So I recently bought a Sapphire HD7870 GHz OC to replace my 9800gt and I was surprised when I actually got only mildly better if not worse FPS than my 9800gt on the same settings (med with a few things on high, no AA) I overclocked my Q6600 to 3ghz before getting the new card. I've been told that its most likely CPU bound, so I was wondering if I could have some other opinions? and if this is the case could somebody recommend a CPU/ram/mobo combo that will not bottleneck my gpu? I have about a $250NZD budget and I can go too 300 but I would prefer not to so I can have a bit for shipping.
It seems to work fine on other games on high or max although I imagine the fps is lower than it could be, I also have the latest drivers if that matters.
System specs:
CPU: C2Q Q6600 @ 3Ghz
RAM: 4Gb ddr2 800mhz
MoBo: Gigabyte EP31-DS3L
PSU: Corsair CX-600
