Is this CPU good? - RadPig94 - 02.11.2011

I just want to replace the CPU in my computer, and I wanted something cheap and this is the only other one that fits on my motherboard

is this good enough Lite Gaming quality?

If you want to run new games like RoF or COD or crysis 2 and so on, NO!
Unless you like playing at low settings.
But for older games or lite gaming it would be fine.

I would recommend an AMD Phenom II X2 Black edition (from 3Ghz - 3.7Ghz)
I currently am using the 560 BE and i run CoD on Medium to High settings at
a resolution of 720p (only coz my gfx card is crap) This chip is still under $80
i think but you'd have to have a look around to find the best deals.

Hope you like

Rad,

That chip will be just fine for IL-2 and work decent for the other games mentioned. (Sorry Deutschmark).
You need to ensure that your M/B is an AM3 or AM3+ though.

If you do have an AM3+ compatible board, I'd save your money and look at the new AMD Fx series chips (8 core).
They were just released last month (Finally) and retail between $250.00 and $300.

My new system is running CLOD at max settings with over 75fps now. Granted I had to spend some cash to do it, but at least now I'm ready for when they get the darn thing working correctly.

S!

AMD Fx-8150 3.6ghz (4.2ghz on boost)
ASUS Crosshair V
32gb Corsair Vengence DDR3 Ram
2x Nvidia GTX 460's in SLI (2gb ram on each card)
