Think I might have to upgrade my CPU and video card this year. Metal Gear Solid Revengeance was a little choppy during that first boss fight. If a current gen game is giving me problems, those next gen games will definitely be worse.

Got a i5-3470K and a GTX 670.
See...posts like these bother me. Gtx 670 seemed like a card that would beast for awhile and you got a i5 too? Maybe I'm mistaken

So, what are our thoughts on this new Thief game? GMG has it for like $33 with their code :whew:

But I'm skeptical and RPS wasn't very impressed with their first impressions. I hope it's good, but I hate pre-ordering games without knowing how they will turn out. But $17 off? :lupe:

What resolution? I can't imagine the i5 being the problem, it might be the 670 if you are running it at 1080P+ cranked up to the max

You have to stop looking at PC gaming as a race to have the best of the best at all times. It's all about leaving your upgrade paths open and upgrading pieces from time to time. The 670 is a last gen card for nVidia right now...with the 800 series about to drop soon, making it 2 gens back.

If you are going Intel - Make sure you grab an Intel Socket 1150 with the Z87 chipset. If you are going AMD, I would probably bet on FM2+ Bolton D4.

AMD is about to replace the old AM3+ after MANY years being out there.

@2gunsup @daze23 @itsyoung!! and whoever else...

Microcenter is killing me with the prices on the i5 and i7 processors...is there ANY online store that has prices like that? Newegg has them marked up anywhere from $40-$60+ on each chip

That in store only BS SUCKS...

Do you got a Frys near you? Frys is 90% of the time even $10-20+ cheaper than microcenter let alone newegg. At the very least theyll price match microcenter

Frys is the GOAT of the past 2 years in the bay it aint even close really. Not too sure bout round where u live tho

I got it running at 1920x1080. I'm gonna mess around with a few settings that daze suggested earlier and see how it runs. Every other game I play has been flawless.
