Yes, I blew my power budget with my sli 460s. I have a 550w psu and the two cards will peak at around 400w. Doesn't leave much toom for this failure of a CPU.
Their mistake selling 990x and 990fx motherboards before the release of its featured to come processor.
The value deduction isn't gonna make many now 990fx owners feel any better the selling point to me was the support of sli...two gtx580s for example with a 8150 can you just imagine the power it would pull?
It would be a furnace .

two over clocked gtx460s can easily consume well over 400 watts all by themselves.Yes, I blew my power budget with my sli 460s. I have a 550w psu and the two cards will peak at around 400w. Doesn't leave much toom for this failure of a CPU.
Isnt it amazing that BD is 2 billion transistors and cannot compete with a 1.16 billion transistor Intel CPU?
Thats how bad it is. They should abort the whole thing right now.

AMD were right about not releasing early benchmarks in fear of cannibilizing their current sales. Except it wouldnt have been due to a halt of Phenom II sales because of people holding off buying and waiting for BD causing a backlog of unsellable inventory, but for people realizing that BD wasn't worth waiting for and buying SB.
Note that the 1.16 billion transistor Intel CPU has a gigantic integrated GPU eating its transistor budget.
Ugh..I didn't even think of this. Piledriver has a GPU, right? How big will that thing be?
Amd is effectively left with no processor that wouldn't bottleneck two gtx580's. For the extreme gamer, with dual gpus, amd isnt a viable alternative.
8150 is Almost 400w overclocked! That's insane.
Overclocking an FX-8150 is like taking an overclocked 2500k and adding an HD6950 2GB as a cherry on top of it.
Looks like the market for $70+ supercoolers is back!! Thermalright, Prolimatech, Noctua must be having an office party today
Screw it. I'm disapointed, but I wanted a new CPU and don't want old tech... My system was built for BD and I don't want to tear it apart and lose money on ebay.
I think I may still go with it. Debating. the 1035T is a fill in.
Just pulled the trigger... Just ordered a FX-8120. New toy to play with.
I waited this long and had my system built and ready for it.
I have a big PSU and don't care about my power bill.
I pulled the trigger. For some reason I'm still happy to be finally getting one to tinker with.
Decided in the end I'd rather have newer tech than old.
What I don't get is even with overclocking there is hardly any performance increase from stock. *scratches head*. Mind boggling.
