Rescently (half an year ago) i bought an AMD FX-8350
According to this benchmarker http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ it is way ahead many of the intel processors that are a lot more expencive than it.
One of the reasons of lower price is that it does not have integrated Gpu in it.
My questions are several:
1. Am i missing something from not having integrated gpu inside my processor given that i am using a dedicated video card?
2. Is the price/performance ratio according to the site correct vs intel brands?
3. if 2 is correct why is everyone preaching towards buying intel processors when the difference of price/performance is so huge?
Last question is wow related and based on my upgrade since i couldn't afford everything i used the GPU i had from before GTX 650. After the tests offered from the above site of the CPU on the new MB + ram (2x4gb 2400 mhz) it gave me much higher ratings than the site puts for this processor. Site shows 8993 i got between 9500 and 10k based on 4 Ghz and turbo modes at 4.2 and 4.4 ghz.
I know that the game from MoP to WoD changed a few things about how the engine works. Blizz stated that they are puting more load on the GPU than before and lowering the % of Job for the CPU. Alas i my knowledge is limited to internet researches and i am not sure how much this is true and how it affects the game in reality.
4. Will i be getting a lot higher Wow performance if i ugprade the Video card asap. Or is the game still heavy CPU dependant and the GPU upgrade will not boost much. Atm i have 100~ fps with my video settings prior to 30 man hc pulls and even thou i am sure it drops during pulls i have no fps isues during fights. But i do have settings far from maxed.
