Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a little advice. My current system is coming up on 3 years old now. I was wondering what sort of graphics card I could get before a bottleneck started to appear. I will list my specs below.
CPU- Q6600 @3.6Ghz
Ram - 4GB 1066Mhz Corsair Dominator
Mobo - Asus Maximus Formula
GPU - ATI Sapphire HD 3870
HDD - 2x Vertex 2E (Raid0)
I currently have a resolution of 1920x1200 and can play Call of duty MW2 and Black Ops on max resolution and high detail settings without any lag or stutter. I am relatively new to the gaming world and realise frames per second is an important factor in games. However I know my card is really old and there are so many better ones on the market.
I suppose I am asking, If I can currently play most games on high settings without any visible lag, how much of a benefit would it be to upgrade my Graphics card and secondly how high in the market could I go without creating a bottleneck?
I'm sure there will be a benefit and I hope some knowledeable person on here can educate me as to the differences I may see.
Thank's in advance for any helpful responses to my post.
