All right, I would call that extremely too. Skyrim at 1920x1080 actually does seem to benefit from putting more money into the CPU than GPU. But we don't know if it would be worth it to go above a Core i5-2500K and spend another $100 for a Core i7. It might give us a bigger performance increase to use those $100 and go from say a Radeon 7850 to a Radeon 7950 (or a Geforce GTX 660 to a GTX 670), especially if you want to play a graphics modded Skyrim or in higher resolutions. |
I am going to take this challenge on and test Skyrim on a Phenom X4 and i5 with a GTX 670.
