If you are upgrading for just gaming an i7 will give no boost over an i5, but you will save $100 ona n i5 over an i7
Getting the i7 so I can utilize hyper-threading for streaming and recording game-play. Decided to knock $100 off the motherboard choice and get the i7 instead.

Error Code 9000? Been happening since launch. Think it's something to due with wireless internet, not 100% sure though.

Game runs pretty good on my AMD Thuban 1100t Black edition.
Curious though since this is a 6 core proc - if I wanted to migrate to intel, what's comperable and whats better right now?
You would need to upgrade/switch to the LGA 1155 socket and you'd see a performance gain with the i5 2500K which you can pick up for like $160 if you live near a micro center. I'm upgrading to an i7 3770K and if you did the same I'm sure you'd see a 35-70% increase in FPS.

Newsflash: CPU ability is not solely determined by clock speed.
It's been like this since the release of the Athlon. Actually, even before then, but to a lesser degree. Even if you OCed that 965 to 6GHz, I still don't think it'd be able to match an Ivy Bridge quad at 2.8GHz.
Oh thanks for telling me that! I'm an avid overclocking and PC gaming and I had NO idea that wasn't the only factor. I wasn't trying to point out that AMD CPUs were bad or anything. I literally thought the core clock-speed meant everything.

Go with an Intel CPU. Don't buy anything AMD. Unless you're on a very limited budget.

Sin. easy to play, viable on all 3 specs for pvp and pve, sprint, knock back, and many other.
but that is just my humble opinion.
Or you can just play melee OP and spam 3 melee attacks and kill people.

Had a guild mate say the same thing when he upgraded CPU.
Currently my CPU is what is holding me back but I don't have the cash to upgrade to anything decent
I have a Phenom 965 OC'd ro 4.0Ghz and it's stupid to see that a stock i5 2500k/3570k @ 3.4Ghz pulls about 20-40% more FPS.

I went afk in a WZ....
That was a random act of kindness for myself though, too many bads in that match.
-
Because SWG's space system brought in hundreds of thousands of players....oh wait..
-
Bads.

I'd keep the 6970 until the new line of GPUs come out. You won't get a $ worthy boost going from a 6970 to a 670. They should be out around January 2013.
AMD's new 8000 (8870 and 8950) series is supposed to be priced around $200-300 and have the same if not better performance as the 680/7970.

Yea online games and even some single like skyrim seem to be very CPU heavy, i never expected a cpu to make this much difference, old cpu benchmarks barely increased fps on games b 1-2 nowadays its the difference from a laggy 25 to a maxed out 90, well from now on im going intel and nvidia all the way, im still using a 6970 but im planning on upgrading to a GTX 670 at Christmas

SWTOR runs like crap. Anyone who defends SWTOR on this is just blatantly wrong.
In order to get max settings and stay about 60 fps you're going to need an Intel CPU (Turbo boost) and at least a 6870 or higher. AMD CPUs just don't cut it unless you have that thing overclocked 4.0GHz or higher.
My PC can run GW2 in crowded areas at full settings and maintain 50-70 FPS but in SWTOR with Shadows and AA turned down I'm lucky to get 30-50. SWTOR is just optimized very badly. Going to go ahead and blame it on the Hero Engine.
-
That's the point. If you want to jump in and get in peoples faces, you don't play a merc. Simple as that. Mercs stay back and support their teammates from range, as he was doing. The only problem with mercs is that they have inadequate tools to defend themselves once people start focusing them. That is what needs a buff, not the damage.
The reason they're squishy up close is because they do massive ranged damage. They don't need to be tanky. They're a ranged class.

NGE implemented: November 2005
SWG servers shut down: December 2011
Yep, killed it only 6 short years later.
-Macheath.
Anyone who played that game that wasn't a complete moron knew NGE killed that game.
Then SOE took advantage of SWG's remaining population and made TCG which had hundreds of rare items that collectors would easily spend real life money to obtain them.
-
How funny. SWG's NGE hit November 15th and it literally killed that game.

Ran into the most frustrating thing earlier in an Alderaan.
I spent 30 seconds trying to CC/Kill a Sniper that was preventing our 2, yes 2, DPS Sentinels from capping the point. Instead of helping me DPS him down then just kept spamming on the node trying to cap it while the Sniper just snared me and kited around throwing attacks out at them. It was literally nearly 30 seconds of that because my Force Push was almost back. I was so frustrated at that stupidity I think I said every vulgar word known by man in Vent. And because of that we lost the game.
10-0
Also, a lot of people just say it's just a game. Don't get mad at it. I don't really get mad at the game, I'm mad that there is someone out there in life that's too stupid to know how to play a simple game. It's mind boggling how much stupidity is out there in the world.

using an i5 and a gtx 580 nvidia and have around 90 - 120 fps all the time. no need for an i7.
Should have been more specific and said Intel. AMD CPUs are able to run with shadows on but you're going to be dipping into the 20-30s FPS wise.
-
Really? You really had to necro this?
Nearly 1.5k posts of people saying it wasn't OP then it got nerfed. And then the other specs getting a buff like suggested in this post. So yes, yes I did.
-
If you're going to restart the entire class story why not just make an alt?
Because leveling just through class quests takes like 1/1000th of the time than it does to level a complete new character.
New Character = PvE Gear, Crew Skills, PvP Gear, Credits, etc.
-
-
Yeah PvE is really hard....oh wait...
-
You need an i7 to run this game with shadows and get a decent amount of FPS.
AMD's CPUs just aren't cutting it anymore.
