which is the best for games (FPS shooters etc), has anyone actually compared the two or seen some good benchmark results ?

Fx57 runs at 2.8Ghz and the Fx60 runs at 2.6Ghz which is why im not sure.

Also how easy is it to overclock the Fx60 on air coolers ?


thanks.
 
price is not an issue, I already have an Fx57 and I have a chance to change to an Fx60. I know for general windows usage an Fx60 will be better but I want pure speed for games only - with nothing else running in the background.

My Fx57 runs fine and with OK temps at 2.9GHz and will run at 3GHz with a better heatsink/fan. I asume that if I could get an Fx60 to run at 3Ghz it will be better than the Fx57, but I dont want to go to water or extreme cooling.

hmm but then I'd need a new motherboard and probably memory, plus at the moment I have a chance to change to an Fx60 for not much money.
