HEY GUYZ!!! I just got the E5400 2.7GHz and WOW it gave me HUGE performance boost on every CPU-intensive title, and for mor GPU-intensive titles.....stuttering reduced DRAMATICALLY...for example..I had a stuttering problem in Call of Duty Modern warfare 2 adn Batman Arkham asylum now...ITS GONE!! and Crysis performs A LOT BETTER!!

LAST TIME:
1024x768 high-med-low
NOW:
1280x1024 HIGH and MED(only objects, game effects, post processing is medium)
😀

THNX ALL U GUYZ!!! especially Keiki646!
😀😀😀XD
 


Gratz! Enjoy your new cpu.



If you got any more questions about anything else, feel free to ask!
 
I just got but one question left.....ever since I had the E2180, there is this part in Crysis in the level called 'Assault' where I hav to destroy AAA guns and I come across a gas station and FPS goes REAL LOW...although its definitely a lot less dramatic now....ryt now it will go 24-27 FPS for like a few seconds...but its pretty annoying...my theory is either bcoz the sun instantly rises at that point or there are like 20 enemies there....anybody else experience dis?

Not really a big deal just asking😀
