AMD Bulldozer Finally!

Not sure how you can say he noticed a downgrade from a 1075T and then say the FX8 can still do high end gaming :p

We did benchmarking with FRAPS, Notepad (for the results) and so on with certain games he plays a lot. He doesn't play Shogun 2 though so the biggest impact was really on a game he didn't play.

In basic sense, we becnhmarked his 1075T, fitted the 8150 in, very eagerly i may add, then ran the same tests for that CPU, then we got the results. Exact same we do for all CPU and GPU upgrades is compare them :)
But it can still do high end gaming, it just doesnt do it as well as his old 1075T, the FPS were still playble, only certain games dropped below the 50fps mark. Whilst the 1075T kept most games above the 50fps mark. So yeah its still able to do high end gaming, just not as good.

If your happy with you FX8150 then thats great, nothing better than been happy with your purchase. I love my HD6970, not the greatest card around anymore but a great purchase and runs Sleeping Dogs (A pretty game with high Res DLC) at 125fps. What more can you ask for.

Bit trickynicy you seem very defensive and aggressive about your CPU, to me that shows you are not 100% satisfied with you CPU choice, if you are you're not showing it confidently. Sorry.

You're new here so you'll learn how this works in the CPU and especially the GPU sections.

This stuff is REALLY important and can be said to be directly connected to ego and penis size. People care very deeply about AMD v INTEL, Nvidia v AMD. Best of all, they become 'proud' to be in a certain camp. Some people even become 'offended' by the other camp whose citizens in return becomes offended by his camp.

Then there's the turncoats. A little spotty nerd who swore by AMD his whole life only to renounce his allegiance, buy Intel and spend a lot of important time arguing with 'Billy324', 'BlsckKnite' and 'Seanie18' about why Intel trounces AMD. Now take into account that the improvement in gaming is pretty much ZERO. And gaming is all that's important here.

Fella, I could go on but you get the idea. Soon you'll see too.
 
i think what people are trying to say is there are better cpu's for similar price. maybe u haven't tryed a SB rig so u won't know how much different it feels in performance.

as i said above u could have sold all your previous components then u could have got a new setup.

Maybe in GPU's that's the way it works, because I've seen how people go on in there.

But here, it's no where near that at all.
It's crystal clear there's a better CPU and a lesser CPU.

And there is an improvement in gaming, some times a lot. High end GPU solutions are getting bottlenecked left right and centre, so the only option is Intel.

Whereas in GPU's it's pretty much all over 1 FPS, having owned 7970 Crossfire and 680 SLI, used a 660Ti and noticing nothing over a 680 or 7970.

Your posts actually annoyed me, stick to GD.

I understand, i tend to try and not promote any form of company vs company wars even when my opinion is one other company is consistently better than the other. But people like to have colors, allegiances and a set taste, nothing i can do about that.

I personally play the field and just go for whats best, i must be doing something right though as its never let me down before :)
