Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I am currently looking to upgrade my PC to increase its gaming performance but I am confused on which direction to take in order to get the most out of my computer and my money.
I currently have an AMD x6 1090t 6 core @ 3.3 ghz processor and a Sapphire AMD Radeon 6950 2gb graphics card. I also have 8gb gskill ripjaw RAM. I play games at 1920x1080
I do not currently have a SSD.
I am looking to buy something to increase gaming performance only and have considered buying another 6950 to do x-fire. However, I am afraid that my processor will bottleneck these cards. So basically what I was wondering is if just buying another processor/mobo will be more beneficial. When I bought this PC I wasn't aware of how weak my processor was compared to similar intel products.
Between adding a new 6950 or buying a new mobo/cpu, what will give me the biggest performance boost, and how big will this boost be??
Thanks for your time.
