Radeon 5850 and i3-2100 not a good combination ?

[johnthesmilers]

hi all... i have i3-2100 and h67 chipset and radeon 5850 graphic card....
so if you look to my system, does the cpu and gpu is a good combination...
because im planning to upgrade my system to z68 chipset....

do you think it's worth the upgrade...
the game that i played is dirt 2, f1 2010 and crysis 2....
and im doing little bit video rendering...

thank you all...
really need your advice cos i dont want my budget to be in vain when upgrading...

the 5850 and the i3 2100 make a great pair for gaming, dont worry,

why are you upgrading to z68? for the quick sync I am guessing? Other than that you won't see any improvements in gaming/ computing at all, and since you dont have a K version CPU you won't benefit from overclocking anyways.

yes for the quick sync.....

H67 has quicksync.

h67/h61-quicksync, igpu oc
p67-cpu oc
z68-quicksync, igpu oc, cpu oc

H67 has quicksync, but he can't use it with the discrete GPU plugged in.

 

[k1114]

He could just have 2 monitors and use both discrete and igpu.
