Basically I'm a huge gamer and love to play games on maximum settings as well as multitask with diff screens etc.
Currently running
2x 580,
SSD,
i7 920@ 3.7ghz
6gb Corsaid Dom ram
Asus p6x58d premium
Want to make sure that I can play games like Skyrim, BF3, SWTOR, etc at highest settings when released. I'm currently running at 1920x1080 resolution...I've noticed in WoW that in really crowded areas my fps tends to drop to around 45-50 even with 2x 580...can this be attributed at all to the cpu?
Anyway, my main question is...should I upgrade to x79 platform and grab a 3960 OR wait till Q2 2012 and get the Ivy Bridge processors...I feel I'm due for an update and want to make sure I get maximum performance in games/apps
Thanks in advanced!
