AMD Build?

[SvAF/F16_Dark_P]

Hi guys, i have searched but i cant find any benchmarks for BOS with a AMD CPU build. 

Anyone here that knows how well the game will run with that?, most of you guys run Intel what i have gathered, but i feel the price is just to high for them for the slight performance you get in other games.

Here is the build i am thinking of getting,  what do you think about it?

 

Sorry for the Swedish site, but it will cost about 1230:- USD

If I understand correctly you need a CPU with good single core performance with BoS. It supports multiple cores but the speed of each one is important. This shows the type of performance you're looking for.

I think the i5 4460 (in that site, for similar price) is better option, has less cores (4), but better performance per core than Fx-8350, this one is good for optimized games, like BF4.

 

Other thing, Fx-8350 is at least 2 years more old (released in 2012).

 

Problem with reviews benchmark is the games used say little about flight simulators:

The ideal should be create a "black death" track (a la il-2'46) and people make BoS benchmark in different systems.

That build is pretty much what I have. I don't have fps numbers, but I get reasonable performance with 2560x1440 display on high with no AA. Still, you would most likely be better of with i5 4460 as Sokol suggested.

 

(I play mostly MP and quick missions)

I'm running an i7-3770K at stock speed, without the over clocking, at 3.5ghz. It isn't capable of running the larger Vetranen campaign missions and even 6 plane QM slow it down bad. MP works fine though. I am in need of replacing it soon.

For future knowledge, a 4 year old i5 will still have better performance for games than AMD's current best.

[Dakpilot]

The cost savings on a new all AMD build are just not worth the performance disadvantage, if used with flight sims and particularly BoS/BoM, a 4ghz AMD is no comparison to a 4ghz Intel CPU when considering the single core speed/performance

 

In mainstream gaming AMD pricing performance IS excellent and to be recommended, but in CPU intensive simulation unfortunately it is Intel all the way, and until AMD/Radeon change their driver support for DX9 (unlikely) Nvidia is also probably the better choice.

 

For price/performance a second hand half decent Intel 2500/2600K upwards CPU/MB combo would be better than any new AMD, (for BoS) then use the saving to put into higher spec GPU/RAM/SSD/Cooling, etc.

^ What Dak said, if your a flight simmer, go intel.  In fact just look at his sig and copy that build.

Hey!

 

I tryed out a AMD FX 6300 3,5Ghz six core CPU. 

 

But I would not recommend it. I will save up money getting a Intel now propably. It seems like Flight Sims better work with Intel i5 or i7.

 

Also got a thread here, were I described my problem with low FPS, because my CPU just cannot handle it. 

IL2 uses only up to two cores, so it is necessary that you single speed core is good.

 

I built up a computer for my brother. He also has the GTX 970 and I got him the Intel® Core™ i5-4690K. 

Tried out how IL2 runs on this system and got stable 60FPS and 30FPS in parking position.

 

When your at your pricelimit already, consider getting the GTX960 instead. It is really good (i have it) and let you run all actual games on high-ultra settings. The best graphic card for your money you can get, at the moment. Look up its benchmarks.

And then get a Intel for the money you saved here instead.

Hello Gents,

Just wanted to add my 2 cents.  I have an AMD 965 Phenom II x4 and she is overclocked to 3.95 and runs BOS with Ultra settings at 3300x1920 resolution.  My fps runs 50-60 fps up high and 40-50 fps down low.  I understand for some that is too low FPS but for me it is perfect.  Not trying to say AMD is anywhere near as good as Intel for this game.  Just letting thread starter know there are plenty of good cheap AMD CPUs that will run this game great.  Also I do have 2 780 Ti in SLI.  I believe this game is a bit more graphics card dependent than many say.  Because it seems I am getting really good performance compared to many other users running much better CPUs than I use.

I changed my cpu from AMD to Intel now, and my frame rates more or less doubled. As I said in my earlier post, I did get playable fps with FX-8350, but not smooth like this. I did some studying about cpu performance and it seems that AMD single thread speed of AMD cpu's have been pretty much the same for years now. Ofc what is playable is pretty much subjective, for some it's solid 60 or more and for some it's over 20.

I'm stuck with an AMD FX 8350 and it .. well works.. ok for the money.. but I really really regret not checking out that AMD currently are out of the CPU race..
I've been an AMD CPU fan (pun not intended) for a long time.. but will never step on their sinking ship again. If they don't totally baffle me in the coming future

Absolutely right, my pc use AMD Fx 8350  x8Phisical Cores.

 

and 3D programs and games that are optimized goes much better than any Intel, but specifically simulators .. il -2 BoS not going well with AMD ..

 

 

i am flying all Flight Simulators, on a punctuation of 10:

-DCS World and all of airplanes - 8.5

-FSX - 5

-RoF - 9

-Il-2 BoS - 6

-il-2 1946 and MODS ACT - 10

-Falcon BMS - 10

-il-2 CoD - 7

 

My pc is: 

FX 8350 BlackEdition

16Gb gSKILL RIPJAWS 

GTX 680 DircCU II Top

2x 120Gb SSD

Corsair 1200W Modular

 

AMD is good, It is good, but some games are not good to work with them.

[II./JG53Lutzow_z06z33]

All I'm gonna say about AMD is that when I switched from a FX-8350 @4.5ghz to a I7-4790k@4.5ghz. I gained about 20 FPS in FSX (very CPU intensive) I reused all the other parts from my old system besides the mobo of course. So the switching of the CPU to Intel was a huge increase in performance.

hi I have used amd cpu  for all my builds the biggest problem you have is heat you have to bye a good fan or water cool, amd fans our just no good when you our in  hi settings  gameing all so I found that flash hard drives our just to much ,if you use pc a lot and need lots of space, if you like me forget to move apps and downloads ext use a nice big hard drive
