Solution W W wdmfiber Sep 25, 2013 Your fine, that CPU isn't great; but most games are heavily GPU dependent. You could drop in AMD's new Hawaii GPU if you wanted too. Besides, you could build a new FX 8350 rig and still bottleneck vs. an i7. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fx-8350-core-i7-3770k-gaming-bottleneck,3407-9.html But depending on your old GPU, if your getting a big boost in fps. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. I'll be upgrading from a Geforce gt 640 so it would more then likely be a pretty big jump in performance. Upvote 0 Downvote
