    3 x 2560x1600 on HD 7750

    I am a developer, lots of windows open if you do the server part for web applications. Stepping up to 7770 seems to be need if this should work

    3 x 2560x1600 on HD 7750

    Is it possible to use three 30" monitors using a HD 7750 on 2560x1600 ? What type of splitter works if I need to put two or three monitors on one displayport?

    I think it all boils down to: Bulldozer was not ready to release

    Idle power is good and that is most important, With AMD you don't need to buy as many motherboards as with intel I hope GF will improve the power consumption on higher clocks

    Who needs good singlethreaded performance?

    I think it all boils down to: Bulldozer was not ready to release

    Those that actually need a fast cpu gets a fast cpu with bulldozer because most processor intensive applications are threaded.

    Llano is thuban on 32nm Bulldozer on Photoshop CS5 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fx-8150-zambezi-bulldozer-990fx,3043-15.html Photoshop CS4 Bulldozer runs well on newer applications that need a fast cpu

    So what went wrong with BD?

    It doesn't perform like shit, what it does is that it doesn't live up to expected performance. They need to focus on L1 cache speed

    why choose BD of any variety over a 2500K?

    The lowest FPS values are higher on bulldozer

    Why are you surprised about Bulldozer's performance?

    That is the main problem. I think AMD hoped for clocks about 4.0-4.2 and turbo 4.6-4.8. Maybe it will be there the next or next-next stepping.

    Bulldozer, best gamer cpu because high min values?

    Not for me. The lowest 5% is the most important average fps on BF3 for bulldozer is ok though, maybe better than intel

    There seems to be some strange hiccups in that game, don't think that is a cpu issue

    Bulldozer, best gamer cpu because high min values?

    I was planing to get FX-8120 If all games stoped beeing developed today, no more power needed then my X3 @ 2.5 GHz would do just fine except for BF3 FX-8120 will run all games fine too. But lets say one or two years from now edit: I also think we will se some price drops soon

    Do you know any other game that need more cpu compared to battlefield 3? If the other 98% of the games don't need a fast cpu, it doesn't matter

    I am interested in games that need cpu power, games that don't tax the cpu isn't important for obvious reasons ;) Looking for a CPU that is future safe, not the one that is fast on older games

    Is Bulldozer the best gamer cpu today? Checking graphs for battlefield 3 on hardocp, the lowest fps values har higher than 2500K and 2600K. I don't care if a cpu can produce 10 000 FPS in sertain parts if it also have bottlenecks. What is important is that the lowest FPS har high. Looking att...

    AMD BD Review from Lab 501 legit results

    It runs well, singlethreaded performance should be a bit slower but it seems to run better than expected. In threaded software it is going to show who is the boss

    On Bulldozer: If you're building a gaming PC, this is going to be the way to go.

    Games that don't use more cores will not be hard to run. When more games will use multithreaded rendering bulldozer will perform better, DX11 has that feature

    On Bulldozer: If you're building a gaming PC, this is going to be the way to go.

    No they can't When applications start to use more threads and more memory you need a change the cache, bigger and more flexible.Otherwise the cores will sit and wait for memory from ram and that slows performance. L3 cache on bulldozer is 8MB 64 way set associative, compare that to intels...

    On Bulldozer: If you're building a gaming PC, this is going to be the way to go.

    Much more important than you think. This means that it has better min values and that it scales better than intel. As games will be more demanding bulldozer is going to perform better and better compared to intel

    Battlefield 3 Open Beta Performance and Image Quality @ [H]

    Complicated games that use a lot of memory and scale to more cores need a good cache. i5/i7 don't have as flexible cache as phenom and prefetching don't work when memory use is heavy. It doesn't matter if you overclock when cores are waiting for memory. I think that battlefield will be...

    As a gamer, to hexa or not hexa...(q6600 upgrade)

    But that is exactly what happens if you increase the GPU power. You can do this in two ways. Lower the resolution or add more gpu power. The GPU is working much more linear. The load on the GPU doesn't change as much as the CPU. i5/i7 has very aggressive prefetchers on data. If the data is...

    As a gamer, to hexa or not hexa...(q6600 upgrade)

    No! i5/i7 do very well when the load is light! If the game only uses one or maybe two threads on light loads and you have a GPU setup that doesn't break the CPU, i5/i7 will gain a lot of FPS.

    Any new CPUs from AMD soon?

    Intel's strong field are easy loads in terms of code and data that is organized, they use the cache very effectively with prefetchers in this situation. This area also simple to test ind different performance tests. But it is quite rare in normal use. At these light loads Intel has a much...
