Stock 5960x perf better than OC'd 4770k

Hi all,

So my personal rig is a 4770k water cooled and OC'd to 4.2gHz, respectable I'd say. GPU is a GTX 980 and 16GM DDR3 ram.

I also have access to a 5960x machine at work, with no OC, so stock 3.0Ghz. GPU is a GTX 970 and 16GB DDR4 ram.

When I play games like Rogue Squadron, I've noticed the 5960x has much less stuttering and generally higher FPS, when using same settings in Dolphin. 

This is odd, since the 4770k is a whole 1.2Ghz higher in clock speed than the 5960x, and Dolphin does not benefit from the 5960x's 16 cores. 

My only conclusion is that either the DDR4 ram is making a difference, and/or the 20MB L3 cache is seriously helping out in some form or another. 

Any thoughts on this?

i doubt DDR4 would make that big of a difference, my guess would be that HT is slowing down performance on the threads

Hmm, RS2 or RS3 or both? Isn't RS3 heavily cpu limited because it's a MMU game? Maybe the bigger L3 cache helps there a lot? Fiora would maybe know...

Both are water-cooled and I know for a fact there is no thermal throttling going on...

i guess the 5960x just has better single core performance
