It is not that Intel measures temps weird. Long standing Intel users would probably say AMD measures temps weird.Regarding CPU Temperatures - Intel measures temperatures weird. I always kept the max temp on the 9370 under 60c, and only that high when stress testing. The 6700k is safe to 81c and that is on the low end of the safety spectrum, but the chip itself is a WAY lower TDP, and definitely runs cooler in my rig, but measurable temps of the core are substantially higher. Anyone care to weigh in on why this is?

The problem is, there is no industry standard for where processor makers will put sensors, nor is there any industry standard for how those test points are even labeled. So what makes it "weird" is all the processor makers do it differently.
If they all agreed to a common terminology, it would be so much easier. But one uses CPU temp, the other uses Tcase and another uses the socket. One other uses "Core", the other "Tjunction" - it is no wonder consumers (and often the HW monitoring programs) get confused.
Even within the same brand, the makers don't put the sensors in the same place.
All that creates confusion before the computer is even turned on! After that, there is no (and can be no) standard for what is "hot". Hot for this CPU may be 65°C but that CPU may have another 10°C headroom.

I might be snotty at times but i still have love for most of you guys.IIRC, it's because of where the reading is taken. (I've never quite understood this so it's hard for me to explain) The Intel's temperature is read in the die, while AMD's is read on the package????? They way I think of it; Intel's is read closer to the source of the heat.
But haven't we seen that trend in society? How much of a snot where you when you were 20? (yes @Toothless , I'm talking about you) I know I knew everything when I was 18.
I don't think there are many who have a similar experience to discuss. IMHO, most made the switch a long time ago or are holding out for ZEN.
Secondly, people today don't seem to be able to participate in an debate. You offered up your experience, and most have responded with 1-2 sentences. Going deeper than that is foreign to most everyone, it seems. Then there's that time thing....
For a long time, my son had an i5-650 and I had an X2-4400+. I would have to go back and forth between the two, and that old 4400+ felt just as fast as his. Way back time machine: IIRC in Win3.1, there was a setting (I can't recall where) to adjust how quickly the GUI responded. Therefore, most likely, the speed that the GUI responds is not determined by the CPU (unless it's really slow/overloaded) but by settings within the OS. I would not be surprised if AMD and Intel have custom "profiles" within OS's and maybe AMD cached more of the directory tree.

finally a Phenom II 940 (AM2+). Last one I used for nearly 4 years from early 2009 (it's release) to end of 2013, I really liked that CPU and system. I changed when it became apparent that the game just couldn't cope with BF4, simply because the bandwidth and raw CPU power wasn't there.

All that's really going on with Cities is the Intel chip yielding much higher result due to much higher IPC. Which is why AMD is now seeking 40% more power per core in Zen.
Other than that the Intel sys just has way higher RAM speed, but that may only show as a slight performance increase in very CPU demanding games. However you are right to a degree that you'd need to test for it with same RAM capacity.
This. My first actual system that I used for gaming was a Phenom II x4 960T, which I could unlock to a six-core and even then overclock it beyond 4GHz, but what's the point? The TDP was nearing 140W mark, instead of the 95W for stock. And I didn't see much of a performance increase in a lot titles especially ones using DX9 and DX11 API's. The rig did well enough I thought to myself, I built it in Q2 2012 after the releases of a lot of AAA titles...
...The ONLY reason I built that Phenom II rig was for Skyrim at the time and because money was an issue...
...Sorry for the poorly written post. I'm just a newcomer here speaking my mind. It's messed up in there, especially when it's late.
I completely prefer my Intel boxes at the moment, but my last AMD PC (FX-9590) was smooth and powerful.

As I mentioned, the change has really got me thinking about playing with a pair of NV cards. I know performance is better, but is the difference in "visual quality" very dramatic? I know that is a VERY subjective question, but I would like some opinions.

Visual quality should be the same, unless you have more GPU power available and can set the graphical settings higher. With CF 290X from what you're coming, you need at least a Titan XP or 2x GTX 1080 to have a real boost and more options available. 1x GTX 1080 wouldn't do much difference if at all (at least if crossfire works in that game). The switch from a Crossfire setup to a single GPU would benefit frame time issues nonetheless, so yes, the quality would be higher, at least in games that have problems with Crossfire, but basically it would be a good move and a lot less power consumption on top (150-200W compared to 500W+).
I actually had a very hard time after switching to an NV card, the colors to my eyes are much less vibrant than AMD. Things look fine, but just not as striking. It's been several years now, and a couple of cards later, so it no longer bothers me as much. Talking to a few other users on this forum it seems to be a well known difference between the brands.

The GP100 has a lot of useless space occupied with double precision shaders and other things that are useless to gamers - basically the GP102 is a GP100 without useless parts to save space, energy and cost. What you'd want though is a GP102 fully activated (3840 shaders), a "Titan X Black", comparable to the original Titan Black. And if Vega is nice, maybe Nvidia is forced to come with a "1080 Ti" that has all shaders activated, being similar to a 780 Ti which has more shaders activated compared to the original Titan too.It's beginning to look like we will not see a consumer card base on GP100?
Wise choice.I'm waiting to see what Vega brings before I make any decisions, and I think right now the cost of GP104 and 102 based cards are too high. But the switch to Intel has made me want to try every manufacturer of hardware now, just to become familiar with the particular nuances of each.

thank you i needed thisbtw. one reason NV has worse colors compared to AMD is maybe the driver settings.
Go under NV Control Panel to Adjust Video Color Settings -> "With the Nvidia Settings" -> "Dynamic Range" -> "Full". Makes a lot of difference, because blacks aren't really black (rather grey) with "Limited" and Limited is the standard setting. Compare in a video or movie, the difference is pretty clear.
If you use HDMI you must do the same under "Change Resolution".

No kidding. This is tame compare to OCN. To save yourself, never go into a news thread on a new GPU.....talk about one hell of a craze storm between fanboys.ignore those posts...if it gets out of hand, report THOSE posts/users for moderation help.
But, honestly, this is MOST forums, including TPU, when they get big there is always that type of behavior.
You should join Overclockers.com...smaller community, just as if not more knowledgeable than here and WAY less riff raff in the forums.

I'm going to pull a pair of sticks out this evening and find out. The performance increase is absolutely crazy. Quite literally 30-40% increase in frame rate. I just really want to know what % difference is IPC , and what % of the increase is RAM.
I always thought my 9370 was more than sufficient. Truly did not realize the dramatic difference in the platforms themselves.
This may be the main reason I did not switch the last few years. The Sabertooth 990FX I had the 9370 in began it's life with a Phenom II 965, that was always "good enough", then when I had some extra coin I spent a bit for a 9370, then spent some time playing with different cooling. The price of switching the entire platform was cost prohibitive. Sad thing is that now I know what I was missing all those years.
I thought it was extremely well written.
Right after you made the switch, did you happen to notice any difference in responsiveness of the desktop/file file browser??
As I mentioned, the change has really got me thinking about playing with a pair of NV cards. I know performance is better, but is the difference in "visual quality" very dramatic? I know that is a VERY subjective question, but I would like some opinions.
