Strange reactions here to this article... this is a look at performance when you increase the CPU to 4.7 GHz. The IGP is separate, and should be looked at separately. You can say that "nobody would ever get one of these and just use it as a CPU"... instead of assuming that, tests like these tell...

It is, in the region where the site is based

Although not perfect, I still think using FRAPS frame time measurements is better than using it (or anything else) for FPS This stuttering isn't just there at the beginning of the pipeline - you can see it with your own eyes, especially if you record it with high speed video. IMO it is still...

Oops didn't look at the date, sorry :\

Somewhat outdated link... This link from the same site does a better job of illustrating the difference between different CPUs in gaming performance: http://www.hardcoreware.net/amd-piledriver-fx-review-vishera-8350/3/ Looking at frame delivery times instead of frames per second

Read the link in the OP. The benchmarks you posted are all hardware limited, of COURSE they are going to be the same no matter what OS you use. Also using frames per second to compare games between OSes is not accurate enough to show a difference.

As for Windows 8 touch controls, how about this keyboard? http://www2.elecom.co.jp/peripheral/full-keyboard/tk-fdp055/

Oh I thought it was a custom icon with Classic Shell... I have mine looking pretty good but I can't quite get the bottom margin perfect

Hey your start icon looks almost just like the one I made, only better. Where did you get it?

Different video cards

Say you want to start Photoshop, just hit Start and type Photoshop. But if you want to access something like "printers" or "devices" or something in control panel, you have to type it, hit down twice, enter, then you can see it.

I like launching that way too, I just wish they hadn't separated the regular program search with the control panel search.

That's what happens when you use hardware limited benchmarks ;)

You mean Metro? You can :) http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/

It didn't blow me away, but I think I am more impressed with Vishera than Kyle was. I like the 8320 at $180 since it should have about as much headroom as the 8350 for $40 less. I had my 8350 at 4.6 GHz at 1.4v with a Phanteks, and I think I am just about as strict with OC results. With the AMD...

Pretty good, a 4.9 GHz overclock with auto OC!

BTW the $145 board at Amazon is a D3H, not UD3H. Not sure what the difference is, but the UD3H reviewed here is about $160 at most retailers

Did you even read the article? Look at the Witcher 2 results The problem with FPS over time is that FPS only looks at one second at a time.. if a game is running at 60 fps, that means it is taking 60 points of data, and averaging them out over a second. That doesn't sound like much, but in the...

Within the article, you'll see a link to a full explanation here.

Ah they added full MSAA with the DX11 updates, good catch! Until now, MSAA was not available in DX9 mode, and any implementations were 'hacks' (such as the function that was added to Arkham Asylum by Nvidia)

Here's hoping more sites jump on the 'frame delivery time' bandwagon :)

That is 3" from the fan though... Pretty loud considering it was outperformed by the Noctua

I wasn't looking for anything from you, just stating a fact. I am not a fan of "pimpin" either, but I saw this thread so I had to clarify things (I haven't been around in a while so I had to start a new account).

Kalden I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.. If you're talking about design, the only similarity I can see is that we both use a shade of red in the design... I really don't know how to comment on that.. It's nice to know though, that our site is on your mind when you are reading other...
