    Around june-july i'll be overhauling my system again and with the "(postponed again..) release of the ivy bridge coming up I'm doubting what todo

    1 Profit from the lower priced sandy's
    2 Get an Ivy bridge due to better overall performance

    now I've read on several sites that the performance, gaming related, is only increased by a few percentage and since my system is used for 90% games only..

    what's your opinion about the upcoming release ?

    Here are some benchmarks of the Ivy Bridge.

    The Ivy Bridge cpu's are damn fast but only the onboard gpu has been tested.

    (I saw your xfire message, but i went offline to sleep, sorry )

    highly depends on what plattform you are right now.

    if you're already on a sandy bridge S1155 system, it's waste of money since the performance is only especially in game only slightly better and the power consumption is slightly lower. pretty useless since it only adds support for a few new interfaces like pcie 3.0, native intel sata 6gb/s, etc.

    if you're on the first generation Intel i5/i7 processors or even an AMD system, which is older than the bulldozer plattform, get the ivy bridge generation.

    ok, then it doesnt matter
    normally I'd say you should wait a few months after release (early adopter issues like bios, etc.), but you're going to buy in june/july anyway, so you can immediately adopt to the ivy bridge platform.

    Some info I dug up on the new Ivy bridge.

    Ivy Bridge is expected to offer a 20 percent overall performance boost over comparable Sandy Bridge CPUs on the processing side. A reworked internal GPU will produce 30 to 60 percent better overall graphics performance with DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 support. The 22nm chip will also support 4K video resolutions, meaning the GPU (and supporting monitor) can run a video stream at up to 4096 x 4096 pixels (known as 4Kx4K), a feat that Intel claims Ivy Bridge can do with ease thanks to their Multi-Format Codec Engine called MFX.
