Gaming on Quad Core -- See the Difference?

This video first demonstrates the visual quality of the AMD Phenom X4 CPU + 1 Radeon HD 4870 GPU combination. Secondly, it shows the AMD Phenom X4 CPU + 2 Radeon HD 4870's. At the end, it compares visual quality between a high-end AMD quad core based-system vs. a high-end Intel quad core based- system.




For $900 more (based on motherboard & processor costs), do you see the difference? AMD doesn't either.

Gaming with Mass Effect. AMD Phenom™ X4 9950, AMD 790GX MB, ATI Radeon™ HD 4870 vs. Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme Qx9650 Quad-Core, X48 MB, ATI Radeon™ HD 4870s.

When using AMD the earth is flat.

Look at 0:33 earth on the amd system is flat!!

@Bladeworkssystems Oh, and the $120 Phenom II x4 955 is 90% the speed of the $260 i7 950.

So...

Ignorant fanboyism much?

How come you can watch in 720p but not in 480p?

@GTAstuntking If you notice really close.... that the screen for the AMD is zoomed in closer so that is why it looks flat.. If you stop it at 0.34 you will notice that the ship to the bottom right is positioned differently that the intel.

The only problem is that they aren't using Nvidia! :P

My god the video cards do all the work!

This AMD thing is pathetic. With another comparison the Intel processor completely wins... Cos the performance of this AMD chip its like 50% of the intel one.

Also WTF Flat earth!?!

@MrBrunointhehouse Wel i sold my nvidea card after it's 3e RMA. And buy an AMD/ATI radeon card. And the frist thing i saw it runs more cooler an a lot less sound from the fan. Sorry but nvidea is just riping of its customers. One nice example is the "Bug" how nvidea called in one of there drivers(Vesrsion 196.75) that turned of the fan's on some video card models. Normally the fan is controlled by the card it's bios ! This was the death of many GTX 8800 cards.

@SCBbestof I have an Phenom II 945 and an ATI 6850.

I don't like to pay too many for my hardware too.

And i love the OC capabilities of the Phenom processor mine can do 3,6 GHZ whit out rising the voltage and can easy hit above 4 ghz whit only a small amount more voltage.

My experience is that when it comes to gaming the differences are small between amd and intel stuff like winrar are faster on the intel i7. But when it comes to price vs performance AMD win's by far.

@GTAstuntking you know that this clip was made in 2008 right ? and that was a Phenom I processor ... compare a Phenom II X4 955 + ATI HD 6990 with Intel Core i7 (not the Extreme version!) + Nvidia GTX 560 .... there is visualy no difference , only in benchmarks the intel system is faster because of the i7 (ATI > Nvidia) ....

so why should I pay lots of money for a system like that ?

or you can take a Black Edition Phenom II and OC it , AMD overclock much better than Intel does

@vistakid10 doesnt amtter they did comparison by closest PRICE

[GamersCanGame]

what iis this amd you speak of i dont beleive in this name after FX....my core 2 duo butfucks an anthlon x2 64
