Yeah, I updated my system specs with my 2 systems as they are.

well then it´s a good result.....
as far i can tell

[theoneandonlymrk]

id appreciate you having a look at benching crysis 2 Erocker, and obv Dirt 3 both are new ish and reasonablely power hungry

Dirt 3 Will do! Don't ask about anything Crysis again. I refuse that game or any of its sequels.

^^ why?

I'm really not going to explain myself here. Just know it's due to a good reason.

Are you saying that you don't care if it can run Crysis?

Seriously though, can you try disabling the second core in each module? I have heard that it does make a difference, but I would like you to confirm it.

That's okay, I was just interested in the results, that's all.

Did you get your chip in time to bench BF3 beta?

I don't plan on it. I bought an 8 core, it's going to be used as an 8 core.

Nope.

I understand your reasoning, but you might be able to get more performance for what you paid.

I don't care. This isn't just my clubhouse, perhaps others with this chip will do this. Not me.

Yeah this thing may end up being what pushes me into WC.

Can u try Dirt 3 with multi GPU (your HD6950 in CFX)???
I'm havin lots of troubles with this tittle in CFX but not with one card(CPU dependent..)
Next I would say Crysis but I uninstalled it myself the moment I heard it's going to consoles

ok np id love to see how dirt 3 goes anyways, id imagine their be a few reasons(as have i) for your crysis 2 remarks, how about either dues ex or RAGE im obv trying to think of games i have but also that use dx11 , multi core etc

I got 77.3 with 2500k stock on Mafia II but at 1680x1050. At 4.2GHz one frame more...
Try Dawn of War II ingame bench if you have it, GTA4 ingame bench, Total War Shogun 2, Far Cry 2 maybe. Crysis 1 is useless for CPU testing, it's all GPU there.

I haven't seen these FX chips benched while running folding@home and I wouldn't be surprised if the performance is more than reasonable on the multi-threaded client, so you might want to try this.

Also, here's a nice heavy stress test to check for stability; just be ready with top-notch cooling or to quit the program if it overheats!

Ha! The bot came in 1st!

GTA IV, Far Cry 2 and Batman AA are downloading.

I will keep the OP updated.

I request that you try some benchmarks with all of the 'B cores' disabled as to run at 4m/4c and see if it makes a difference.

Like I said before, maybe later. I'm going to be doing a lot of benches in this current cofiguration and since I'm generally strapped for time, it will take a while.

Indeed. I will do this once the gaming benches are finished.

hi erocker,

if you have some time, pls run heaven benchmark 2.5

thx

Yes, this ^
And I just ran heaven for a comparison to my 1090T @4ghz and CFX 6870s if he gets the chance to bench.

[Crap Daddy]

I did a quick bench on Street Fighter IV, all max settings, 2500K at 4.2, same res 1680x1050.

219.16 FPS

[pantherx12]

Who else has a BD chip or has one coming?

Should get mine by start of next week with luck and anything that doesn't involve over voltage I'd be willing to mess around with ( running it as single/dual/tri/quad/hecta etc)
