Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read this.
My specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4800+ Brisbane 2.51GHz 65nm
Mobo: Asus m2n SLI deluxe
GPU: XFX 8600GT XXX 256mb
Memory: 2GBs
OS: XP Pro SP3
I originally built this computer on a budget for general use as well as playing counter-strike 1.6 and WoW, which it did wonderfully.
However, Ive recently started playing BF: BC2. Although the game is quite playable, I have frame lag, especially during firefights at medium to low settings.
I know I'm a bit outdated, but I wanted to know how much of a difference a newer video card would make. Would my CPU bottleneck a PCIe 2.0 card too much?
