Hello,
I currently have an i7 960 at 4gz and a 7950 (my monitor is 1920x1200) . I am considering an upgrade but having trouble determining how much extra performance in gaming a new cpu will actually have, which will determine the direction of my investment. I normally play guild wars, which as an mmo I take is cpu limited? The game feels sluggish and I think it is cpu related but hard to tell.
When reading reviews I typically see numbers such as 1 or 2 fps improvement in games on changing cpu but it is hard to gauge how the incremental changes over the last 5 years has added up. Does anyone have any experience regarding this or is there a good resource someone can point me towards?
Thanks!
