AMD 7850 2GB OC- Far Cry 3

[ninoasha]

So i asked a question on yahoo and got directed to here. Don't mind my english it's not my first language. So i bought i new GPU, i went from GTS 250 to SAPPHIRE HD 7850 OC 2GB GDDR5. As i saw that i couldn't run borderlands on any other setting that low and far cry 3 on medium i think. So i get the new card and see that almost nothing has changed, i can run far cry 3 on medium (4x msaa, if off i can get to very high, probably) 30-50 fps and it's still problematic.. People are saying that my CPU is bottlenecking and some say it isn't.. It is bottlenacking but the question is how much, i couldn't imagine that my quad core CPU bottlenecks my hard so badly. I will list my pc spec here, ty for the help:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66Ghz ~2.7GHz.
Memory: 4GB RAM
Board: P5QL PRO
OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7850 (sapphire 2GB, already bought OC)

Your processor is most likely bottlenecking your video card, and more ram wouldnt hurt either. Time for you to upgrade your system.

Hi

List PSU, and the total amps on the 12V rail.

Also, try overclocking your CPU a little, see if you can get a few more FPS from doing that. If you do, its certain its a CPU bottleneck.
