What Are You Running?

[Manuel Kasko]

Chucked my settings on ultra and my 7950 seems to be sitting around 60fps
I do have a pretty decent i73770k though not sure if that helps a lot

[BrynDETT]

u cant just say that then not tell specs.... tis teasing haha

[Manuel Kasko]

Haha those are the only parts worth mentioning
The 7950 is OC to around 1200mhz
Didn't play with the voltage.

i7377k is just stock 3.5
and the cooling is just stock fans lol

power supply is antec 620 gamer

[RosieR34]

I'm thinking of getting the MSI GTX 780 Lightining. Should do the job for BF4 on Ultra with 2560x1440.

[JimmyRickard]

Are i7's worth the extra money over i5's for gaming?

Not OC'ing

[UNR33L]

I ended up buying a EVGA 780ti for this hehe +110 on the core and I'm laughing !

For future proofing I would say yes.

As seen with BF4, games are just going to get bigger and more demanding

[UNR33L]

Eh I run a i5 3570, the i7 is slightly faster but performance vs dollar value your better off spending what you save on a graphics card.

I mean they are good, but you do have to pay for it.

I was also planning on doing video editing and rendering etc so the i7 was my choice.

Not OC'ing

Nope. The extra threads are of little use to games. Save the cash and put it towards a better GPU. GPU is where it's at for gaming.

This is true, although I can't talk I have both the 4770k and 780ti.. overkill? nah.
