i3-4160 vs Core2 Duo E6320 - Godfall Graphics 512SP Mobile - Game Performance Benchmarks

i3-4160 + 1050 2gb and 8gb ramWill I be able to do some rendering with my setup? I'm planning to use Lumion or some other software that can do 3D visualization.

Yes, you can render with any CPU and GPU if the software supports gpu acceleration. It may take quite a long time with an i3 depending on what you want to render.

i3 4160 vs haswell pentium g3240thinking about trading up to i3 4160 from haswell pentium..will i notice a difference..the i3 4160 is 100 bucks at microcenter....thanks

i would go for i3 4160 . Faster at stock clocks . Furthermore 4 threads vs 2 threads .http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3240-vs-Intel-4160

Intel I3 4160 vs I5 4460 for the GTX960Hi, I have the GTX960 graphic card and I have a question. The 4160 costs 106€ and the 4460 costs 163€, that is a HUGE difference of prize. I saw lots of reviews and benchmarks, and I think they are very similar (sligthly better the I5 of corse), but I3 is newer and have similar power and lower consumition.The question is: with the GTX 960, it will be slowed performance due the 4160? If it is only 2 or 3 FPS, I would buy the I3.Thanks

The i3 will be fine if you don't want to spend the extra cash for the i5. Online gaming on a busy server may favor the i5 a bit with its 4 cores/4 threads over the i3 with its 2 cares/4 threads. But single player differences will be much less noticeable. Here is a comparison of the Core i3-4130 vs Core i5-4670k. While not the same CPUs in your post, it should give you an idea of the difference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXPK9doyMLg

i3 4160 for gaming 2 or 3 years?Hi, my budget is limited for a new gaming pc, is a dual core with hyperthreading i3 4160 paired with a ATI R9 280 capable to run games (720p or 900p) for 2 o 3 years until i can get an i5 or i7?Thanks and sorry for my english.

It depends on the games you will play.In general, I think the i3-4160 is a very good choice.It has a total passmark rating of 5041, and a single thread rating of 2080.Most games, particularly sims, strategy and mmo types depend on the performance of the single master thread.For that the 2080 rating is excellent.The i5-4460 mentioned has a stronger total rating of 6639, but a slightly weaker single thread rating of 1952.The only time when a i5 will be better is when a game can make use of more than 3 threads, and few do.I might suggest looking at the i3-4170 with a single thread rating of 2138. I think the cost is not much more than for a i3-4160.

i3-4160 with an GTX 1060So I'm planning to upgrade my Asus GTX 750 TI to Zotac GTX 1060 6gb, I was just wondering will it bottleneck my i3-4160? I was thinking on upgrade my GPU 1st then work my way on i5-4690 on later months. Games planning to play: AAARise of Tomb RaiderBattlefield 1OverwatchDeus EX Mankind DividedPlaying on 1366x720 resolution though, and wondering if I can set it to high to ultra settings.

A 750 ti is not too bad for 720p, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. A 1060 will certainly perform better than a 750ti at 1080p, but you don't mention upgrading your display. If you could be a bit more specific about the kind of performance you're getting now and what you hope to achieve with a 1060 then you might get more helpful answers.edit: It occurs to me that some games' 'ultra' settings might require a certain amount of vram. Your 750 ti, with 2gb, might be unable to play at ultra for that reason. If that's the case, a less expensive 4gb card, like an RX 460 or 1050ti, might allow you to play at 720p ultra and not cost as much.
