    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    did you run at max settings ? tbh.... My 6570 could handle bf3 with med settings and no AA at 1366x768. 4 gb was not a problem then.

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    I have 4gb of system ram my budget is fixed with the gpu... No matter the price i'll have it. And for the psu+cpu i really have a tight budget. $ 50 + anything i can get by selling my e5400 and 6570 www.techpowerup.com/mobile/reviews/Gigabyte/HD_7770_OC/13.html i know it's insane but...

    Gpu selection

    Reviews are freaking me out. With the same card one goes to 1200/1450 (core/memory) from 1000/1125 mhz while others struggle at 1075/1250. Same for the oc editions

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    well sorry my mistake.... But benchmark shows 7770 can run demanding games on high settings even at 1080p with reasonable (30-40) fps. Shouldn't i expect the same in my res (may be a few tweaks and no AA) ? Although they use i7 xxxx cpu's.

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    okay... Firstly the core 2 duo is e7500 and the quad is e9550. My psu is 400w space, but i'll change it. And for multi threading idk what new games will be like. Crysis 3, gta v, metal gear revengence, dmc 5, bioshock .... These are the games i'll mainly play... So gta 5 might be a problem...

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    sorry my mistake, i meant the duo @ 2.93... Is this chip okay ? Or were you mentioning the quad. I can get the duo for free and quad would cost a little. Is it worth upgrading to quad ?

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    i can get a core 2 duo 2.93 ghz (stock speed) for free. But is a core 2 quad worth upgrading ? though it won't cost me much.

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    well i can't afford a 6850 neitger can i find a cheap one. And i've seen 7770 catch or outperform 6850 in tpu benchmarks.... Specially in crysis 2. Anyway what do you think of core 2 duo 2.93 ? What model is it ? E8XX ?

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    i have even seen people suggest 6850 for e5400/5500 XD and these pentium chips do overclock better. And btw, what was your m8's tv res ?

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    so those two and my dual core pentium at 3.8 (that's as high i can reach) will be pretty much the same ?

    Cpu upgrade for hd 7770

    even a core 2 quad at 3.0 + ghz ? And by smooth i mean an average 40 fps. But as you see with my 6570 i played ac3, blackops 2, most wanted 2, battlefield 3 at medium settings or high (no AA+shadow tweaks) and they ran pretty smooth like 35-40 fps average...
