Sandy Bridge experience on Arma2 (from Q6600)

[jonneymendoza]

This Q6600 has to be the best value chip I have ever bought, it has just remained competitive (with regards to gaming) for so long. I'll be a little bit sad when I eventually get rid of it.

I think I have the consoles to thank for that though.

The i7 920 is the new Q6600. still is a top end cpu and i bought it 2 years ago mate.

good mini review OP.

Sadly there are. There are also people who refuse to play games that don't run at 60fps, that don't make their rig cry, and that don't get 90%+ in reviews. Its one of the oddest kinds of eliteism ever.

sorry but there are specific genra's that if u play below 60fps your a jabroni.

60fps in a racing game is a no no so racing games its vital to have a consistent 60fps.

Arma 2 is coded like crap.

So every game that is not a console port and tried to push the boundaries of pc gaming graphically and game-play wise is coded like crap?

you sir are the prime reasons why we get console ports in the first place. so it can be played on your 10 year old pc with dumbed down gameplay.

Hasn't dropped in price though, lol. In fact, the nearest equivalent (i7 930) is more expensive now than the i7 920 was 18 months ago. :/
