OK so basically, in august i am going to have to send of various bits and pieces of my computer to be RMA'd, and i need a computer to do my work on and maybe a bit of gaming.
I only have one 'decent' (*ahem*) PC other than the one in my sig, which has: CPU, Motherboard, HDD, RAM etc, but no GPU.
So what i am going to have to do is use the GPU and PSU from my gaming rig in this old computer...
The temporary specs will be:
Intel Pentium D 3.00GHz
Asus P5VD2-MX SE
2GB DDR2 533MHz
250GB SATA HDD
+
GTX480
700W ModXstream Pro
What kind of performance should i expect from this?
Extreme bottlenecking of the GPU by the rest of the specs is a dead cert, but what will happen if i try and play some 'not too demanding' games like fallout and oblivion etc..?
I have never experienced extreme bottlenecking, so i do not know what this is like.
