AMD Bulldozer Finally!

Looked like it scored ~ 45 FPS average on the RE5 bench. That surely cannot be right? Was on a 6970 (Or was it a 6790?) and being ran at 1280x720 in a window.

I ran the same test with same settings on a GTX285 just out of sheer curiosity and got 135FPS average.

Something must be terribly terribly wrong hardware wise or just sheer incompatibilities. If it's the latter waiting weeks for software updates to support the architecture will be a massive thorn in AMD's and the buyer's sides.

6790.

AM3+ being extended is the worst part too, as it means only a meagre boost over Zambezi.
Brilliant.... Not.

Honestly, I've never seen mobo ram slots of the same channel be different colors.

They're always different colours, you need one stick of ram in each channel to run 'dual channel'. Thus the slots are coloured so that the same coloured slots filled will give you dual channel.

I'm not sure you read my post correctly :p

Same colour denotes the channel generally, it doesn't make sense to have two different coloured lanes equating to one dual channel.
The pic I put up is what was being used, two modules in two different coloured slots = Single, but in CPUZ it was dual. Perhaps it got changed, but that's where single channel came from.

Just looked at my old 790fx-m2 and my mobo now and yep same colour for dual channel even though the arrangement is different.
I always use all slots so it never an issue for me.

When i build for others i always went by the manual when using 2 sticks.

Not looking good.

Even as someone who has zero interest in BD the results are disappointing. Need something to help push tech along.

I get the BD architecture is looking to be scalable but if an 8-Thread starting point is poor then the scaling will be poor also...no matter how much you can scale it.

All the major websites are hopefully going to have their reviews up in the next few days. It will save you some effort!!:p

I have not see Gibbo do one of this pre-release threads yet either.

LOL It's simple maths and actually I've got a result and the two sets of results fit like a glove. (math compute only)

Obviously video encoding is a different story but on math each core of the bulldozer is the equivalent or a core2duo core - harsh
