Having trouble finding benchmarks with people using an Ivybridge i3 (3220, for example) and a 660ti, 7950 or better at 1080p. Every time i do find something, they are using a much lower res which I understand to place more load on the cpu than the gpu. I have seen users on various forums using this type of combination, but nil feedback.
I am considering this type of system for myself, but would like to hear feedback for games like BF3, crysis, etc. Looking for: Maxed settings, 1080p, vsync off, 2x MSAA (generally about the same performance loss as 8x CSAA, though i think CSAA looks better and sometimes with less performance loss than 2x MSAA) If 8x CSAA were used, that would be magnificent. Or the ATi variant.
In addition, looking for minimum framerate as well as average. I game at 120hz, so achieving 90fps average at the above settings is ideal for me. I'll settle for ~60, though.
fyi, in games that offer 8x AA AND 8xQ AA, the plain 8x is usually CSAA whereas 8xQ would be MSAA.
Thanks in advance.
