Ok, I finally got a new build going after gather parts for a while.
This is a fat, fresh AMD FX-8120 with a minimal OC to 3.4Ghz.
I score a 7.2 windows experience; low because my old HD5750 video card.
specs:
AMD FX-8120 (Hyper 212 cooler)
Biostar TA990FKE MB
8 GB Vengeance RAM
128GB Crucial SSD
Blu-Ray reader optical drive
Radeon HD5750 video card
550w Cooler Master PS
New install windows 7-64bit.
Install Make MKV and then Handbrake.
Normally I do this on my old system (in my sig)
and on a typical blu-ray to MKV (via handbrake) transcode I score 15-20 FPS.
I expected this new system to SMOKE the old one.
To my shock, it scores the same!!!
SOMETHING is holding the CPU performance back on this system and it has to be windows 7.
I noticed CPU usage was anywhere from 85% to 95%. I usually see them held at 100% on my linux system. Something is drastically out of wack here. How can a 8 core fall on it's face so bad??
A Phenom 9500x4 running at 2.3mhz should NEVER be outdone by a FX8120 8 core running at 3.4mhz.
