Hello everyone. My current CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Core OC'ed at 2.34ghz and I saw on a site that it is actually rated at 4.2ghz.
I've recently played Overlord 2, a game that requires minimum of Pentium D 3.2 and recomended core 2 duo, and i'm able to run it at medium to high, with only a few options disabled such as water reflections, motion blur and particle density at 6/8. Yet the game runs very good and visuals are well above my expectations at 1024x768 and 25-30fps.
I'm aware that my GPU carries the CPU a bit, but to what extent?
So is the rated 4.2ghz true? Does it run like a pentium 4 at 4.2ghz?
My PC components are:
Mobo: A8n-E
Cpu: athlon 64 3200+
gpu: 8600gt
ram: 1gb dualchannel
