Phenom II 1090T + AMD 6950 behavior.

xMaggostx · 01-24-2011, 11:57 AM

Hello guys, yesterday i just made my order with those hardware for my upcoming upgrade and i would like to know how BC2 runs with it.

I dont trust too much in those benchmarks out there too much, because the computer test is so much different from my rig, please fellow 1090T and 6950 share your thoughts!

Why on earth did you order a hexa-core AMD when you can get Sandy Bridge?

Yeah, youd better return it.

It will run beautifully. I have an AMD Phenom II 965BE at 3.4GHz and a GTS 250 1GB graphics card, and I max out BC2 with no trouble.

But he will need a new mobo maybe that is why.

But yeah id save for a sandy bridge CPU and Mobo

Meh, Sandy Bridge is great, but you really get a lot more for your dollar with the Phenom II, especially if you already have an AM3 motherboard. And the overclocking potential is fantastic; my 965 Black Edition can do 4.0GHz with no trouble on stock volts and the stock cooler. I'll probably take it even higher once I get a better cooling system.

Overreact much? It's not DRM. Also benchies have shown the 2600k blowing i7's out of the water while using less power and they OC very well. In fact, other than memory bandwith, an i7 really has nothing on it. And I'm saying this running a socket 1366 i7 OC'd to 4 GHz.

If/when I make a new rig, you can be sure it will be with a Sandy Bridge.

Here's a post where Intel describes how Insider isn't DRM by defining DRM

The only people that will be negatively affected are those who wish to pirate content from services that support Intel Insider.

Intel Insider will not stop you from playing, manipulating or ripping optical media such as a DVD or Blu-ray disk (but those technologies have separate existing safeguards). Intel Insider does not affect P2P services.

Won't affect me, nor most people.

I get a good framerate on my x6 and 5850. You have step ups of both of ine so you should get better.

Because it's cheap and performs well enough?

I've been thinking about getting a Phenom II 900 series. Is the only difference between the different 900s the frequency at which it is shipped?

Thanks.

Cheap? Costs about the same as a i5-2500K...

Please stay away from the off-topic, i would like to know how the game will run with these new hardware. Right now i have an Phenom II 940 and a saphire 4890 1gb and i cant run the game at maximun settings at DX10, i need to set it at low to play with 60+ fps.
