Running ancient hardware
MB: ASRock 880G Pro 3 Here
GPU: Gigabyte HD6850-OC 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5 Here
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz (OC'd to 4.0GHz) Here
RAM: HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin 1600 (running at 1600) Here
PS: 850W Xclio Here
Running on two Acer X223 @ 1680*1050 Here
I can run most games above medium. When I try to record using OBS, MSI Afterburner, LoiLo, etc, I of course get skipped frames and choppy gameplay.
With this old setup, would a new HD 7870 GHz (Here) be bottle-necked too badly? I cannot afford a CPU, GPU and 16GB ram combo. I just want opinions if throwing a better GPU would help with recording sessions, or with old components, would it be throwing money down the drain?
Thanks in advance.
