Impressed with my 1090t

[RavenSEAL]

want to come back to reality where your cpu at 4.0 is using 200 watts MORE than my stock 2500k while still being slower in games?

Wanna come back to earth where I paid less for my CPU so my graphical processing power could be higher than yours?

Which is $50.

if you just upgraded your cpu and already had that board then it makes sense. if you bought that platform from scratch though then congratulations on your minuscule savings up front to own an inferior cpu in almost every way. I would have had to spend more money on a better psu and in electricity to cover those extra 200 watts you use at 4.0 to still be slower.

More like 70-80, you need a decent board to get good OCs out of 2500Ks.

At least I don't have to buy a new motherboard every 6 months because my manufacturer decided to establish yet another pyramid scheme

yeah because 775 or 1366 did not last 3 years now did they? oh and you may want to check some previous AMD sockets before you spout nonsense.

Enjoy socket 2011 in 6 months, I'll be gladly purchasing my new Piledriver in a year without having to get a new motherboard.

lol, so you cant acknowledge that 1366 and 775 where around for a long time? and AMD will be needing either new socket or at least a new chipset to use all of Piledriver's features properly. they probably already regret releasing Bulldozer for AM3+. but hey maybe you can set a new power consumption record when you oc your Piledriver while still being slower than the Ivy Bridge 1155 cpus that will just be sipping power.

This is becoming quite the flamebait of a thread.

Don't most 1090t's hit 3.8ghz by a simple mutilplayer change?

If so i would assume a 3.6ghz 1090t can feed dual 6870 just fine or even a single gpu like a gtx570 in games like BF3 which scale quite well and i am sure Ravenseal can confirm this.

Raven is correct about 70-80 difference between the two i know where i shop the price difference between a mobo and the cpu alone of my picking is $115 which can put a gtx570 into a 1090t build versus a gtx560 ti into a intel...with enough left over for lunch

Does it have to be a race between the two always or what you can afford at a given price point?

 

[toyota]

what difference does 70-80 bucks make when you are buying a cpu that will need much much more power to try and match the other cpu. and again you would need a bigger power supply to if you really want to oc that X6. I guess electricity and a better power supply dont cost anything? lol, and you will still have a slower cpu for overall gaming when its all said and done.

Spot on^

AMD has the upper hand in a value and Intel in performance, it really is about what position you find yourself in and many people simply just don't understand that.

Slow enough to matter?

That's a negative Ghost Rider.

I use my computer for gaming and college work, not benchmarks running 24/7.

 

[toyota]

lol, yes 70-80 bucks difference is a real value for a slower more power consuming cpu. so instead of spending 1000 bucks on an all new pc, I could have spent just 930?

Again, why does it matter? Is your job running CPU intensive benchmarks 24/7 and writing down the scores? If not, then just ..... ... ..... up.

so when its slower it does not matter? but if it was faster then you would be talking about how fast it is. again you lack any logic at all because you are using 200 watts more to have your cpu at 4.0 than the faster stock 2500k. you sure did not care about power consumption or a more expensive power supply but boy you sure make a big deal about your cpu being 50 bucks cheaper. hell you could have bought a 2300 i5 and just oced the turbo a bit if 50 bucks meant so much.

Why do you keep bringing power consumption into the discussion? My X6 is far from running anywhere near full TDP. Hell, even when running BF3 the CPU barely hits 60%/core. My #1 factor when purchasing my Power supply unit was my xFire setup.

 

[RavenSEAL]

Hell, if you wanna talk about an x6 being "generally slower"; I'm pretty sure that if you sit 2 computers with the same configuration just different processors, and a 1090t along side a 2500k, 99% of the world population wouldn't even notice the difference, less actually care.

because you keep making a big deal that your cpu was 50 bucks cheaper. that's inconsequential when you factor in that you needed a beefier power supply and you use 200 more watts under load while at 4.0. in other words dont try and make a stupid argument about a tiny amount of money more up front when in the end it has zero impact on overall costs. reality is when all factors are considered, your platform costs more in the end and is still slower overall for gaming.

Far from $50, it was $70+tax cheaper when I purchased it compared to a 2500K, not to mention I saved $30 on my motherboard. So really, I saved about $120 after rebate. In the long term, i get 2 more cores and if i need to upgrade my CPU, i get to save another $150 by not having to buy another motherboard.

Also, far from a 200 watt difference.

 

[Rifter]

wow the fanobys really screwed up this thread.

1090's are good chips if you are upgrading from a platform that doesnt require a whole new system. If building from the ground up it makes no sense to buy anything but SB at the moment.

keep telling yourself whatever you need to but pleasing stop making ignorant and false claims. 1155 owners will not need a new board for Ivy Bridge and you know that.

You can blame the Intel wagon for that, we were simply enjoying the efficiency and low cost of our X6s until toyota and his friends showed up and puked their intel supremacy all over the walls.

exactly. that's the way anybody with any logic at all will look at it.

you have some serious issues. any normal person on here has owned cpus from both AMD and Intel. I certainly buy whatever happens to be the best overall setup for my needs. for most gamers building a pc from scratch that happened to be a 2500k. I did not give a rats ass who made the cpu but facts are facts.

You're talking to a guy who's last 3 chips have been Intel made...
