Heya's
Seeing as my rig (a C2D Quad) will be invalidated with the launch of ArmA 3 I'm thinking ahead of what to get CPU-wise when the time comes. I think we all know that Ivy-Bridge will be a solid choice but I'll admit to being interested in the potential of AMD's FX range.
I realise that at the moment FX does not stack up too well. I'm curious however to hear if with proper drivers and a CPU heavy game like ArmA 3 will FX get more comparable to Intel's offerings?
Thanks.
AMD-FX will rock on next generation when they fix some things. I don´t belive some drivers and windows fixes will solve, but the arquiteture has a LOT of potencial in the future. So i too have a C2 Quad (Q6600) and will go for ivy in 2012.
When is Ivy Bridge going to be released?
I want to upgrade from my Phenom II, its bottlenecking my GTX 570.
i have a i7 950 & 470 gtx and i want to change to 7970 !
ive been reading stories about an april release for ivy bridge,along with those new intel chipsets. geraldus is right, piledriver could be an eye-opener,who knows lol.
over at bit-tech.net they did an arma2 benchmark on bulldozer,maybe u can use it as a precursor of the kind of performance to be expected in arma3,although nothing is certain.
latest news is April 8 for Ivy Bridge. I myself will wait for Haswell.
Arma 3 and xAItment.

AMD FX? Throw out that piece of trash.
You can get sandy bridge i5 or i7 with unlocked multiplier (2500K and 2600K respectively) and you will be set. They will get even cheaper when ivy bridge is out.
Fix AI in ArmA3
AI knows enemy position at all times, no matter what (incl. video) || AI reflexes are extremely bad in CQB (incl. video) || AI can't see enemies being lit by light at night
Fix realism issues with ArmA3
Sprinting is too fast and instantaneous || It takes 0.1 sec to pull a pin and throw a grenade || The sun is not dangerous (this is NOT for A2 HDR, it's for A1/A2 sun visual) || floating camera when rolling and aiming
New year, same trolling.Originally Posted by metalcraze
If you think that a 2011 CPU that is slower than 2008 CPUs from the same company but costs more is not a piece of junk - then yes I'm a troll.
AMD FX isn't going to get magically better, there are no "errors" to fix. It isn't some crappy videocard driver which you just code better. It's a battle of architectures on a ~30 nm battlefield that AMD fails all the time for past years.
As much as I liked AMD in the past when they still could make a good CPU, beating Intel - this year I'll be switching to Intel because for AMD this isn't going anywhere, which they themselves very much admitted.
The CPU is slower than Phenom II in certain workloads and much faster on others. It was a compromise. Architectural decisions. They (AMD) are not competing for x86 performance crown anymore. Not saying this to advocate AMD, it is just what it is.
The architecture will be fine tuned however, even though they know and we know that they won't get the performance crown anyway. As far as i see it, the architecture is failing to hit higher clockspeeds as we speak, just like what happened with Agena (Phenom I).
This doesn't make FX == junk or FX == thrash. And yes i believe that (metalcraze == troll) returns true.
