hello everyone, i recenlty purchaed a galaxy gtx 470, to replace my litte 9300ge, i am able to now max out all my games like, crysis, far cry 2, just cause 2, and supreme commander 2, but i'm only averaging about 30 fps on all my games except supreme commander which averages 60. what i was trying to figure out was if my e7400 @ 2.8ghz was limting my 470, or if i was asking to much of it, i game at 1600x900, but i put the games on max settings with everything turned up to the max like AA, since i thought my resolution wouldnt be to demanding. I lowered the setting on the games and re-ran some tests and got about 20+ fps,( i ment 20+ to the already 20-30 fps, so with lower setting i was getting more fps, sorry for the confusion) on mostly all the games with lower settings.
Heres my question, is my core 2 duo limiting my gpu or do i have to much eye candy on?
and would i see an increase if i upgraded the cpu to q9550?
System
core 2 duo e7400 @ 2.8(unable to overclock since this an hp)
