More and more games are saying now Recommended is an i7 also i find it funny that the Recommended OS is 7 & 8.1 no Windows 10 yet
Yeah I've noticed that too, do you think its more to do with the generally higher stock clock of the i7's or the extra Threads?
Its weird seeing the 780 compared to the 280. Its often the other way around, something like a 670 compared to a 290..
If games are starting to utilise hyperthreading, then that's news to me![]()
Shouldn't they have compared the 780 to the 290
I'm sure i have seen other games that are coming out that also say recommended CPU is a i7
Fallout 4 has i7 as recommended, also Battlefront I believe?
Yeah pretty much. I guess this means the game currently favours AMD cards a bit more if it isn't a typo.Shouldn't they have compared the 780 to the 290
The 3770k has been on recommended spec lists for a while now. Not sure why as quite a few games that recommend them don't even use hyperthreading so an i5 is just as good.I'm sure i have seen other games that are coming out that also say recommended CPU is a i7

VRAM, those ate the first cards from both NV and AMD to have 3GB of VRAM, except for the special 2xRAM cards from previous generations.
