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?
