Hi!
I just returned to playing TERA after a long break and I have to say, I'm disappointed in the relationship of my current PC and TERA.
I have a Phenom II X4 955 BE which isn't a top CPU in general, but the amount it struggles with TERA is beyond my darkest nightmares.
I know it's the CPU, because I have a HD6870 and changing the graphics preset in the game from 6(highest) to 1(lowest) gives me like +5 fps avg. (Which in fact is like 40% fps gain; from 10 to 14 that is. - Yes, when I'm not alone I have like 10 fps [MMO, hell yeah, be alone]).
As I mentioned, I just returned from a break and before, I had an i5-2500k. I'm not a hardware genius, but I know that the two can't even be compared in performance, but here I am, asking You if I should buy an FX-6300 (highest price I'd be willing to pay for an AMD) or an i5-2400(-ish) non-K CPU (short on money atm., maybe upgrading later...).
On the TERA forums I keep hearing that the game doesn't really like AMD CPUs, but my friend's PC with a 3rd gen i3 has higher fps with my vga in BF3, which is an AMD game. Strange. Now what...?
Are Vishera CPUs that much of a gain in performance for TERA (and gaming in general) that I should choose an FX-6300 over an i5-2400?
Thank you for your patience,
Martin

3.6GHz is the highest I could reach. Not that much, even in 3DMark.
