Just spent 60$ on a CPU. Im getting 40fps @ 1680x1050 on med settings in Crysis.
To me this is a very good indication of the average gamer, simple and plain. So im going to have to go ahead and agree 500$ on a CPU is pure and unmitigated bullshit only for the people with money to burn on the final 10% performance margin. Those days are just done. Over, kaput!
Phenom II x4 OC starts to look pretty damn good, and that is regardless of the economy right now.
Edit: To add insult to injury here, my GPU is my gaming cap now. Not the CPU. 60$.
