Yo wont notice jack of difference if your LGA 775 was OCed to 3.6 or above. My BF3 1080ps 8xCSAA 16xAF high detail, vsync on , game details Ultra tweaked, FPS is locked @ 60fps never goes down below 55fps ,,, once in a while goes to 51 percent for a split second,,,,,,,,
The CPU usage is 65 percent AVG.
The CPU usage on a Sandy would be 35 percent.
Pointless upgrade... Wait until a 8 core 16 thread desktop comes out man your fine.....gl
If you're talking about single player frame rates, then I nor do most of us really care. The multiplayer portion of the game is very CPU demanding in large servers.
