Vishera 5Ghz FX-9000/8770

How arrogant must people be to claim that a certain game is "poorly optimized or coded"? Especially when looking at other results that are GPU bottlenecked...oh my.

If the games weren't "poorly optimized", the reviewers would have been "paid off by intel", or "NVIDIA has sabotaged that game". You've been around long enough to recognize this for what it is.

Nonetheless, his links have showed us when running multi gpu, AMDs flagship CPU is inferior at F1 2012, Skyrim, and Civilization V and that is helpful.

And of course there are the VRZone benches where AMD gets p3wned in every benchmark:

Where I'm sure the answer is again, "B-b-but those framerates are good enuff!".

Why would anyone who spends $800 on a couple video cards buy a $200 CPU that all the reviews agree cripple them?

Especially when there are $200 CPUs like the 2500K that don't cripple them?

"People don't play those games anyway"?

Huh? If the AMD CPU cripples performance in those games, which others fail on AMD?

Looks like Borderlands 2 is another game AMD fails at, never heard of anyone playing that.

(prepares for wall of text wherein we'll learn it's crazy and un-American to buy parts that cost the same but perform better, use less power, and give off less heat)

Can't wait for reviews of this $920 chip.
