And then Vista gets butthurt:nutkick::cry:

We should sell old rigs in new cases with a lot of big numbers on them. This is the EXT9980S-hyper core

The enthusiast is who the responsible novice calls to decide what to buy. And forums such as this is how we hammer out the facts so make your post count! And it's Okay to get a little butthurt as long as you learn something.

Geez Man, Piledriver improvments, quad channel memory on Vishera so how will it stack up to the 3820??? You would be the best man to elaborate.... Think Vishera will have what it takes to compete with the base 2011 chip? I would go 2011 over Ivy for sure, if i needed the power, but even the...

Yeah the 3820 rocks!!!

I am with you 110%!!!:toast: Bulldozer FX chips have huge overclock potential. I gained 40% on passmark with fx-6100 @4.7ghz stable on cafa70. But I overclock everything that I can. The less cores, the higher clocks people are getting. The FX-4100 hits 5ghz on $30 coolers regularly. Intel...

WOW, 17% core improvement on super pi doesn't even consider the new instruction sets and the overclock-ability. Since it uses less power these chips, should hit 5 ghz on a good air cooler and mobo. Did your Dog die or something? If so, I'm sorry, don't take it out on AMD Clock speed is...

It just occurred to me, the trinity super pi results...a Piledriver core producing a 17% single core improvement. Lets see 26.0s down to 23.8 so 13.0 would be 100% improvement, So 100 div 13 is 7.69 * 2.2 =17% there is you per core PD improvement for trinity on super pi. I hate math.....

Why not upgrade to a Thuban? By the time you sell the 925 and find a good deal it would only cost you $50 -75. Then you could crossfire another 6850 and run eyefinity on max settings for dx11 games! As far as PD wouldn't you consider the 5800k improvements a good example of what Vishera...

From Vishera, I'm expecting 15-20% per thread increase from both IPC and clock increases. Then I'm expecting the new instruction sets to add to that for the apps that can utilize them. I'm also expecting a TDP reduction. Price wise FX-8350 about $279. I believe this will out perform 1155...

Your digging a deeper hole man. 1333 with a 7-7-7 timings is real aggressive while 1866 9-11-9 is standard/loose. 1866 8-9-8 against 1333 8-8-8 would have been more fair. Show me that test and talk about which benchmarks are more RAM dependent and less. I know when I change memory speed and...

AMD vs Intel What really matters Again a bad review based on ram.... they paired it with 1600mhz ram and FX needs 1866. Check your reviews before knocking FX. Look at the review I listed. The gaming benchmarks are very competitive when the right hardware is plugged in. Your missing my...

Yeah the 3820 rocks! Today and tomorrow your rig will have what it take for anything. Well maybe in 10 years you'll need an upgrade.

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Core-i7-3770K-vs-AMD-FX-8150-and-Core-i7-2600K-CPU-Review/1537/1 This is a great review. An equal testbed for all three cpu's. The only issue is they just used an AMD video card. If they had swapped in a 570 the review would have confirmed Cpu...

Your stretching things. The 8150 is competitive on the 2600k and costs less. Intel is still the way to go for maximum performance but you have to spend more money. $200 AMD chips are the way to go performance wise. If you can spend over $300 on a cpu and a few bucks more on a mobo then go...
