullshit aside on ARMA 3 pacifically I'll mention ARMA 3 there was a 50% increase in frames just the CPU alone which was huge so what's an extra hundred bucks if you're gonna miss out in some games on a significant amount of frames so honestly yeah if you guys want my recommendation it's like this high-end graphics card get the Intel mid-range graphics card you can save yourself some money and get the AMD so I'm gonna recommend them both cut-and-dry that's my opinion on them both save yourself some money if you can however if you're going with the premium graphics card make sure you match it with the fork or at least the fork or is ample fine for a single and graphics card this thing will just chew at four threads if you overclock this even further than 4.6 gigs it'll make short work of any game and you'll see in the benchmarks as well this thing started to especially at 1440p this thing was not CPU bound in any game so that's a good thing about the Intel the AMD was still CPU bound at 1440p in some games which was surprising to me as well anyway that's my recommendation for you guys I'll be bringing out the benchmarks for you guys soon and you'll get to see the whole results cut and dry yeah I'll be give recommending power efficiency for you guys as well and that's another thing as well if you live in a country with high power if you're paying a lot for a kilowatt-hour save like me if you're paying like around 35 cents or 30 cents I know you guys in Australia I paying like 29 cents a kilowatt-hour then that is another factor to consider as well because it doesn't you I was actually surprised the power consumption wasn't that bad but it was still maybe an extra light bulb or so on average higher than this so I mean higher than the Intel so that's what I got down to and the conclusion anyways I hope you enjoyed this this is really cut and dry honestly I want to get through this and get on to more interesting stuff I'll get all this headphone and audiophile stuff to test down and I really want to get to the bottom of that too so anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this I will be coming back with the results really soon for you guys and as always peace out for now and I'll catch you guys soon
