techPowerUp! Forums - View Single Post - i5 750 stock versus overclock in gaming? Question for enthusiast and overclocker...

Thx for a fast answer....

I'm hoping I might max out Hitman @4ghz, as You can see from the stats, if my minimal fps wouldn't be going under 30fps (I think it might be playable that way for me, since it's not a first person shooter game). So I already have like 28-29 average. Maybe overclock @4ghz will also raise the bottom 24 minimum fps to 30...

I was asking about SLI with i5 @4ghz is it a good idea at all?

If I have average fps on Metro or Hitman under 30, how less fps would I be getting with my i5 in SLI instead of somebody with new ivy bridge processor? 10-20-30%?

I mean i find it better to get one more gpu instead of buying a whole new motherboard and cpu...the cost is even less...right? And I would get better graphical performance that way.
