Hi I just upgraded my gpu without yet upgrading my cpu/ram and I know the ram is bad but i want to know how bad they are actually bottlenecking my gpu.
I took some benchmarks on unigine heaven and while I was benchmarking my cpu never even went past 50% but people told me that it would bottleneck my gpu. So is my cpu actually bottlenecking and if so, how bad? I'm waiting until Christmas to upgrade my ram and cpu so is my rig ok to run games on high-ultra settings until December?
Gpu: Asus r9 280x top (overclocked 1230coreclock 1650memoryclock)
Cpu: Intel core 2 quad q8300
Ram: 4 x 2gb ddr2 400mhz
Unigine Heaven 4.0
Fps: 50.4
Score: 1268
API: Direct3D11
Quality: Ultra
Tessallation: Extreme
AA: x8
Resolution: 1280x1024 Fullscreen (i use it because it's the highest I can get 75hz on.-.)
Also how much does ram speed really matter in gaming performance? Like how much of a performance increase can i expect if I were to upgrade the ram alone?
