yeah I have seen this suggested a few times but never looked into it. they only costs 60 to 80 bucks though for a 6 core cpu?
so you are at your some old passive aggressive crap yet again. I posted links to exactly what I was talking about that backed up why I said what I did so stop your trolling.

you are too busy trying to be a jerk that you only see what you want to see. look at the freaking links as even clock for clock it was no better in some games and even occasionally worse. all thats right there and you darn well know it. and yes i already said that I was talking about pre DO cpus and clearly showed a link saying 3.8 appears to be about max for those. I am sick of you starting your crap and taking things out of context.

yeah those things you occasionally link to when they back up what you have to say. but please tell us more about your 930 which is not the same thing as pre DO 920. and I have no idea what revision he has but neither do you.

This.OC the core i7 920 to 3.2GHz and above and get a AMD R9 290. OC the card to 1GHz and you are set to go for a long time.
Next year upgrade to Windows 10 with DX12 and enjoy.
:sneaky:I totally forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder! If he can sell his i7 920 for $50, this could be an epic upgrade swap. Those 32nm 5650s overclock well beyond 4Ghz.
According to my tests, in CPU limited situations neither vendor performs really well. Games you play and features required is what should be bothering you, imo. Geforce and Radeon both have strong and weak points. "Personality" should be the deciding factor, not looks.
Yeah, the speed is there. But like I said earlier, the only problem is power consumption. My 4770K at load consumes less power than 920 at idle. That 6-core Xeon might fare better, though.
maybe you should pay more attention before making your comments. I was saying it was not much faster than the Core 2 QUAD. which it clearly isnt in those reviews as it even lost to it a couple cases even at same clockspeed. those acting like it was some massive jump over Core 2 quads for gaming are living in fantasyland. HT rarely will help the i7 and you know that and can still actually slow down a game by couple fps.
