Bottleneck

[Matt2889]

Ok well, as i play a lot of games and am looking to play Crysis and UT3 and pretty high settings, im wondering what my bottleneck is atm. System is:

GA-P35-DQ6
Q6600 @ 3.4GHZ (My own special cooling )
Diamond 2900XT 1GB GDDR4
4GB Corsair Value PC6400
Antec Quattro 850W
Raptor 36GB & 74GB

Any suggestions appriciated. Hi btw.

What problems are you experiencing?

 

[Matt2889]

Well theres not really any problems. Im jus hoping i can play the latest games (crysis etc.) on highest settings with no problems, and wondering what i can do to increase my performance, if needed.

Buy another 2900XT and crossfire your system.

What res is your monitor runnig at?

there's no way that spec will play anything newer than CS 1.6.

Oh no, wait a minute..

these "will my top-end-of-the-market-pc-play-new-games" threads make me lol.

Your bottleneck is your wallet.

Sometimes you've just got to air that willy out by waving it at everyone.

I wish i could but my mobo design is very flawed. I wont be able to fit another 2900XT if im using the SATA ports behind the slave PCI-E port.

Monitor is a BenQ FP91G+ with 8ms, and my res is 1280x1024.

Well im sure you guys could reccomend something more if need be, and my wallet is full of spiders tbh.

Ah, that would be the upgrade to make. Get yourself a decent 22" or 24" monitor. 1280 x 1024 paired with a high-end rig is inexcusable!

 

[Matt2889]

Never thoguht about monitor tbh, do i need some sort of HD monitor to get the most?


Matt.

A monitor with HDCP will work with DRM'd HD content like that off of HD-DVDs. Other than that no, a high-res monitor is a high-res monitor.
