Does one work with games better than the other?

Depends which graphics card you have

There is no question that if you want the best visual gaming experience from your high end video card you need the fastest CPU you can get your hands on to experience the high level of gameplay these video cards are capable of producing. While it has become evident over the past couple of years that video chipset technology is extremely important in producing a great gaming environment, we can't forget about the CPUs at the heart of our machines. Quite simply put, upgrading to some of today's CPU technology can directly benefit your gaming experience.

One graphics card will not interact with a CPU in any different way from any other GPU, so answering the question 'which CPU works better with games', with

is not answering the question at all.

Facts are that certain CPUs are better for gaming applications that others.
Not all game play performance is down to the GPU, it is also heavily dependant on what CPU you have and also what memory you have.
The list can go on, about what ... other parts you have, but you see the picture.

Putting an 8800GTX in a crap spec system is not going to give you the ultimate gaming platform.

As this whole debate is about the E6300 and the 4200X2 then we should get the facts correct.
The E6300 is 1.86GHZ
The 4200x2 is 2.2GHZ

Now where I come from that makes the 4200X2 faster than the E6300.

How well it performs is another matter.
But that comes down to architecture and efficiency not speed.

People need to make statements that are accurate and informative, not just chuck in comments that add nothing to the thread.
Anyone logging onto AD to see what is written, should be able to get enough information that is clearly laid out to help them.
A lot of users, come here for reliable advise not just banter.



I'll mention no names on the following point (Now or later):

But people should not alter their thread replies in such a way, as to change what they said totally if they have been found wanting in the knowledge department, they should be ?man or women? enough to admit if they make mistakes.
