GTX 960 with Phenom II x4 945 is bottleneck, but in some games i have 99% GPU. In TR 2013 on Ultimate with SSAA i have 50% usage on CPU and GPU with 30FPS, also on LOW dont get 60fps lock ( drops to 40 ). is this a bottlenck or ?? 50% usage both and 27-30-40 FPS ??
so with this i can support 32 bit and 64 bit?
Is 3gb of ddr2 ram enough for this cpu or it is better to have 4-6? Thanks in advance :)
I was told the 945 has 95W TDP?
There were three versions of this chip. This particular one has a 125w tdp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Phenom_microprocessors
it was on 8..
now on 7…? why?
Now on 6 ;( ! But i have oc'ed mine to 3.8GHz and i have still 7 ^^
is it worth to upgrade mu cpu with this?
It is, but you should rather upgrade your graphics card for better gaming experience ;)
also, the best performance/cost phenoms in my area, and perhaps yours too, is the 955Black Edition or 965 Black edition, which are a bit stronger, so you should consider them. also, keep in mind you need a new motherboard for these
Mine came in a premade HP case and it was a 95w according to cpu-z. I didn't even know they made 125w.
Thats because you have new cpu revision, older ones had 125W
if i want to buy one how do I know if Im buying the 95w or 125w version?
nope, figured it out myself
hey bro, which phenom has the 95w tdp?
Just ordered this with new motherboard and ram. Can't wait. Gonna be a huge upgrade from my Pentium Dual Core E2160. :D
Congrats :)
Haha nice mate.. i upgraded from a crappy Athlon dual core in November to this CPU.. loving it :)
Just got all my parts yesterday. Loving it, so much faster than that dual core. Just need to upgrade my graphics card next :)
Anyone know why Core Temp is showing 0°C?
my cpu is 20% power better than this cpu :D
I'm thinking about getting a budget entry-level desktop for casual gaming.
What do you think about this deal?

Can I buy a Radeon HD 6670 for it?
Firstly say how much money you have?
My budget is fairly generous, up to $800 for everything including the monitor and Windows. However I'm only going to game occasionally so I'm trying to spend as little as possible and avoid wasting money on high-end parts.
Go for FX-4300 and for card HD7770, it is more futureproof than phenom and 6670
what monitor do you plan? if it have res more than 1600x900, go for HD7850
Can I put both the FX-4300 and the 7770 on the motherboard and case I linked to above? I know I will need to upgrade the power supply.
Should I go for the 6/8 core processors if I'm going to use this computer for more than gaming, but not intense rendering/editing?
1600x900 monitor is fine
