FX or X2?

[killzoneman0]

i've heard alot of stuff about both the fx-57, and the x2 series.

for the x2, i've heard that they bottleneck 7800gtx's, for the fx-57, i've heard that its just a smaller processor with boosted up speed.

can anyone tell me the differences between these processors,(other than the x2 being dual core)

also, can you tell me which processor(fx-57,x2-3800+,x2-4400+,ect.) would be best for gaming,making games, and multitasking the previous items.

also, whats the difference between the dual core and single?

i would greatly appreciate help

I have a FX-55 OC'ed to 2.8GhZ; it's practically the same exact thing.

The FX-57 is definetely the best for gaming. For making games, I really wouldn't know. I think Intel might be better at the actual creation process, but like I said, I don't know. Multitasking goes to the X2 4800+ by far; two cores are better than one when it comes to handling more than one application.

Dual core is basically having two processors in one chip.

would the x2 3800+ bottleneck a 7800gtx?

CPU's get bottlenecked by the Video cards btw. Any CPU unless its a 3.7GHZ FX57 will get bottlenecked by a high end video card.

about how long will an fx-57 and a 7800gtx last before i absolutely need to upgrade because the fx-57 and 7800gtx wouldnt be able to handle high end games?

 

[GeforcebOY1]

a FX57 & 7800GTX would be able to handle high end games for a very long to come, i recon 4 years if you are willing to scraifice resiultion and quilty??

 

[killzoneman0]

so if i bought those 2 things now, it wouldnt be a waste of money?

 

[GeforcebOY1]

no way , but you said about multitasking with dual core cpu's then i would wait until early next year for AMD FX 60 and a 512Mb Geforce 7800GTX?? its up to you weather you can wait.

 

[killzoneman0]

yeah, i suppose i'll wait and save up. how much do you think the fx60 and 512mb 7800gtx will be? also, are the fx-60 and 512mb 7800gtx definately coming out?
