So my machine has been setup to run bulldozer for awhile but when bulldozer came out the reviews made it clear it was a flop. However I've heard that Windows 8 (coming out next month I think...) will run FX cpus much better due to some tweaking and optimizing in the new OS. I game a lot but I'm also editing and rendering video often.My current setup:CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955GPU: Nvidia GTX 560tiRAM: 8GB of Corsair VengenceMobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3PSU: Cooler Master 850WCase: Cooler Master HAF 922
i would wait till the windows 8 has had all its bugs out as when microsoft releases something its very buggy remember vista
There are some benchmarks floating around. in case you observed then you definately might fall ill on your abdomen and you may in all probability merely stick to Intel. then you definately might ask your self why AMD is popping out with Bulldozer in the 1st place. you may take convenience in the reality that the benchmarks are not a hundred% stable. i believe those benchmarks come from a factor of the former u.s. that became the farming u . s . and foodstuff furnish for the previous Soviet block. you will could wait with something human beings... till the top of the week on the main. i'm for my area no longer paying for something till techpowerup, guru3d, and anandtech have a evaluation to make certain.
At this point you are better off waiting until this fall for piledriver to come out. It's should be a notable improvement over bulldozer and will work in your system since it's still going to use AM3+. So yeah get an 8320 or 8350 this fall.
