Not as good as a x5650 overclocked to 4.4ghz, no reason to go with a 920 when the x5650 is available for £8 and has 2 more cores and will do much better in games.
I remember the old I7 920
Used to have mine at 4ghz though
But doubt it compares very well against even lower end cpus now
Isn't there aThanks everyone I do have the D0 at the moment - it plays my current games pretty well (ARMA3/Battlefront2/Dirt Rally 2/Fall out 4/Project cars 2/Elite/Red dead redemption) with a 770. I am getting a 1660 super tomorrow to put some meat on the textures in Red dead, even if it is at 30fps and maybe push high/ultra in Arma3 at ultra 60fps.
My question was more around in judging game performance (always nice to get 60fps on my 1920x1200 with best poss settings) when I look at game recommended specs for some of the games on the horizon for example Cyberpunk which I am dubious about with this CPU and also when considering buying recent games like BF5.
Its not that I wouldn't like to spash .5k on a Ryzen setup but I am hoping to hold out for a couple of years and then go all out for 1440p/144mhz setup. It's not like there are a que of super gaming titles stacked up that I know of to force the hardware issue anyhows.
Fair enoughYes tried that but didn't fancy running the executable and prefer a more subjective discussion!
Yes - thanks Mcnumpty2323

Well done MR OBVIOUS, of course a 920 DO @ 3.6Ghz wont be as good in games as an x5650 clocked @4.4Ghz. It dosn't answer the OP's question though does it ? Let us all see your 3D Mark Vantage results, because of course you can still post them, it will let the OP get a more varied result to make a decision.
Yes YouTube is great place to see split screen comparisonsYes you are right
I think I will have to feel my own way around getting a bit more value out of this CPU/mobo/RAM setup
The below video has been quite useful

I like to keep things until they stop doing what I want them to do
Thanks kitfit1 for the heads up. I am thinking the majority of PC users out there are in a similar position in running older gear, I will have to hope the sheep herd protection lasts a bit longer! Is there any specific info you could show me that would help me understand the vulnerabilities?
Will have a look at the CPU suggestion Joxeon- thank you
I'm just giving the guy some advice as he may not know a CPU with 2 more cores than his 920 is obtainable for as little as 8 quid and overclocked high enough can drive a gtx 1080 which is a far more powerful card than he's getting. The benchmark you posted tells him nothing other than a 3950x is better then his CPU which I'm sure he was already aware of.
