Hello everyone, I am about to upgrade my computer from previous specifications to run a game called The Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Now I'm upgrading my motherboard to PCI-E and getting a new video card (since Oblivion is very graphically intensive).
The video card I'll be upgrading to is called the SAPHIRE Radeon X850XT 256 MB. The current socket 754 processor I have will stay the same, it's an AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8 Ghz processor.
Will this new Video Card be bottlenecked by my processor, if so, how badly? If I need to upgrade to see quite a bit of a performance increase, what should be suffient to keep from bottlenecking on most of the high-end video cards out today (and perhaps tomorrow)?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
