BalubishIts all about speed buddy sorry. You have the prime example of it. When you come up to 4.6Ghz and above you are in a sweet spot for games and benchmarks. Games/Engines that use CPU effectivily get a massive boost in these areas. Good example is in games like Diablo, StarCraft, Dota and similar that are 100% independent on the CPU speed. Even with my 3770K and a Radeon 6700 I managed to play some games at 4K in 2012 thanks to CPU speed and helped overall gaming performance. So yeah the information and under the speed these cards produce ur CPU can become sort of a bottleneck in that area.Same reason why a 4 core CPU with higher clock can beat for example a 8 core CPU in games that has lower clock speeds. I even noticed a nice benefit going from 4.6 to 4.9GHz in games. One problem is heat output instead. If you look on CPU generations you clearly see them going up in speed even with smaller dye sizes cause speed is what makes a computer tick and not more cores overall. Or look between AMD or Nvidia. Nvidia going brute force with high speed and hit amazing numbers, AMD uses more cores on their cards instead and they also benefit differently. AMD cards are beasts in crunching calculations like render and nvidia is fast thanks to its core speed. If Fury X would have the same clock speed as GTX 1080 it would be the fastest card on the planet. Perfect modern game that show just this difference is Ashes of Singularity that depend alot on GPU core count more just in the same way a CPU can be better with more cores or higher speed. Game though are and have been past 10 years and probably next 10 aswell be dependent on 4 core and speed on those cores. When games are coded in 8 core will be a nice time aswell. Hope I explained some for you on this issue. :) Best regards Balubish
