Hello, to start my specs are
AMD phII 955 @3.2
Asus m3a78-t mobo
Ocz fatal1ty 8gb DDR2 mem
WD caviar black 1tb
Sapphire 5970 2gb
Eyefinity3 @ 5760x1080 resolution
I've been debating on switching from my amd 955 to an intel i7 930. My pc is strictly for gaming. I am only concerned about playing at max settings with the highest framerates possible (like most gamers). I play on an eyefinity setup so I understand that is a lot of resolution to push. My main game is WoW. In dal I am currently getting around 32 fps around alot of people which makes me think my CPU is bottlenecking everything else. I am NOT into overclocking AT ALL. I have googled benchmarks for both cpu's amd it seems the i7 takes the cake but how much will it actually improve my fps in a game. (most benches look good on paper but fair different in real world use). I'm hoping a person with some great expertise in these matters can point me in the right direction. Thanks alot.
