Guys,
I need suggestion on the gaming performance ratio or dependencie.

I' am a Gamer as everyone here, All I want is to compare the gaming performance difference.

I have Abit IP35-E and transcend 2GB X2 DDr800.

I can oc this cpu E2160@3.2ghz with My CM hyper48 and Zebby 500 watts platinum.

however if performance is counted than how about E8400 against E2160 with above same difference.
 
hey in your signature it says E8400... if you already have a E8400 why do you want to know about a E2160
 
we are thinking of exchanging out 8400 and 2160 :P

if both of us have 8800gt, then how much diff in gaming can be expected for stuff like oblivion/crysis etc?
 
i dont think there will be a lot of performance drop if he overclocks the E2160 to around 3ghz + with good cooling :)

its just what i feel i am not sure...i am saying this on the basis that many new games are more GPU Intensive and require good amount of memory..any good dual core CPU above 2/ 2.5 ghz should be fine IMO..
 
^^^Very true..

Lol.. My celeron 420 overclocked to 2.8G + the 8800GTX handled most games like FEAR, Farcry, WIC, AOE3, LOTR:BFME, Bioshock w/o any hitch.. Even @ 1680x1050 with all the eye-candy turned on..

As Faheem quoted, most games are grafix intensive.. :)
 
Any processor clocked over 3ghz will not be bottle necking any game, but Cache size does matter. E2140 is 1mb thats 512k/core and E8400 has 6mb thats nearly 3mb/core, so there will be a performance difference in the range of 10 - 15% if not more. but it wont have a demeaning effect on the performance which u can measure with ur naked eye. :)
 
celeron 420 isnt the old celeron dude. .its quiet fast...and highly overclockable....perfect for some one who is buying a proccy with a upgrade to very high-end cpu sooner or later...

i guess thats what gannu did.
 
E2XXX @ 3.2Ghz = Conroe (4MB L2 cache Chips) 2.9GHz

But Penryn has added advantage of SSE4 (Future application will be accelerated) + 45nm + More L2 Cache, So 10% approx more gain over Conroe.

So E2160 @ 3.2GHz will give U performance equal to an E8200.

Now ma personal experience, I had E2140 @ 3.4GHz 24/7 chip, when I upgraded to to E6600 OCed @ 3.5GHz, in seconds I noticed huge difference in games like Gears of War and Crysis, maybe coz I have OCed 8800GT to above 700MHz.
 
in games cache size does matter a lot,also the 8400 can be oc'ed way beyond 2160's oc limit.if your graphics card isn't maxxed out then you can see a fps difference even between the 8400 and q6600,people with the GX2 find that 8400 yields them way more fps than a q6600.
i tried out crysis with my 3870 today with the cpu at diff. speeds and there was a 5fps difference by taking my 2140 from 2.66 to 3.2,which is a lot considering i went from 25 to 30:ohyeah: so if its crysis you gotta get the 8400,in other games it won't matter that much.
