Max Payne 3

Metal Gear Solid GZs

Once I did the math at checkout I had an awakening. Why was I about to pay more for some shit AMD FX platform when I can have the best from Intel for the same money LOL. and I just was sick of being an AMD peasent.

Metal Gear Solid was running @ 30 to 45 fps max on the Phenom II x4 955 and now after the Intel swap it runs @ 60fps min LOL. I have come to understand that it is the CPU that delivers the performance and the GPU that dictates the image quality.

So AMD is shit now? Considering the 8350 is worse than a X4 phenom.

AMD has been shit since the Athlon64 single core days in 2005 when they were wctually allot faster and better than Intel. That was a long time ago.

How's the performance outside of games compared to your last processor?

Percivabley the same cause I am still on 4GB single channel ram. 8GB Dual channel Domminator GT 1600 kit is on order. Cinebench runs allot faster but I am not the type to place value on the synthtic bencmarks. I think the 8GB high speed ram kit will relly wake windows up though. The Intel platform is much more stable and just works better all around though. An example is when installing windows 8.1 from a USB stick on my old AMD platform it would take 30mins before it would even detect the USB and now it's detected instantanously. USB 3.0 is very nice.

you know what really wakes up windows? having it installed on an SSD :P

the bottleneck to your system's OS and programs will always be the 20+ years old tech within it called: a mechanical hard drive.

Lol, I did that with my OC rig, and now I know the CPU wasn't causing the computer to run slowly.

I went over to TH forums for a little fun LOL. Those morons were trying to get me to buy an AMD FX CPU cause they say more cores are better LOL. They go around pumping up AMD FX CPUs around there then some poor bloke buys it based on the AMD fanboys recomendations and misinformation and then they are right back on the forms complaining that the new AMD FX rig is slow and hot etc LOL.

Hmm, I'm thinking of kicking the hornets nest and showing my E8500 beating the shit out of an FX 8350 at the same clock speeds. That would burst their bubbles.

Well I don't think the old Core 2 Duo will beat out an AMD FX chip but the new Pentium G3258 does pity the hell out of the FX 8350.

MOPS on a single core is what I'm talking about, and I recently saw a Pentium G3258 @ 4.5GHz that managed to get lower minimum FPS in Crysis 3 with a GTX 970 than my E8500 at 4.05GHz.

That 8350 would have just performed as good as your Phenom x4, hardly an upgrade.

LOL the old Phenom II Denieb cores actually had stronger per core performance than AMD FX has today LOL. That's why in games you see the high end Phenom II x4 980 and and Phenom II x6 CPUs getting simlar or even better performance than some AMD FX shit LOL.

I said I am not a fanboy and I proved it. I put thy money were my mouth is and bought the best for the money. No no I am not a troll friend.
