I'm the only one(maybe here) using core2quad for gaming. My rig:palit geForce 8600gt 256mb ddr3,2.50gb ram,vista ult sp1,intel dg33bu motherboard. Earlier i had a p4 but after upgrading to core2q Q6600 my gaming performance is increased very very much. So go for core2quad. now only a few games are powerful enough to utilize dual core. Think about the future where games will recommend 4core proccessor.

^^Lolz you see a big hike bcoz you changed ur CPU from a puny old P4. Now replace the Q6600 with a C2Duo E8400 and see the difference. The C2D performs better at today's game when compared to the Quad :p.

Then get 9600GT for 6K. But if you are happy with 1280x800, then get 9500GT for 3.3K. I don't think there is anything wrong with playing at 1280x800 on a 19" widescreen monitor. It wouldn't look bad. And since you are not a hardcore gamer,

^^Lowest option will be a HD4670 if you want mid-range gaming with med settings on that native resolution.

Better option will be 9500GT or 9600GT, unless you want a low power rig. But considering he has Pentium D, the most power hungry thing ever, you know what I mean...

No, for lower Power, HD4670 is a much better option, HD4650 even better, cuz the performance is same, but price is 0.6k less so is TDP

ANd aftr that comes the mighty and SUPER OCable 9600GT

GTA 4 ,NFS-UNDERGROUND,FARCRY are fully capable of utilizing the 4 cores ,FARCRY 2 used with 2 cores & 4 cores i see better in 4 cores

tested system - C2D E8400 for 2 cores & INTEL C2Q 9300 for 4 cores & AMD PHENOM X4 9550 .

C2Q 9300 superb speed and wonderful FPS and better gaming for FARCRY 2 , regarding AMD X4 9550 is good moderate not as speed as Q9300 ,but E8400 is equal to AMD X4 9550 but not when comparing the speed of the game and FPS i recommend to CORE2QUAD 9300 and above.

Corei7 processor are good performance in game handling , but dont purchase soon wait ! there is an issue of Overheating & performance break in the "NEHALEM" because of lack of motherboard Stable .When using the 4870X2 with the corei7 the system hangs the problem cannot be identified by the hardware test team . its a wonderful quad processor for gaming but bringing up the lot in to one single proc means should have many issues so dont buy at this time of launch wait for 2 months for complete USER REVIEWS.


Now....... the best buy for Gaming and Multitasking series is Intel core2quad q9550 ( 12MB L2cache,1333 fsb, 2.83Ghz, 45nm ) this processor is still handles with the corei7 almost its a very good future proof series available @ 17k

If u need budget Quad core means u can choose AMD PHENOM X4 9550 (2+2MB L2+L3 cache , 1800Ghz HT , 2.2Ghz , 65nm) this processor can handle Slightly better in games and multitasking , Can be as worthy quad core available @ 7K

:-? How does the CPU affect FPS for games if the GPU does the processing for games?
Click to expand...


from last one year that means from 2007 , the games are mostly based on the CPU & GPU based gaming system ,means higher graphical solution needs higher functionality so the processor add up the strain from the GPU giving the right to perform the game without the stuck and more over the multifunction in the games like CRYSIS,ASSASIN CREED , FARCRY @ etc... are some the games mostly take up the bandwidth of the CPU & GPU . thats what E8400/8500 are performing much better due to their excellent architecture designed to fast access in the Processing bandwidth to the GPU .
