Recomended Setup for HM2 + MultiLobby

[Chifo]

Hi , if i have 8GB RAM DDR3 and a Samsung 830 128GB , what core + mother is recommended for run HM2 + Multilobby + Support Software ? Thanks , now i have a AMD x3 455 , so i think that is not useful

Intel CPU's provide better performance than AMD in our experience.

So i have to change my mother to another that support Intel to run all withour problems ? I have a mother Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3 , i cant upgrade only the CPU then ?

You will notice some improvements with Intel over AMD. I know the hand import speed is about 20% higher. IMO, most of the differences aren't going to be something you'll notice constantly. I think Intel are better than AMD, but I've long used AMD as I did not see enough differences to make me spend the extra money. That's something you'll need to decide.

Yeah but i mean , with my motherboard , what CPU i can buy to play multilobby + support software for example with HM2 . I dont need much speedy on importing hands , i want to play without lag for example , or that my pc dont freeze or something like that . U can recommended me some models of CPU with AMD and some models of Intel CPU + Intel Mothers so i can decide it ? Thank you

Do you have a socket AM3, or socket AM3+ motherboard??

With a socket AM3/AM3+ motherboard, you can only use AMD CPU's.
Fastest CPU that fits on a socket AM3+ motherboard is a FX-9590. Other 'fast' AMD CPUs are the FX-9370, FX, 8350.


If you'd want a Intel i5/i7 CPU you need a socket 1150/1155 or socket 2011 motherboard.

AM3 + , but i dont need for example NoteCaddy , i only need multilobby , HM2 and TableNinja + Skype + Chrome for example and dont want lag or freezes . So a FX 8350 is good enough ? Betther than a Phenom x4 960 for example ?

And between a FX 8350 and a I5 3570 for example , the I5 is much better or no is signifcant diferrence to buy a mother for the i5 ?

[Patvs]

i5-3570 and FX-8350 have similar performance, see: Charts, benchmarks CPU Charts 2013, [36] Total Time

[Chifo]

Okey , so in that case i prefer to go for the 8350 , if i could run all okey without problems , no ? With my mother i dont have problems for the chipset , right ( i mean if my mother is still good for that CPU ) ?

Do you experience a lot of lag issues with your current CPU?
