Waco Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) http://3dmark.com/compare/3dmv/3637734/3dmv/3595598 Yeah. I think that explains itself. The only difference between the two systems is the 2600K system is running x8/x8 CrossfireX and the 8120 system is running x16/x16 CrossfireX. A 1 GHz advantage...and it's nowhere near the 2600K at stock. Another fun link: http://3dmark.com/compare/3dmv/3637734/3dmv/3599061 That's my Phenom II X3 running as a quad at 3.4 GHz versus the 2600K at stock. Note the GPU scores on their own in particular. The FX-8120 is the slowest (at 4.4 GHz), the Phenom II (at 3.4 GHz) is slightly faster, and the 2600K (at 3.4 GHz) is MUCH faster. Slaughter. That's the word you're looking for. As in "the 2600K slaughters both the Phenom II and the FX-8120". Dammit why can't my waterblock bracket get here so I can OC this biotch?!?!?

El_Capitan Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 When did you get your FX-8120 working? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 When did you get your FX-8120 working? Right before I sent it back when I realized it wasn't going to push my 4870x2s any better than my Phenom II. I double-checked my CPU scores compared to a lot of reviews and other users and they were all in line with what I was seeing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Lol, damn. How much time did you spend trying to get that thing to work? Crazy score results. Even the unlocked Phenom II x3 720BE you have almost competes better than the FX-8120. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the unlocked Phenom II x3 720BE you have almost competes better than the FX-8120. I spent about 2.5 weeks screwing with it. The unlocked X3 was actually faster in games than the FX-8120 at 4.4 GHz. The turbo core stuff on the Bulldozer CPUs really obscures the low IPC in games that don't stress a lot of cores. The thing was a complete and utter dog with turbo core disabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgnatewv2 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Seeing those numbers/ results is not making me feel as good about ordering the FX-8150 as I did prior to seeing your benchmarks.... Thanks for all the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
