TCcomputers29 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I imagine that my rendering times would be cut in half? I'm not the biggest fan of overclocking. I probably will pick up an 8350 and 8gb ram today, I'll do some research today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 If rendering I'd go for more than 8GB (unless you're adding to the kit you already have) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCcomputers29 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Got the fx 8350 and 8gb Kingston 1866mhz ram =D ...so excited!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiro Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Maybe you can do a quick render test before/after so that you can quantify whatever improvements you may experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Got the fx 8350 and 8gb Kingston 1866mhz ram =D ...so excited!! At first add that 8GB alone. If you want more then you can always add the existing 4GB module later. Edited April 26, 2013 by d6bmg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCcomputers29 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Ok guys sorry for the late reply (testing my new 8350 ) anyway from what I've seen temps are a little dodgy (12 C idle :/, using a hyper 212+) but I've seen some improvements in gaming such as a ~5 to 10 fps boost in crysis 3, ~10 in Far cry 3. The 8gb ram helps with my crazy multi-tasking (over 15 tabs open in firefox, sony vegas (not rendering), listening to a music video in WMP, 1 word sheet open, hardware monitor in the background and origin open in the background lol). I'll be doing a rendering test soon (it won't be 100% correct but bare with me). Anyway I'm impressed with the performance of this chip, I now have enough spare parts to build a second comp (phenom 955, 4gb ram, 6770, 160gb HDD ). I don't see why people are so harsh on the FX series (pretty good price/performance). TC out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 ^^ People were harsh about first gen FX processors. But not many are harsh about Piledrivers, the new FX series, specially 8350. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohldboy Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Original pricing and hype were high, performance disappointing.<br /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCcomputers29 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Anyway..rendering times where good but I did notice that as I was rendering the CPU usage was ~30 - 40 % O.o ....I dont think sony vegas movie studio utilizes all 8 'cores'. Movie studio 11 platinum is 32-bit aye? While rendering 5mins of 720p gamesplay it took 12mins, with my 955 it took i think ~40 mins (dont hold me on that) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, how many cores were active when the CPU utilization was 30-40% ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Is the temp sensor problem fixed? It might need a BIOS update or whatevs A shame you'll have to upgrade to Steamroller > Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCcomputers29 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I'll have to look into that, not sure how many cores were being utilized. My bios is currently f8 or 9 lol I'll have to check on it (990fxa ud3) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
