I've been meaning to upgrade from my old HD 4850 to something in the range of a 7850 2GB but Im almost sure that my FX-4100 will be a bottleneck. To fix the problem I was wondering to do a small multiplier overclock to the FX-4100, but I'm not sure how much of an overclock I would need to make the 4100 up to par with a 7850 and will it require an aftermarket heatsink/fan?
I was thinking I would up the multiplier to get something around 4Ghz and maybe higher the core voltage to 1.000V? I'm still a newbie at OC'ing and Im not very familiar with fsb overclocks but I will look into it if its necessary.
System specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte M68MT-S2
CPU: AMD FX-4100 3.6ghz (stock fan)
GPU: HD-4850
RAM: 1x4 DDR3 1333Mhz
PSU: Crusade 750W Dual-Rail High Efficiency '80 Plus' Power Supply
I only really play games, such as Bioshock infinite, Dues Ex Human Revolution, Batman Arkham City, Portal 2, Planetside 2, Witcher 2, Fallout New Vegas etc. I want to play these games in 1920x 1080 at medium/high settings if possible. When I upgrade my GPU Ill be getting another 4GB of ram.
In a 3 hour prime95 Blend torture test I get 51c average at 3.6Ghz with stock fan.
Any help will be appreciated.
