Hello, I want to know if my CPU is bottlenecking with my GPU. I have AMD 7750 x2 Processor running at 2.7 GHz on an Asus M3N78-VM with DDR2, 6BG memory and HD Radeon 5770, I had been playing WoW & SC2 in high setting with no problem till I got to SWTOR. I’ve setting the setting to low for swtor especially in WZ and its playable but not smooth. Should I upgrade my CPU, I am gamer (not hardcore) but would like play games somewhat smooth with a setting of medium or higher which I am custom to. Or do I need to rebuild everything? Also I’m not sure good to buy on a low-med budget. I have only known AMD.


I really appreciate any help
:D

surpriseingly , i too have athlon x2 7750 + hd6770 (which is equal to hd5770), and thus i can surely tell you that your cpu is bottleneck, even after overclocking it to 3.2ghz it is still a bottleneck.

Your board is a good one
so grab a
Phenom IIX4 955 3.2GHz,125W,rev.C3,SocketAM3,Quad-Core (look for black edition) only for ~125$
it will be a best match for your system and no need to buy any other thing.
