Have you tried running GTA 4 w/ ICenhancer, that will be awesome and if so, I will decide on getting AMD over Intel. Your benchmarks in unigine is great.

i havent played it with an enhancer or mod. but the game, despite having horrible coding:mad:, was fine(in game changing between 35-60 depending on the situation -vsync on- as far as i remember) with highest settings, except high on night shadows and below 50 in view distance, detail distance and car density settings. but in this case the cpu doesnt matter that much. because this game puts load on cpu that no pc game supposed to (like some of the rendering). and also i read people with overclocked i7 2600K's complain about it. but in the end you will be able to play it with icenhancer with acceptable performance i am guessing...

edit: also the frames i've given u were actual in-game performance. not the BS benchmark which averages 59,5 fps vsync on and not using more than %60 of cpu and %50 of the gpu biggrin.gif
also even when it was down to 30s it was suprisingly very fluid gameplay(no mods or icenhancer though).

i have the same cpu & gpu combo. i very slightly(because of very high ambient temps) oc'd the cpu to 3.6 and NB to 2.4Ghz, and i am very content with its performance smile.gif

edit: i kinda missed the gaming point and focused on pcie more so i wanted to add some of my results here...might help for comparisons etc.
nvidia drivers: 301.42 whql

unigine (my last run with cpu@3.7) 1920x1080 8xAA 16AF all high extreme tesselation:
FPS:
44.2
Scores:
1114
Min FPS:
25.7
Max FPS:
114.0

3D Mark 11
Performance preset ~P7200
Graphics socre ~8900
Physics score ~4600
Combined score ~4600

also @1080p none of the games have been a problem for me even in highest possible settings. but in shogun 2 fall of the samurai zooming in on big battles(3000vs3000 etc), cpu bottlenecks(fps drops to 20s)...but havent tested that over 3.6Ghz so if u can reach 4 it might be slightly different

Shogun 2 / FOTS is one of the most demanding games on the market today. I am curious what you score on the 1080p scripted benchmark , which is located in the startup menu when you enter S2. Here's mine with an FX-4170 and two $90 GPUs in Crossfire:

A 965 can be had for $76.49 at Superbiiz with the promo code GOTHAM. While I don't think that there would be a bottleneck on a single, PCI-E 2.0 video card such as that, you might want to balance it out with an i5 2500k and a lesser video card.

And an FX-4100 can be had for $100. FX-4170 for $130 ( thumb.gif ) Why would you want to tie yourself to the Phenom's throughput limitations to save $30 $20 on a thousand dollar build? If you are going to go with an AMD CPU Cyb3rw0lf, at least go with an FX and make sure you get some peppy RAM to take advantage of the better memory speeds and throughput with FXs. Samsung 30 nm WonderRAM for $47/8 GB. Whichever CPU you go with do yourself a favor and get at least 1 set of Sams. Best bang for the buck in RAM happening right now.



You are not going to get anywhere close to 12.5 GB/s of throughput with a Phenom.

Um...
http://nl.hardware.info/reviews/2382/14/amd-fx-8150--8120--6100--4100-bulldozer-review-benchmarks-dirt-3

Not just that benchmark, but most benchmarks have the 965 beating or on par with the 4100. Same hardware used aside from the processor.

Thread cleaned. Please stay on topic guys, and if you do have benchmarks to post, then please show ALL RELEVANT information, including settings.

And please, lets try to relax on the name calling and "poop flinging" (somebody else had said that in here....its gone now though).
