Krupi Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Hi Chaps, Is there any reason to go for Intel over AMD? From what I have read it seems like you can get better performance in games overclocking Intel over AMD, is this the case? I am currently looking at either a R7 5X00X or an i7 10700K.

AMD has many other performance advantages, and it will be interesting to see if that translates to games at some point, but right now it doesn't (in the main) SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
