I don't want to be that doom and gloom guy, but the writing is on the wall for serous gaming and low core/thread count. My FPS in BF4 multiplayer went from 25-35fps to 60fps locked with VSync going from a Q8200 to the FX-8350. On the Q8200 the utilization was 100% and still choppy. Now my video card is 100% utilized.
May it also be noted that you need more than 1GB VRAM for 2k15 at high settings, even at 1680x1050. Likely a better GPU than my 6870 as well. At medium textures I'm at 990MB dedicated ram and 300mb dynamic utilization, 60 fps though. I didn't expect this with a next gen game. On high textures, vram usage explodes and FPS drops to 20-35.
