    Is 2760 worth an upgrade from 2720 especially in games like sc2 where it is cpu heavy?

    I think he wants you to enable the turbo all the time.
    I don't think it worth it only for SC2 (ex protoss player).
    Even with you 2720 QM, you should have more than enought power to run it in very high settings, no ?
