Hello everyone!
I have a Core2Quad Q9300, 2.5 GHz with 4GB DDR3 RAM and NVidia GT 440 graphic card. (a dell precision T3400 with ram increased and graphic card added). I have a couple of questions about it.
1. Is my graphic card a bottleneck? If yes how far can I go to upgrade , in Nvidia or ATI cards, before it becomes more than my cpu can handle?
2. In applications programmed for quad cores e.g Battlefield3 or Bad Company 2, will my quad core perform better than a dual core corei3, say the 2100K, if the graphic card, ram etc were the same for both?
Thanks in advance.
