But the FPS figures you're claiming to be running aren't accurate (Yes, the FPS at the time of the screenshot is accurate, but they don't mean anything) because they're displaying nothing really.
Saying you're running 100 FPS min, but you're showing off a screenshot of nothing happening means nothing.
I'd say this if it was an Intel owner banging on about an i5. In fact, I remember when Haswell launched, someone jumped to a 4770K from a 3770K (Or 4770K from a 3570K) and banged on about the performance improvement in Batman. I called him out on it, as did others. (I don't doubt he may see some gain, but his gain was far and above anything you can get from the change. His gains would have likely came from his reformat with fresh and latest drivers)

Right got that, now all i have as a recording is an audio file. so what next?
I can't stand things like this, where whatever they do it has to be obscure.
Yeah, well done Sony..... lol its useless, i'm not recording for 2 hours to get a 1GB file, i can't stand playing for that long.

Odd, I did 11 minutes and it was either over 1GB or it wasn't a problem (I've not got the original any more as it was a large file to have sitting around, so I'm guessing it was more than 1GB).
EDIT: Tried again and the recording was longer but the file seemed smaller. Guess they must've changed something.

Yeah, pity he didn't test them both at 4GHz...
Considering the FPS differences weren't that great would buying a £140 CPU really be a better idea than just adding that money to your GPU budget and gaining more FPS?

He tested both the Phenom II X6 and FX8350 at 4GHZ.
Edit!!
Ignore what I said.
Phenom II X6 CPUs still sell for decent money now,so something like an FX8320 would be not that expensive an upgrade.

£90+ on FleaBay ^^^ 
As has been said i tested them both at 4Ghz, the difference in gaming is about +15% to the FX-83##, thats also with 1600Mhz RAM vs 1600Mhz.
Unlike the Phenom II the FX-83## is capable of running 2400Mhz RAM which should add another <10%. its a significant gain.
As for things like WoT and PS2, after more extensive testing in PS2 i found the FX-83## will drop to as low as 50+ for very short periods in very intense situations, that is still much much better than what the Phenom II could manage, in the same situations that would drop into the 30's.
WoT i'm impressed with, i have not seen it drop below 80+ yet, again very much better than the Phenom II.

I would be intrested to see what performance you get in these games, i have BF3 (or did you mean BF4?) to test if you want
I could do that for you, I have both BF's. In BF4 I was anywhere from 80-120fps (limited) but mainly near 80fps. Now it's 99.9% 120fps solid and just luuuurvely. The biggest increase I saw was in RTW2, the difference is night and day. 35fps in battle map with lower settings in the 960T and now I cap my frame rate @60fps, that was a dream I never dared to dream for that game

Put up a benching method for me and i will follow it.
Scene settings ecte..
What GPU was that?
