upgrade compatibility question

[Squall Leonhart]

Your argument is invalid
most titles for the foreseeable future will be Direct3D 9.

it doesn't matter what the settings were, the point of benchmark is to compare how different hardware does on identical settings, and if you guys look at skyrim benchmark graph above you can see that when i was saying 2500k smashes FX8150 i wasn't kidding, and price is almost identical 2500k is like $20 more than 8120 and $20 less than 8150, and dont think im intel fan boy or anything i own phenom II as well as intel cpu's but bulldozer is a failure there are benchmarks where phenom II (older amd architecture) beat their new bulldozer, just judge for youreself but i wouldn't buy bulldozer to save $20.
