price doesnt matter for now, i need a powerful processador to play newest games at very high performance..

thanks to all

Most games aren't limited by the processor. Once you already have a quad-core at that speed, spending more won't really improve performance. You should spend the money on a better graphics card - which one are you going for at present?

If you must get a better processor, the best performance in each price range above $200 is:

About $200 - Phenom II X4 920

About $235 - Phenom II X4 940

About $280 - Core 2 Quad Q9550

About $330 - Core 2 Quad Q9650

About $550 - Core i7 940

About $999 - Core i7 965

Anything else (over $200) isn't worth buying. But seriously, stick with the Phenom II X4 920 and upgrade your graphics card instead. The best is the GTX295 or HD4870 X2 depending on game and resolution.

 

saphire HD 4870 1 GB is the same as  HD4870 X2?, cause i'm going to buy that card

 



Nintendo is a constant in life. Nintendo is the place where you can always go to have a great time, whether that is alone or together with friends. Nintendo made dozens of all time classics which are more than just amazing games. Nintendo is a gaming company. Nintendo raised our sorry asses better than a parent ever could. Nintendo is a religion. Nintendo is what drove gaming forward and what continues to drive gaming forward. Nintendo saved gaming in the '80s. Nintendo is saving gaming again right now.

Nintendo IS the industry. Nintendo IS gaming. - BY RolStoppable
