I've been gaming for a few years now and I've upgraded my GPU twice (From GTX 260 -> ATi 6950 -> ATI 7950)
but something feels like something is not right. I lag/stutter most of the time even with this new GPU. CPU wise I couldn't OC it above 3.3GHZ no matter what I do, I decided to keep it to stock at the moment because I bought new rams (from 6GB to 16GB) and the clocks had to reset.
Although even though the time that my CPU is OC'ed to 3.3GHZ it feels like I still stutter from newer games even though I lower graphics settings to the point that quality is not affected but some effects are missing.
Is there something that bottlenecks my rig? I bought most of the parts from 2009. The newer ones are the GPU and the RAM only, the rest are old.
Games like Dota 2, LoL or some of the games that are DX9-10 are fine, but newer ones that uses DX11 like Bioshock infinite (on very high settings) and so on feels like its heavy or the FPS is not enough and/or random fps drops occur from time to time.
Is it time to change my CPU/mobo? or is it time to invest for some SSD?
