Hey
Please move this if its not in the right section.
Last year I purchased a new rig with the following
Intel Core i7 920 D0 2.66
Asus P6T SE
OCZ Gold 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz
And this year I updated the gfx card to a Sapphire 5970 .
So I would think I could throw pretty much any game at that setup without overclocking ?
But in MP games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or Medal Of Honor I still getting slow downs and depending on what map , a bit of stuttering or flickering. I am running on 1920x1200 usually all settings maxed with AA at 4x and AF at 8x
I *thought* overclocking the CPU might help so I bumped it up to 3.7Ghz (stock 2.66) but this doesn't appear to have made any significant improvement. In fact, to my eye , it made no difference really to gameplay at all.
So is it just the card (5970) that is struggling to cope with the game ?
Would upgrading the RAM make any significant difference seeing as the motherboard can support it?
Thanks in advance
Martin
