Hi,

So I currently have an AMD Phenom II x6 1055T at stock speed, 2.8ghz, along with a single OC’d GTX 560 Ti by EVGA. I thought this would for sure be good enough on high settings with good FPS, but apparently not. With everything on high and FXAA off, I’m getting ~25-30 FPS at Lion’s Arch, yet I see people with Intel processors get 60 easily with a 560 Ti.

I was considering switching to an i5 2500k, which is pretty much the best gaming CPU, but that would require switching my mobo and reinstalling drivers, and that’s too big of a hassle.

So if I were to upgrade my 1055 to a Phenom x4 965, would that increase my FPS by much? Since I’ve also seen videos of people with 965’s and 560 Ti’s run at 60.
