Hi all,
I know this question has been asked a thousand times before, so my apologies for asking it again but after trawling various posts i still need a bit of help.
I have recently purchased an asus 6770 card for my htpc so that i could also use it for a bit of gaming. I am, for the most part very happy with the card however i am suspicious that my celeron E3300 cpu is limiting its performance in a few different games.
My specs are as follows and all running at stock speeds:
Celeron E3300 (2.5GHz)
Asus p5kPL-AM socket 775m/b
4g pc6400 ram
asus 6770 DC graphics card
400W power supply (this i know needs upgrading)
My max resolution i game at is 1366x768 - this won't change.
The most demanding games i am playing at the moment is dirt 3, crysis 2 and shogun 2.
So is it possible my cpu maxing out and limiting my graphics card for the above games, and if yes roughly by how much? could this be made up by overclocking the cpu?
And if it is what can people suggest as a replacement cpu so that it will be on par with the graphics card? I understand different games stress cpu or gpu more but something in the same ball park would be nice. Keeping in mind a socket775 m/b and a very limited budget.
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer, it is much appreciated.
