Cpu with the 8800 gts
- Thread starter Winnter
- Start date
running at max resolution for that screen it should be ok...but it will definitely be CPU limited.
Swapping the CPU out for a dual core and OCing a bit will help a lot....or at least overclocking your current 3500 to 2.6+

Also make sure your power supply is capable of handling the card and the case has adequate space and airflow.
A 7900 GS / X1950 Pro would not be bottlenecked much but a 8800 xxx will be yes. You'll still get decent performance out of it but ideally you need something along the lines of an overclocked C2D E6300/6400 or 6600/6700 etc.
