i5 i7 vs. AMD all
I'm having a weird issue. Just recently I switched from an msi 870A motherboard ($100) with an AMD Athlon II x4 processor 2.9ghz ($100)
to
An ASUS p8Z68 motherboard ($200) with an Intel i5 2500k processor 3.3ghz ($220)
Now here is my problem...
When I had the original processor and motherboard I was able to run icenhancer 1.35final v. 1.0.4.0 with
"Very High" Iceconfig.ini
"DOF for pictures" the bokeh choice
and I got 30fps on average
;D
Now...
With my NEWIntel i5 2500k and Asus p8 mobo, I get no stutter, I can run GTA4 at max. Then I turn on iCEnhancer 1.35 final (same settings as before), and no matter what I put the graphics quality on, i get the same amount of stutter, the controls are late, and it runs very slowly, i get 15fps max and it drops to 7fps a lot.
How in the world does that make sense?
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Please. I need to understand
All this information already includes updated drivers of everything.
**EDIT**
Concern is pretty much why did I go from lower end hardware to higher end and it barely can run, but every other game I have I can run at max settings rather than before on my old hardware, those games barely ran at max.
Point is...
Why does it lag on intel compared to AMD processor and mobo are lower end and got 30fps stable
Update++
Just yesterday I returned my i5 and my p67 motherboard to frys, was about to get the i7 but they didnt have it, so i went to microcenter and looked how much the i7 was
It was $40 less than Fry's and im thinking imdumb yeah
So i grabbed that and a sabertooth P67 motherboard and went to the counter and the dude said "you know with this motherboard and processor you save 50 dollars?" Im thinking imdumb yeah man, saving $90 in total so I got an h100 cpu cooler also.
Went home, friend came over, i gave him my old amd components, he gave me his corsair 800D case (which is a beast) and i was thinking you know what i think ill start from scratch
Put the bitch together (think ill return the sabertooth though) cause it has to have some stupid fan on a black board on top of the motherboard as a surge protector, didnt have the fan so i took the surge protector off, but now my temps with the h100 are 33 avg when i should be getting 22c idle at 5.1ghz on the 2600k with the p8 pro (which ill be getting again)
Well formatted hardrive, clean install of everything. EVEN...
GRAND THEFT AUTO 4
So I turn it all on get gta4 going with same settings as always, same ram, gfx card, clean install of windows and guess what
[glow=red,2,300]10FPS[/glow]
Ive never been so mad in my entire life, is it just that amd 5770 and intel processors dont work well together? I dont understand it imdumb THIS ilovepoop
I will not run gamebooster, or fps fixes because I want to fix the issue of why does amd run better than intel, makes no
imdumbing
sense
So
pissed
PLEASE someone help, I love how it has almost 400 views and only 22 replies, what a great community. Loving it.
UPDATE
Checked CCC for 5770. MY GPU clock says 157mhz even though it should be at 800mhz, my god thats prolly why i get terrible frames on icenhancer
