Battlefield 3 Final Release GPU/CPU Benchmarks

And even if we ignore the GPU bottleneck thing it is no evidence for what I asked since core 2 quad isnt there.

From that chart it seems phenom II >> Nehalem >> Sandy bridge so you cant quite know where core 2 quad would have fallen.

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"][QUOTE="Gambler_3"]And your evidence?

Gambler_3

Thanks from the PS3/XBox 360 devs, BF3 PC is a heavy threaded application.

On SSE side, there are weaknesses with AMD's K10.x architecture e.g. FMISC unit is still 64bits wide. IF BF3 avoids FMISC's instructions, K10's SSE128** should rival Intel's SSE128**.

**Both AMD and Intel has 128bits wide FADD and FMUL hardware.

And that chart misses one critical information and that is minimum FPS, a chart where the averages are so close no "verdict" can be given if we dont have the minimum FPS.

Depends on workload mix i.e. if most gaming benchmark mix are BF3 like workloads then "Everyone knows the new intel CPUs are faster" would not be true. Most PC games are DX9 based game anyway i.e. single thread GPU command generation limitation. This limitation is still with DX10.

Xbox 360 doesn't have this PC DX9/DX10 limitation i.e. I don't have any illusions that PC DX10 are superior at everyway compared to the Xbox 360. On this PC DX9/DX10 limitation, the PC DX9/DX10 is a dinosaur that belongs to single thread DOS era. It's a good thing DX11 has removed this embarrassment.

Atm, it's a single game that uses Frostbite 2.0 engine. Let's see with another Frostbite 2.0 engine based game e.g. "Need For Speed The Run".

PS; I own Intel Core i7-2600 based gaming PC and I don't care if AMD PII beats it.

Did you seriously just brought that native quad core thing? What is this 2007?

I can bet that intel would be beating AMD at low settings at VGA resolution in BF3. If I am wrong then I'll keep an embarrassing sig of ownage for a month.

[QUOTE="Gambler_3"]

[QUOTE="C_Rule"] Yeah, you may want to think twice about keeping your C2D, after playing Caspian Border with 64 players.

My C2Q doesn't seem to be enough for this game. I really want to upgrade to something like a 2500K and 6950 CF, but I think I'll wait till early next year, when 7xxx and 6xx should be out.

I always get the notification that the "reporting user got points" so it isnt a mod doing that.

You get points for reporting people?

And I just lost points for that response to your "4x3 = 12 Ghz" post and apparantly I was "flaming". :?

Boom

Source ? clock rate ? Memory ? Video card ? cause here it it seem a bit contradiction with what you show unless high / ultra play a major role in performance lol but yeah iv heard the FX-8150 was badass cpu for this game but poorly optimized for all other AAA title


im infact surpie a core i3 2150 being on the top of the list at high lol but at ultra on ur other benchmark it the i7 870 LGA 1156 ? i wonder if they would perform differently if both overclocked or it is just that the engine was heavily optimize for a cpu which was considred less fast per clock

Because doesn't LGA 1155 in basically all other benchmark around : Starcraft 2 / Metro 2033 / CIV 5 / Mafia II / Far cry 2 : It seem they just optimized the game for gpu like Crysis 1 wasd one :P but well optimized as it run seem ultra on a single HD6870 now as low as 149.99$ AFTER IR & MIR

but im like if it mean a 130-150$ CPU often found cheaper With Selected H61/P67 combo > 274.99$ CPU that poor for AMD :( they need there B3 Stepping which in theory fix there awful performances in games

You dont need anything more than a really fast dual core for this game as is quite evident by the performance of the i3 CPU's. This goes to show how far away we are from needing octa core CPU's for gaming.

So dice just lied to us saying only 10% of people playing this game will be able to max it. I have all maxed, 1680x1050, x4MSAA, vsync and framerate never goes under 53 (in multiplayer).silversix_

That's not too far off, if you go by the hardware people have in the steam hardware survey.

My buddy has a 6950 with a mix of Ultra and High settings at 1080p and he said he gets 60 FPS the whole time

it is Reveal Dice engine 2.0 even when it come to overlcocked cpu the new engine hardly make the benefit of it it all about gpu power and the memory used 8GB 1333mhz C9 or 4GB 2133mhz C11 but then 1-2FPS for cpu not a biggie

IE if i recall Fallout new vegas is also one of those scenario where all is ressource are relay mostly the gpu power they don't fusion with cpu well because it was tested with 12 processor and they basically all ad 59-61fps from the Like the Athelon II X4 to the Phenom II X6 1100T to the I5 2500K

but it wasn't on anadtech who tested it at 1080P.. fi was to find the benchmark... might find it one day anyway
it depend of game : Starcraft 2 use lot of cpu power but hate amd :)

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

but i think im done talking about BF3 Cpu performances pretty much all place i go it the same result as the benchmark picture above

See what happened here now did you all?? bu bu teh GPU bottleneck must have teh SAME FPS teh phenom II beats intel. lol total noobs dont know what other variables are involved in benchmarks, well no I dont think you are all noobs but were trolling about the phenom II beating the sandy bridge because ya all got the chance to for a change.

Gambler_3

you poor poor thing....1-2 fps....get real

wis3boi

I am still saying that 1-2FPS doesnt matter but I was just pointing it out to those who think that it does. I said it that on another day phenom could be 1-2 FPS behind due to other variables as there is a GPU bottleneck but none heard me then as "a GPU bottleneck must result in the EXACT same results". :lol:

1-2 fps does matter when the processor you are comparing it to costs significantly less.

So then CPU doesn't matter at all, so may as well get the 100 dollar cpu.

[QUOTE="GummiRaccoon"]

[QUOTE="Gambler_3"]But it wasnt the CPU which was the reason for that difference, that was the whole point and now I have evidence for it. This game remains bottlenecked by other variables at the highest settings unless we get into the low end dual core territory.

I believe you could take gambler's suggestion and overclock it. the 955s get to 4GHz pretty easily.
