Hey all,
Recently upgraded a part in my pc being the graphics card from a 9800gtx and a GTX460 and well tbh i dont see much difference.. im not sure whats going on with my rig but all my games are the same its like i have the 9800gtx in there..
anywayz i have the "Gigabyte GTX 460 1gb Overclocked Edition" i heard bout this card on Tomshardware and was 2010s Recommended buy so i went out and got it and yeh with the performance im not really happy with it i was expecting a huge change and nothing much really different still laggy choppy etc. ive got the latest drivers reformatted defragged cleaned up pc scanned for everything viruses /spyware. monitored my GPU and CPU temps and they are normal. heres the rest of my rig.
Mobo : EP43-UD3L
CPU : Intel Core2 duo E6550 2.33Ghz
GPU : Gigabyte GTX 460 1gb Overclocked Edition
PSU : Corsair TX 850w
RAM : DDR2 Kingston 800MHz
and 1 WD HDD.
Also i know for a fact that power is not a problem. 850w easy enough to power this card.
the only other possible explanation as to why both cards are performing horribly could be the fact that the cpu could be bottle necking both my cards. The cpu is very old.
I have overclocked my cpu from 2.33GHZ to 2.67GHz. also i experienced all these frames issues before i had overclocked my cpu. im thinking of upgrading my cpu to the Intel Core2 Quad Q9505 2.83GHZ. I have a question though because i have clocked my cpu from 2.33 to 2.67 and the problem still remained will get a quad core cpu help my card and would it still bottleneck my card?
Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Cheers
