Hi everyone
I'm in a bit of a dilemma about upgrading my graphic card. My PC is a P4 3GHz, 2.5GB RAM, currently equipped with a Radeon 1600 Pro 256MB. I'm considering buying a Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 512 MB GDDR3 AGP graphic card, but I wonder, is it worth it? Will I gain any considerable fps advantage in current games running under a P4?
Currently I get around 15fps@800*600 in Assassin's Creed with every option turned to it's lowest, and 10fps@640*480 at best in GTAIV also with every option at it's lowest.
Would I get any significant improvement in such titles? Could I for example get 30fps@800*600 in GTAIV with high settings?
I don't know how much a proper CPU weighs in current games' performance so I'm at a loss on whether to invest on a new graphic card or not.
Any input appreciated
Cheers
