    Thinking about Upgrading, Is it Worth it?

    My i7930@4.2 had been going strong for the last few years but I've been thinking about upgrading due to that I've been playing Planetside 2 exclusively recently, which is very cpu dependent. Sandy & Ivy haven't been worth it, do you guys think Haswell will be worth the $$$ to upgrade? or should I wait & save for another year or two to really get my money's worth.


    P.S. Gotta love the x58!

    unless you want the lower voltage or better overclocking you wont see any change for games. the only things that will have a large difference are things that use the integrated task scheduler.

    Nothing in terms of gaming performance increase? Looks like I'll be on x58 for another year or two then, Thanks!
