  • Primary part for high fps = graphics card.

  • I'm pretty sure I ran CounterStrike on my Windows 2K system... With a PIII... I have an i7 2600K in this system right now but FPS is almost always bottlenecked by your GPU and NOT the CPU. People use Core i5 chips with Nvidia GTX 580's and get WAYYYY better FPS than someone with an i7 and a GTX 550 Ti...

  • The CPU and GPU go hand in hand, but the CPU isn't the one responsible for your FPS. Your graphics card is the one that takes that role.

  • @SlugNation except gta4 lol

  • @SlugNation

    Wrong.

  • @TheChrisramsden

    Ya but if they used the same GPU the one with the i7 would be better.

  • @SlugNation not anymore it is. also cpu and harddrive speed.

  • "He was compensated for it with an intel core i7 Extreme Edition system"

    Nuf said

  • RELAX GUYS.

    THIS IS AN INTEL CHANNEL. OF COURSE HE HAS TO ADVERTISE THE PROCESSOR!!

  • No mention about a GFX card here, lemme just play BF3 on my i7 and use my Intel HD Graphics 3000 that comes with it on my sandy bridge processor and expect 300fps!!!

  • Playing CS...measuring that way i7 ? c'mon, i can play CS with no freezing on Core 2 Duo or any other older CPU, give a real mans game, give...CRYSIS or something, now that when it's 2012, i would say "Put BF3 to measure i7 power (i7=anti freezing, best graphic card=anti lag)"

  • @SlugNation Agreed. Just count how many cores there are in the CPU of a gaming rig. 4? 8? 16? 32? Now count how many SP there are in a modern GPU. 250? 400?

    Weird, isn't it? I'm just being as biased as the guy in the video; you don't want to be bottlenecked by either CPU or GPU. =)
