Phenom X6 1090T FSX performance

[Humpty 752]

LOL, i was wondering if you forgot to put something after i3's.

Hahaha gotcha

Hahaha gotcha

I am going to upgrade my NEW system to a NEW system next month or so, I am definitely looking at the i5 2500k and the 560ti but just awaiting for the FX chips as they claim it to be a HPC and a different design and if they have a better performance per clock for FSX but still would like to wait till Flight is out . So the next system would be : i5 2500k 8 GB Corsair or G.skillAsus P67Nvidia 560ti Corsair 650HXCooler Master Hyper 212 plus or a water cooler or the Noctua D14hCooler Master Elite 430 (which I am purchasing this week)the largest screen available / probably three of them.SSD 's with the current HDD's. Oh ###### that would be three system's in my house .

Three screens for extended resolution? or just to drag some 2D panels?

Probably extended resolution, for the dashboard I could put a 4th screen below.

you know you need SLI for that, do you? or an ATI card with eyefinity, or Triple Head2Go

Nah I did not know that, as on the current rig I can see two display cards one onboard and the other HD 5450 both can be seen under CCC for extended desktop so I thought when I get the new rig I would have that option and put three more displays.

TH2Go is a sweet idea. Although there are a few monitor limitations.

I'm running at close to max settings on my 1090T and having amazing performance, while saving some money for good add ons. I guess I am one of the few who have not been affected by Intel's marketing machine.

What limitations ?

post your settings and what tweaks are you using ?

[NGX 1]

Close to...not max. Difference. You're arguing against the evidence here. Intel's technology blows AMD's away by....well the amount I showed above.

What limitations ?

Triple 1280x1024 monitors only. Doesn't support triple 1920x1080 or other widescreen monitors.

alrighty .

Phenom II's aren't really below i3's in performance. The Black Edition X6's and the very top X4's perform around the level of an i5-7XX or i7-8XX (sometimes even around the level of an i7-930, depending on applications). They definitely don't hold the power of an SB chip but for the price of an i7-2600K I got a motherboard, 8GB DDR3 RAM, and a 1090T that I'm content with. Actually a fun fact that I didn't even know until a few weeks ago. Both AMD and Intel's current line-up of chips aren't built on 'new' technology. Both are revisions of prior technology. The current i7's and i5's are built on Core and Core 2 technology. Core was released in early 2006 and Core 2 followed a few months later. The current Phenom II's are a revision of Phenom which was released in late 2007. AMD's technology isn't older than Intel's in fact, it's younger! Well, unless you consider K10 was built off K8. Intel has just had a more aggressive and faster paced R&D which allowed them to jump from LGA 775 to 1156 to 1366 to 1155 in 5 years while shrinking from 65nm to 32nm while AMD stuck with socket AM3 (now AM3+) for five years and has only done a shrink from 65nm to 45nm. *EDIT: I forgot to put in the main sentence here, that bashing AMD for being 'ancient' isn't quite accurate. They've just been slow on becoming 'modern' if that makes any sense. It'd be nice to have some real competition with the release of Bulldozer. Even if it could compete properly with Nehalem that would be great considering AMD's lower prices. Until then I'm selling all my old Core 2's I have laying around and putting hours into designing for FSX to find the money to buy an SB-E or IB system.

It would not matter if it was an older technology or the newer one performing well in FSX , it is what performs and after years of people regretting buying FSX now they are looking at getting into the cockpit again. So currently it is the intel SB which is going around . If I was getting performance from a Phenom then I would go for it. But we have to know from people who are achieving good performance on the Phenom's with what settings / add ons / tweaks etc..... even people with the SB probably may be using a tweak. So anyone with a Phenom write down your sets and everything.

"Intel marketing machine" like if AMD was a non profitable organization or somethingAn X6 is good for the price (after AMD was forced to lower it) for applications that use all 6 cores. Not for FSX
