[HLR619]

hello,

i am having an amd athlon 64x2 4000+ @ 2.1 ghz and 2gb 667mhz ddr2 ram.so my qstn. is
"will my cpu bottleneck an ATI RADEON hd 4670????????????"

Hello and welcome to the forums
It depends on the games/resolutions that you play but your CPU will definitely bottleneck a 4670 in most games(especially CPU limited ones)

 

[wa1]

Yes your CPU will bottleneck HD4670...
Maybe a little OC will help you a lot...

 

[HLR619]

well, i will mostly play at 1024x768 or 1280x1024 resolution.and i have an msi-7309 mobo so theres no OC option in its BIOS.is there any other way to overclock my cpu????is my current specs enough to play all the latest games at medium settings?????????????

 

[Maziar]

You'll be fine with medium settings.
An alternate way to OC is with softwares which isn't recommended because it may make your system unstable.

 

[HLR619]

so can i play gamez like BFBC2,GTA4,FAR CRY2,AC2,ARKHAM ASYLUM etc. on medium or medium-low settings with my current rig??????????

 

[HLR619]

with atleast 30 fps and above??????

 

[wa1]

No...
GTA4 and Batman are bad coded games...

BFBC2 is demanding game.

You must get your CPU to 3.0GHz to get a decent setting...

well,i don't know about gta 4 but i was able to play batman AA on my rig at 800x600 with everything on low with a 6150se.i have even ran games like prototype ,transformers2,bionic commando with my rig.though they were not playable.so don't you think an hd 4670 will give me playable framerates at 1024x768 with medium settings.if not then can you suggest me a reliable software to OC my 2.1 ghz CPU?????

 

[wa1]

Are you sure there's no option in BIOS to OC your CPU?
Well, i don't know any software that gives you the feature to OC CPU...

I guess you can get a decent playable framerate at 1024x768 with med setting, but not at 1280x1024.

 

[HLR619]

O.K THANKS.well u guys reply pretty quickly.

 

[Maziar]

GTA 4 is poorly optimized as wa1 said, so you have to play it on low settings,however for batman, definitely download its patch,it will give you a good boost in performance and improves the FPS, so you can play it fine on medium-low settings.

Maybe try AMD Overdrive to OC your chip...

The "?" key appeared to be stuck, unless there was another reason for the excessive punctuation?
