    i7 920 Bloomfield moving towards i7 4770k Haswell?

    I suppose my i7 920 works for now and I should wait for DDR4/Broadwell as I can play any game at 60 fps. I have this nice Qnix monitor than CAN be overclocked to 120 Hz but my current system can not reach 120 fps in BF4/BL2. I suppose I should get a second GPU and SLI my 780's before I...

    i7 920 Bloomfield moving towards i7 4770k Haswell?

    I guess the question is this(I know it is the future and nothing is known 100%, but I enjoy educated guesses): If 2x4GB DDR3 Ram runs everything I need it to run adequately now, do you think 2x8GB DDR4 Ram will make a huge impact in a year when available? If I can get away with DDR3 for 4-5...

    i7 920 Bloomfield moving towards i7 4770k Haswell?

    Will DDR4 make that big of a difference? I have read that 8 GB DDR3 RAM is adequate for gaming and is not a bottleneck. Do you believe that DDR4 will have a big impact on performance when it hits the market? I just wonder how long after DDR4 is released will Motherboards be released that...

    CPU Selection (My Internal Debate)

    Interesting information you presented. I thank you a lot because it confirms my belief. Even in the benchmarks the 4770k and 4670k perform almost identically with the 4770k having a slight advantage. I was more worried about whether I should wait for next gen Intel CPUs since my i7 920...
