Intel Pentium G645 2.9 Ghz vs Intel Core2Duo 2.2 Ghz E4500 ?

[ahujasahil]

Hello,

I am about to sell my old 07' Intell E4500 2.2ghz and buy a Pentium Dual Core 2.9 Ghz G645.

Which CPU is better in terms of speed and medium end gaming? Please Help..

Intel Pentium G645 is a better cpu, though, i recommend going with at least a pentium G860 (it's not much price difference between the two).
Or if you can afford, an i3-3220.

Hi, Thank you for responding...

I stay in India (not sure where you are from) our capital's wholesale market is serving G 630, G 645 only for dual core and than i3s.. 540, 2120 & 3220.

I would love to buy a 3220 (3rd Gen) It goes a little over budget for now but I'l start saving for it.

Would I be able to play Battlefield 3 , AC 3 , COD B.OPS II in low/medium settings {considering rest of my hardware is sufficient for the game} ???

The intel pentium G645 gets it's job done, it all depends on what graphic card you'll have.

Ok my system config is ...

H61M-DS2 Gigabyte - Mobo
Intel G645 2.9 Ghz - CPU
4 Gb Corsair - RAM
500 GB Samsung - HDD
Nvidia GT9500 1 GB - G.Card

Now, Should I have any issues with BF3 , AC 3 , COD BOP II ?? (Low/Med Setting ?)

You need a much better graphic card than the 9500gt, at least a 6670 amd (low/720p) or a 7750 amd(recommended).
Lowest requirements for a card nowadays : 550ti, 560 gtx se, 6850, 7750, 650 gtx.

 

[ahujasahil]

I would definitely get a better card , but just in case if I don't are you implying to the fact that I wouldn't be able to play those games at low/med settings ??

Add a little more specificity please...

 

[djangoringo]

No, you'll not get with a 9500gt playable fps even with low resolutions (i mean really low like 800x600).
Those games requires a minimum : 8800GTS/9800GT for nvidia cards.
A 9500gt is far worse than those old cards.

Thank you, just before we close this thread I have 1 last question from you..

If I change to say a 6670 ATI tommorow , the G645 Processor would support me and I can get playable FPS for "ALL" these games right ?

 

[djangoringo]

Yes, at least on low @720p.

Thank you.
