    Cpu bottlenecking gfx card?

    well i get 50 fps inside of buildings typically and 40 fps outside, and the only time that it drops below 30 is if a massive barrel of oil or something explodes next to me and that brings it down to like 20 for a few seconds, but if im running it pretty well now then ill hold off on upgrading...
