Hey guys,
I would like to upgrade my pc to increase the performance. However, I am not quite sure what is bottlenecking my pc, what should I upgrade first?
Systems specs:
----------------------------------
01 - Operating System
----------------------------------
0101 - Operating System : Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.111118-2330)
0103 - BIOS : Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
0104 - Processor : AMD Phenom(tm) 9500 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
0105 - Memory : 6144MB RAM
0106 - Available OS Memory : 6142MB RAM
0107 - Page File : 1960MB used, 10322MB available
0108 - Windows Dir : C:\Windows
0109 - DirectX Version : DirectX 11
----------------------------------
02 - Processor
----------------------------------
0201 - Caption : AMD Phenom(tm) 9500 Quad-Core Processor x4 ~2200MHz
0202 - Current Clock Speed : 1100MHz
0203 - L1 Cache : 128,00 KB
0204 - L2 Cache : 512,00 KB
----------------------------------
03 - Video Adapter
----------------------------------
0301 - Card Name : ATI Radeon HD 4850
0302 - Manufacturer : Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
0303 - Chip Type : ATI display adapter (0x9442)
0306 - Display Memory : 3318 MB
0307 - AdapterRAM : 512,00 MB
----------------------------------
06 - Motherboard
----------------------------------
0601 - Model : NARRA3
0602 - Manufacturer : ASUSTek Computer INC.
It also says above that current clock speed is 1100 MHz, while processor is capable of doing 2200 MHz. Is this normal or are some settings wrong?
I think that the graphics card is what's slowing down the frame rate, so I presume I'll have to upgrade that first. I'm looking for components in mid-range budget.
What is your advice on this?
Thanks in advance!
