Gaming on Intel or AMD...The truth

[The Joker]

Ok so as you guys know I am into the hardware scene. Love everything tech related
But for a few years now I've been getting pissed off with people claiming they can tell the difference between Intel and AMD while gaming and that Intel is def better. Now I am sorry but I own a i7 3930K, i7 3770K and 2x AMD FX8350 machines. I game on all of them and I usually share cards between them (7970 Matrix, 680, Titan, 7870 cf, 660ti sli). I can not tell the difference between them. They only time I see a difference is when I benchmark or while running fraps.

The machines will be running the exact same hardware, only the board and cpu will differ.
Games will be set up to run the exact same settings.

So my plan is to do a blind game play test on some mates and possibly some of you guys if your keen

The idea is to let my mates play on each machine, machines will be hidden and they won't be able to see system specs.
After letting them play on the 4 machines they then have to tell me which machine they were playing on (Intel or Amd). I want a fairly large group, ranging from seasoned hardware nuts like myself to people that really don't care what they play on.

What do you guys think?

Good experiment to prove a point. I'm like you, love tech and building and I love AMD and Intel...for different things. AMD is just the best for gaming because you won't see a difference in gaming but only on gaming. Thats why I choose Intel I think i'm gonna get a 4770K.

That was confusing even for me

This sounds like an awesome little experiment

Personally, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between anything, but I look forward to your findings.

You are more than welcome to join in bud

Maybe. Where is my monitor by the way?

I would love to but you are not in Cape Town esp if we can take a mach home if we guess correctly

Please run the experiment on 3840x2160 res screens.
I'll take part if ^ is true!

At CRT. Meh will call them now.

As far as resolution goes, I'll do the test @ 1920x1080 and 2560x1440

Make sure to use a CPU heavy game, my recommendation is PlanetSide 2 since I found the game to give the biggest discrepancies between Intel and AMD.
