So, My current spec is in my sig..
I mainly use this rig for gaming with the latest titles (Stalker CS, Crysis etc.) and it doeas a very good job at my 22" monitors native 1680x1050 res.
Basically, I understand everything sems to struggle running Crysis on max settings but when I purchased Stalker CS I guess i was naive when i thought i would be able to max it with some AA (much needed on this game me
thinks!)
So a few questions...
1. If I upgrade the gpu (maybe a 4870) would my cpu bottleneck the system ?
2. Is it about time i upgraded the ageing E6300 ?
3. I plan to have the CPU and GPU upgraded by christmas, which way round would you do it (eg. gpu now, cpu later or vise versa)
And finally..
4. Where can I find out what products are round the corner from AMD (and ATI), Nvidia, Intel ?
I like to know whats coming before I decide wether i purchase or wait !
Sorry if this post is a bit long winded but havnt really been keeping up with everything since I built the pc around a yr ago.
thanks
