EmiyaShirou 10 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I am building a new desktop and now considering either to take amd cpu or intel cpu problem is now that i am not sure whether amd cpu support eroges. AMD cpu seems better since they have better clock speed and not to mention cheaper than Intel cpu. I just want to confirm that amd cpu would support eroge because i dont want to regret it later when i buy it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ultimecea 22 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 i thought the current standard I5-3500 is good enough to support most stuff?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I never heard that specific CPUs have problems with visual novels. I personally would also buy AMD...because...because it's cheaper of course!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EmiyaShirou 10 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 i am going to build a desktop that would support those high end game that is currently need a lot of power to run on but at the same time i couldnt afford to not play my eroge on the desktop since this desktop is going to be purely for entertainment and games Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EmiyaShirou 10 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 ok thanks...call me paranoid but its better for me to be safe since that intel cpu are the mainstream and i wouldnt want anything to go wrong when i buy an amd cpu Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I sadly won't be a help because I don't play computer games anymore and don't know anything about the current quality difference between AMD and Intel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EmiyaShirou 10 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Its okay...its just that i have extra cash laying around and i can buy a high end desktop to support the games. Have to say before i couldnt play any of those game cuz my laptop would have easily overheat even when playing those eushully game so i couldnt even play those high end games. But even so i am not willing to throw away eroge since they have been with me for so long Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But even so i am not willing to throw away eroge since they have been with me for so long its either your internal fan already fizz out or you actually overclocked your cpu (at more than critical level) because..my 7yo pc still can run it smoothly.. although..my graphic card already burn out~ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yoishi 10 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'm running an AMD processor and haven't had any problems with running Eroges, so yes you should be fine with one ^^b Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ret 12 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 CPUs are CPUs are CPUs. (lol) Spec lists usually just list Intel because of laziness or product placement, with an approximate freq number. If you have an AMD processor of comparable power, it shouldn't be an issue. In the end, the architecture is the same (either i686 or x86_64). Also don't trust spec lists when it comes to variable fields such as freq speed or RAM amount. When it comes to specific fields such as "GPU with pixel shader 3.0" or "Sound card with DX9 support", these are usually reliable. In the end you'll just have to try out things: VNs don't need much power unless they're 3D heavy, you'll be fine with a decent Pentium 4 processor... or even a Pentium 3 for not-so-new titles. Lastly, big titles such as the latest generic shooters and co. have all sorts of product placement such as nvidia logos and all that, but they still work with competitor hardware (if they didn't, it'd be a huge loss of money). All that "extra performance with X brand" stuff is just marketing most of the time. The beauty of the PC is that all the kinds of hardware are essentially the same thing, no matter which brand, since they have to conform to a established architecture. The mobile platforms on the other hand are a complete mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChexGuy 13 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 it's not like using an AMD processor will completely disable visual novels... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneManArmy 82 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 @thread author You heard it, just buy the cheaper one lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
