Anand: PII vs. Q9550 vs. i7 crossfire, Phenom II = smoother

[.Tret]

You = trolling

Stuttering IS NOT min fps, stuttering is stuttering... you can have higher min fps and still have stutter/hitch.

We DID NOT say, "PII IS TEH BESTEST HURR DURR". I own a Q6600, E7200, and E8400, and they are sitting in my closet for a reason... I tested both intel and AMD rigs personally, and found the exact same thing that Anand did- that intel rigs stutter in certain games, while AMD rigs typically do not.


Folks seem to love to put spin on this to try and distract everyone from the real issue being discussed. Let me break this entire argument down real simple like:


Smoother supporters: I've used AMD and intel systems, and the AMD systems seem to run some games more smoothly than the intel systems do

Opponents: You are all insane morons that is impossible GRAPHS CHARTS GRAPHS CHARTS!!!! CHARTS!!!

Smoother supporters: This doesn't have to do with framerate numbers, it has to do with framerate stability...

Opponents: LIES!!! BS!!!

Anandtech: In our test we used AMD and intel systems, and the AMD systems seem to run some games more smoothly than the intel systems do.

Smoother supporters: See, we told you, intel stutters in some games.

Opponents: Oh wait, ummmm..... GRAPHS!!! CHARTS!!!

Smoother supporters: Wait, didn't we already say this doesn't have to do with who has the highest FPS? Could you please direct us to the "stuttering" chart, because we must have missed it...

You need to calm yourself down. The article mentioned nothing about frame rate stablility in regards to stuttering; Only min frame rates in that regards.

Seriously; This is just a cpu. There is no need to turn this into a religion like some OS worshipers do.

edit:Just get whatever is best for your price, don't try justification.
