Phenom II X4 910 vs i7-980 - Need For Speed: Payback GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q - Game Performance Benchmarks

Unlocking phenom ii x4 910 to phenom ii x6I heard that some phenom ii x4 cpus like the 960t can be unlocked to phenom ii x6.Can a phenom ii x4 910 be unlocked as well with the right motherboard?

The only Phenom II CPU that can be unlocked to a 6 core is the 960T, Your CPU is pretty much stuck at what it is unfortunately.

Phenom ii x4 910 and R9 270XI have a friend with a pre-built PC he got for very cheap. He wants to play Fallout 4 when it comes out, but his current GPU is very old and definitely won't handle it. I have a spare r9 270x and 500w power supply I could give to him to boost his performance. However, I am worried the CPU is not good enough, and he will experience FPS drops and such. Obviously, Fallout 4 isn't out yet, so there's no way to know for sure (although they do state a slightly more powerful, Phenom ii x4 945 as minimum req.). In summary, can a Phenom ii x4 910 CPU handle any modern games when paired with a decent GPU?

i use a phenom x4 9750 paired with a r7 240 and i can play most tiltles on low or medium settings. your cpu is an AM3 socket and mines is AM2+ your cpu is one generation ahead of mines so in therory it should be able to handle fallout 4 on maybe medium settings UPDATE: your system probarly uses DD3 memory, mines uses DDR2 so i think youll be able to play it

Athlon IIx4 605e VS. Phenom IIx4 910eFor a difference of about $50 in price (Athlon $80, Phenom $130), the Athlon IIx4 seems like a good upgrade, but it lacks L3 Cache. The Phenom IIx4 however has 6mb L3 cache. What is the advantage of the Phenom IIx4 over the Athlon IIx4? Thank You
