davidgbailey First Comment!!!Reply
AMD is competing with Core 2 Duo? Why don't they try to compete with core i7? Oh wait, they can't compete with core i7 being 2 years behind. But AMD FTW against Core 2 Duo 2 years later!!! -
royalcrown Wow, only 80 bucks to upgrade a four whole fps over my 5400 x2....lemme rush right out, not !Reply -
urban_black_redneck Curnel_DI'd upgrade to the 6400+BE before I'd upgrade to the 7000 series.Now the 6000 is just under $80 (same price as the 7750BE) and the 6400 is hard to find.Reply
I am building my first gaming computer from the ground up, proudly starting with the 7750 Black Edition. -
amdgamer666 would like to have seen some overclockability tests but otherwise great article. good to see amd has released kuma (finally) to become slightly more competetiveReply -
Naw-yi notice the memory used is 800mzh not 1066mhz, also why would they use different video cards? the drivers used arnt even up to date... test should be run with alike hardware and software(or as close to alike as possible) or its not to be taken seriously.Reply -

cangelini Naw, I'll ask Patrick to answer the memory questions. However, if you read the Test Setup page, you'll see that only one graphics card was used. Also, given the mainstream nature of these graphics cards versus the very high-end graphics card, there is no way in a million years that the WHQL driver used would have any effect on the outcome of these benchmarks.Reply -
cangelini Naw, ran the memory question past our German team and updated the piece. Same modules were run at 1066 and CAS 5. Thanks for the catch. Hope that answers all of your questions. If there's anything else, please let me know!Reply
