AMD processor for gaming purposes

I agree, anything below 50 I have some lag. I definitely try to stay above 60 as well.

I find usually that if a game, like BFBC2, runs at around 45 FPS i have no probs, When i have a game like dragon age which ran at 30 FPS most of the time on my HD4670 I would notice some lag i think this is due to the FPS dropping for like a micro second, this could be for a variety of reasons, this is not reflected on something like fraps, but does appear to the naked eye, hence meaning that you get some lag and if it does this a lot your fps reporter may not report it but your eye notices it.
Go to admit though it was fine most of the time, good little card the HD4670.
 
Kinda funny, but yea, the more FPS you have, the smoother it will appear, espically when your interacting with it, sure it may not be as obvious in some situations as others and sometimes a good framerate might be under 30FPS, secondlife for example takes OODLES of hardware to hit 30 or above...with my setup with most settings *up there* i get about 25 in a good crowd of folks, alone...i push about 50 but scenerios of good...hell they vary from game to game.
 
No, your system is not *up there*, its getting punished by the low powered CPU. Try and play Flight Sim X on max resolution and settings with texture packs and you will get about 10FPS.

The rules is anything less than 30FPS is essentially unplayable. Especially for first person shooters. Anything less than 60FPS is not ideal.

You aim for 60FPS, and modify settings in the application to suit your hardware to get there. Too frequently people do it the other way around. They change the game settings and see the FPS drop.

Ammend the game settings to the highest settings you can manage at the given resolution at 60FPS.
 
2500k is much better bang for the buck gaming CPU, and even beats the 2600k often because HT actually hurts sometimes when you already have 4 cores.
