 but my new i3 is even better than the 965 though it's only a dual core. I run it together with an EVGA GeForce GTX 550ti (factory overclocked) and CloD runs fluently.I had a Sapphire HD 6850 before and it's a good card but any 560 is better I think, here is a quick example http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-11.html Since I've played CloD with both AMD and Nvidia cards/CPU's it seems that Nvidia gives better performance. My i3 together with the GTX 550 runs CloD better than my "old" Phenom II 965BE with a HD 6850 did. The 6850's can be found for cheap right now so if you need to save money I say go for the 6850 but if you want better performance and can afford it buy a GTX 560. terveisin  P.S I wouldn't look too much at hwcompare, it only shows numbers not real testing on different games.

Hi
thanks addman for your advice. It is very important that one can get real life estimates of different hardware configurations and the performance with the game because numbers do not tell everything. In Finland we call it "perstuntuma" . GTX 560 sounds OK with me.It is difficult to find best 4-core for my mobo anymore (Phenom IIX4 970 for example) but as I said 6-core 1055T is available still and that most likely has enough power to feed GTX 560 and five me better performance with CoD than my current PC.

Hi karvis
If I was to replace my current graphics card, I would look at a HD7870 – it has slightly better in-game performance than my current one (from most reviews I’ve read), and uses a whopping 100W less power doing it. Don’t know what your price may be though. They have only just become available locally, priced at 350/250 Euros for the 7870/7850, which is a bit expensive, with the 7850 looking the most attractive . As robtek said, a 6950 should be in your price range if they are still available, and is a fair bit ahead of a 6850. The new 7850 should provide very similar performance to one of these. My previous 965 X4 gave good performance in CloD, particularly when I raised the ‘FSB’ to 225MHz (cpu at 3825MHz). This gave more performance than raising the multiplier on it’s own. I have no experience with the X6, but know that they are very ‘over-clockable’, so you should be able to do something similar (the one you refer to does not have an unlocked multiplier, IIRC).

Thanks TonyD for your comment. As I said I'm not an expert when estimating AMD's X4 or X6 performance when playing CoD but I think I'll still go for the 1055T. I'm going to use my PC also to other purposes where that 6-cores might be useful.
These new Radeons, HD7870 for example, are little bit over my planned budget for now but maybe later. Btw, this just like buying a new car: when you got to local car dealer and see the new models with a lot of nice features, you begin to rise your budget a bit by bit and soon you find yourself buying a car far more expensive as the original plan was (made with wife...). Thanks to everybody of your valuable comments!

You can look for 960T. If you plan upgrade only for gaming that one
will be better for you. It is the same chip like 10xx series, but with 1 or 2 malfunctional cores. Lot of them can be unlocked into full 6 core chip, but I'm note shure that your mobo can do that. 960T is easier to OC because it has unlocked multi, and runs cooler. If you are not planning a lot of 3D rendering that is a better choice and a cheaper IMO.
