Hi, I recently replaced my hd 4850 512mb with a gtx460 768mb (did a full driversweep) well I get better fps but when things get really intense in for example cod4 and mass effect2 the fps drops down to like 20-25 in mass effect and 18-20 in cod4, most other games run fine but even if I get alot more fps it feels a little jerky.

My other components are quite old and I belive that thats could be the problem.

System spec
Cpu: intel e5200 @ 2.5 ghz
ram: 4gb ddr2 800mhz
motherboard: msi p6ngm-fd
psu: corsair 550w
and ofc the gtx460



I´m using the 258. 96 drivers
I have tried the new beta drivers but didnt notice any improvment

Ps. srry for my bad english ;D

I play at 1680x1050, in cod I have an average of 60 - 90, and in mass effect its like 50 - 60 all settings are at max exept that i dont have AA or AF enabled in any of the games.

Yeah, So would a new cpu do the trick? I was actully planning to buy a new motherboard,cpu and ram as my motherboard does not support ram in dualchannel mode
 
A good CPU should do the trick, so if you are planning on replacing it then just make sure you get something that's worthwhile as opposed to getting a low end CPU with a view to OC'ing it in an attempt to achieving big boy performance.

well the thing is that I am a musican/studing so I don have that much of an income but I was looking at two upgrading packgages
first one for aprox 2000 skr about 200 bucks alittle less http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=604570

second one aprox 350 bucks http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=495976

If I buy the first one I can get at least 4gb ram more but its a amd x3 445 and thats like low/midrange I think but maby its enough?

The second one has an i5 and quad so its alot better? but would the x3 be enough? I Just want to be able to play me2 with good performance and Mafia 2 and bfbc2 at like medium but whitout monster fps drops
