If u run more then 1 thing while gaming or plan to play games that take advantage of multi core chips, then a 1090t is your best bet.

If your looking at playing battlefield 3 for example, my system in my sig @ 1920x1080 in high detail mode I was gettin 57 fps on average & 81 max.

i went from an x4 to an x6 and it was a big boost in every department so +1 for a 1090t

and terry what settings are you running? im at ultra at 1680x1050 and get between 35 and 50 average and 90 max with 24 lowest.

I'm not convinced you will see a big gain over the 965. I don't believe many games are able to use more then 4 cores these days, does anyone know otherwise?

Not sure if you will be playing bf3, but if so, check out this article.

Agreed. LINK. For gaming 4 cores is all you need. If you do anything that is CPU intensive and threaded, or if you plan to keep it for a long time, then go for the 1090. Otherwise go for the 965 (personally I would save the $15 and get a 955 and just OC it).

yes i plan to play bf3 and most modern games that are on the market and i want to be able to keep the cpu for a farly long time. and wat would be my best choice with the cpu a 6950 1gb or a gtx 560 to twin frozr ii oc ?

thanks,
