Return of AMD FX: My OC'd AMD FX 8150 review with OC'd 6990 - First Results UP!

Naw, you don't want their video cards either, pain in the ass drivers. If you insist you can send me one of your GTX 580s and I'll send you this 6900. :wanker:

 

Sorry bro don't think 1 580 and 1 amd card will play well in sli. Lol

 

Why would you spend all that money on something that's going to make 0.1% difference tops?

 

You know I was reading through the posts in this thread and came to this conclusion.

Bulldozer may not be Sandy Bridge, but it's plenty for gaming. If this guy wants the chip and feels excited about it, why can't he post reviews for his hardware?

I mean really, it's nice to see some real world performance from the community here for this chip.

I see too many people just bashing. If you aren't interested in the article, then you should just pass on by instead of leaving rude comments and attacking the review.

 

After reading this thread I have come to 2 conclutions;
1: The OP is (IMHO) treading on a very slippery slope by posting reviews of other sites and not one from this site. To me it seems kind of in bad taste and rude. I could care less about results as I am not looking to replace my rig for a bit.
2: The OP seems to be doing some sort of marketing here as he hasn't contributed anywhere else in the whole forum. Not even in other AMD CPU threads. I have only seen that done by a few others and they worked for G3d and their threads were there for support reasons.
So what's the deal here? Why, if you are so versed in the AMD BD CPU, not offer help in other threads? Why is your first post (and only posts for that matter) a benchmark thread in a forum that does their own benchmarks? If the answer to the last question is to help people then please refer to the first question.
I appologise if this is a real attempt at doing some good. It just reaks of marketing.

 

Im excited over the results and what more benchmarks we can expect.

I think however its a bit unfair to compare this processor with an I7-2600k since i7 is a more expensive CPU and should perform better

 

Im sorry for not posting much in the forums here, as with numerous other forums I registered with to share my review with. My main center is over at overclock.net. I am a very busy person, and just actually thought it would be a good idea to post an update for my rig in this post to revitalize people's interest. I assure you I am not a viral marketer, and that I do not receive anything from AMD or any other companies.

My memory and motherboard were giving me issues due to a short circuit, so I purchased new hardware and plan on either selling or RMAing my other dysfunctional hardware in the future.

 

But it is interesting to see that Bulldozer will absolutely stomp an i7 3960x @ 4.7 ghz (look @ ensight in Specviewperf) in some tests, just like the i7 will absolutely stomp it in others.

 

BD stomping 3960x?? haha, amd rep >>>

 

Its ignorant for you to believe that the i7 will beat an FX 8150 in absolutely every benchmark or cpu test.

Stop trolling its getting old and lame :stewpid:

heres an ivy bridge preview with a 8150 thrown in there

seriously how many forums have you joined just for your one 1 uno thread?

 

nah, the i7 3960x destroys the 8150, i can only think of one benchmark that amd cpus do extremely well in.

jesus... he posted the same thing on every forum out there lol

 

I just Google OP name followed by 8150. 5 pages of hits

 

Out of over hundreds of interested visitors, only TWO people (trolls) have a real issue with my review.


You just proved that you know absolutely nothing about FX performance if you think a 3960x beats it in every single test.. haha

:stewpid:

 

where did I say that that chip would beat the 8150 in every single test??

 

He obviously confused you with Agent. Though seriously guys, just let him have his thread. Even if he's just a marketer, his seemingly legit benchmarks are alright. Bulldozer performs decently enough.

 

Nobody said that 3960x beats it in every test. i said that ive only recalled seeing one bench out there that beat the 3960x and it was a bench tailored for AMD cpus, and yet it did not stomp the 3960x like you said.

 

Its more like people driving real slow to see a horrific car crash than interested viewers.

 

There are numerous examples for tests where an AMD FX processor will wipe the floor with any i7. Look to specific passmark tests / sandra tests / specviewperf11 tests in my review.

 

nobody wants to dig around looking for benches, just link them that has the 3960x in it.
