can you please post your source on that, about SB getting double fps in battlefield than a 775 quad? bad company 2 i presume.

Sorry to say, but that statement is false. The framerate is virtually identical. At that level, you're GPU limited. Even with an HD 6990 or GTX 590, you're still going to have some limitations. There's no doubt that an i7 2600k is faster than a Phenom II X4 @ 4Ghz or a similar Core 2 Quad, but when you're arguing that a faster CPU will benefit the gaming experience, in this case, I just don't see how that can be possible. I mean, even when the CPU is the limitation at 1024x768, BC2 is still chucking out 90+ FPS on a Phenom II quad core. As soon as you move up one more level to 1280x1024 or 1600x900, the CPU is no longer an issue. Would anyone here seriously consider that a bad thing?

Those tests were done with a GTX 580, too. No way that thing could be considered a bottleneck.

This is on multi player http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1592732

Time to upgrade your cpu? Not saying either of your links is incorrect although the first one is a canned benchmark. The multi player is more cpu intensive.
You be the judge.
