Rebirth

Hmm first tests of the Haswells (4770k) don't seem that encouraging right? The temperatures are far worse compared to the Ivys :( Maybe go for a 3770k based rig? Too early to judge?

Thanks for the informative reply. So let's say I'm goin for an intel CPU. Considering I don't have a desktop at the moment, should I wait for a Haswell platform (is it safe, cause of bugs and other issues, to do this during mid June = quite early?) or get the 3770k?

Indeed and that was actually my initial question. Is the difference in graphics/fps/smoothness that great, that it worths the extra money? Secondarily, now we have the Haswells in the game and also Steamrollers in the near (?) future. It becomes more and more confusing :wacko:

Thats good news I know this fps hunt can get quite silly but do you know your avg?

I guess not many people tried the latest FX series, or the just avoid them. So you suggest 3570k compared to 3770k? Most people say haswell is the solution but I don't know how safe it is to buy one straight away. The problem is I don't have a desktop at all at the moment :S

@ Thank you Jim. Probably I'll get some answers here. Have a nice day - or a good night

Hello everyone. I'm trying to build a new rig for FSX and I could use your help. Didn't wanna open a new topic, so I'll "storm" you with my questions here First of all, this is the max you can get from an FX 8350? Or is it due to GPU? I know that according to benchmarks Ivys/SBs outperform AMD's FX series, but still there aren't many AMD system owners that share their experience. Is Intel the only way? Thanks
