Hi guys,
I am pretty clueless when it comes to pc gaming, so am hoping for some straight up advice on what's best to do. I am currently playing BF4 on my PC (See specs below), but am struggling to run it on anything above med (even though its only on a 1280x1024 Monitor). I was able to play BF3 on ultra and it ran smoothly, but only by having the settings down to medium will it play like that on BF4. The auto settings puts it mostly on High though, but i get constant lag spikes if I use these, its playable but quite a poor FPS.
What I would like to know is, is it worth getting a 2nd GTX 460 and running them on SLI, or do I just upgrade the Card to something like the GTX 660?? another 460 is a cheap option (around £40 on ebay), but im not sure if that's going to make a massive difference? I am also concerned that the Q6600 is actually the problem and bottle necking it, so upgrading the card wont be worth it??
Specs -
Intel Core 2 Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
Motherboard - Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI
600w PSU - not sure of make/model
GTX 460 768mb
8Gb DDR2-1066 Ram (4 x Corsair CM2x2048-8500C5D)
19" Monitor at 1280x1024 (hoping to upgrade if its worth it), Or, can use 42" LG 3d Full HD TV, but haven't yet.
I appreciate any help/advice you can offer me before I waste money on either a 2nd card or a new one altogether?
Thanks
