Everytime I see someone post they still have a 2500k I get excited.
Probably the best chip I ever owned and it has amazing OC potential.
405 and 4.6 ghz should be easy.

Got my GTX 970 AMP! today .... GPU is not all in mwo ... no matter if i set my settings to low or very high, i have around 30 FPS on non Invasion (didnt get any Invasion match today)
But the 30 FPS are stable and rarly go under it. I even can shadowplay with 30 FPS.
Looks like i need to replace some other old parts too...
Motherboard: ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO/U3S6 (only have pci-e 2.0 not 3.0 that the GTX 970 use)
Cpu: AMD Phenom II X4 955 125W (C3) Black Edition, 4x 3.20GHz (overclocked to 3.5)
old Sata Harddrive
only 8 GB DDR3 RAM (some noname not realy good ones)
Such a nice GPU and all other games running ultrasmooth but Mwo stuck on 30 FPS ... *sadface*

It's very much CPU>GPU in MWO and Intel>AMD, if AMD, OC to 4.5GHz+ is a must, if not then Switch to Intel.

Running at 4.4GHZ now is sweet. High runs well averaging about 50, but dipping to the mid 30's during stressful times.
Staying cool with a max temp of 60C.
Will wait for the 960 and try it on ultra.

Hey RazarG, - if you're running in Medium settings, turn your particles, shadows, and shading down to low and watch the FPS go up.

Im sure the 970 is really nice, but outta my price range. So you think id prob gain from from a CPU OC rather than a new GPU?
W8 for the 960 and or an AMD card counter to the 9series of NV with Maxwell tech.
On the CPU side - oc the damn 2500k
