CPU vs Graphics Card FPS

[Libertas Computers]

Hi folks,

A couple of months ago I followed a link that gave me a website that basically stacked up 60 or so graphics cards and showed their performance on various CPUs ranging from 775 dual cores to 2600Ks as well as AMDs..

I was hoping that someone here might have a link to it, because I've googled it to bits, but I can't get to that again..

What it did was it benchmarked it for gaming, but to the extent that it mainly used the graphics card.

In the end it basically showed where the CPU actually starts to bottleneck.

The only reviews or benchmarks I get they change graphics settings so that it becomes CPU intensive which is not applicable to gaming in any case.

Thanks.

Is this just out of interest, or do you really need to know specifics?

I can however tell you that at HD (1920x1080) and up, the CPU rarely matters anymore if you've got 4 cores or more

except in wow

I love my CPU

The best that I could find was the following:
CPU hierarchy: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
Graphics card hierarchy: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

In most cases, the graphics card is the biggest deciding factor for your framerate at high resolutions.

Some games (especially the massive multiplayer ones) are more demanding on the CPU too, like with BF3/WoW you'll see a big FPS increase with an i5 2500k over an AMD Athlon x4 640. In other games, like Crysis 2, the framerate would be the same between those 2 CPU's.

If you want a fairly big GPU performance chart, see the HD7970 CrossFire one from Techpowerup: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/HD_7970_CrossFire/23.html

Thanks.

As was said. If you have any half decent quad core cpu, you'll be fine.

Mainly to prove a point to a friend that he does not need a 2600K overclocked to act as a gaming PC on one 1920x1080 monitor

That was not the exact link, but that will suffice, thanks a lot, bookmarked

Jip.

Let alone an i5. But they are quite nice.

let him buy the 2600k if he wants it , 8 threads to look at in task manager!

The 2500k actually performs slightly better in games than the i7 2600k, because it doesn't have to overhead of hyperthreading - or at least that is what I'd guess, since it is 100MHz slower than the i7 2600k.

The i7 990X looks awesome in Task Manager, with 12 graphs

Interesting. Those links tell me my GPU is useless but my C2Q CPU is still shuffling just fine and it still has lots of headroom for OCing left.

hyper threading is not very good for dual setups hey. Got some bad microstutter with it enabled.

I read it causes major microstutter issues with a lot of games actually.
