Itching to upgrade, wait for Haswell?

[EnderXi]

So, I have a 920 d0 and am itching to upgrade, do i hang on for haswell, is it really going to be a huge step change or just minor performance bonus based on current info?

 

[EnderXi]

its a real tough choice, im playing planetside2 and im alternating between being CPU bottle necked and GPU bottle necked, more CPU bottle necked which really makes me want to shift up to a ivybridge and GTX670 platform but im not sure if i should hold on till haswell, anyone have any updates on when its coming?

 

[EnderXi]

hmmm possible worth cranking the clock speed and upgrading the graphics card then instead of going for a new CPU

 

[EnderXi]

yeah i know when i put the numbers side by side that the 920 still holds up, however....

New....

Shiny....

Want to buy.....

You know how it is, the 3 year upgrade itch

 

[EnderXi]

yeah i was thinking of going up to a pair of GTX 670 providing my PSU has enough of the right power points

 

[EnderXi]

the thing is can I stop the itch for another 5 months, I am thinking that will be a real challenge and for a 10% speed enhancement over ivy, I think what im going to do firstly is get the graphics cards, I can go for the chip/memory upgrade later on if i want.

yeah i know i played PS1 for years, im going to overclock the CPU a bit harder and go for a graphics upgrade then later on add new CPU/motherboard/ram combo, the graphics cards should cure the upgrade itch at least
