TPU tests BD Vs Nehalem Vs SB with a 7970

no everyone is complaining already because the 920 isnt overclocked.

This would show people how strong the 920 still is after all the years its been out.

This is why i and many others who know intel cpu's are waiting for haswell, because the current lineup isnt much of a performance boost in our eyes, but more of a power reduction.

And dude i was one of the front leading people who said bulldozer was going to fail... i even got massive flames for making such a statement.

The one thing intel wont ever do is call foul saying benchmarks are bad and try to cover it under a expensive rug.

+1000

I'm still interested in seeing what IB is going to bring to the table but couldn't have said it better myself Haswell is most likely my next stop.

Haswell + Maxwell has a nice ring to it

I'm more of an Ati guy myself.

So it would either be Tahiti's refresh or the next gen card after that

Apparently SSDs haven't reached Techpowerup yet.... so their results are useless.

Does CPU performance in games ever come into play? - Skyrim, shmyrim, badly threaded ports work well enough.
When it comes to encoding and 7zip, Bulldozer is the Winrar.

An all AMD build would be kind of hot...and also timely.

lol your post is useless.

Go play a Custom 4vs4 map in starcraft 2 and tell me cpu doesn't matter or jump into a 64 player server in BF3.
