Draw distance depend's on gpu or cpu?

[Denis Stoikovski]

So on what does the view distance depends video card or processor?

 

[Rationale]

It can be either, depending on the game and how it handles LoD.

In Skyrim, for example, the LoD is GPU bound because nothing actually happens in the distance past 5 cells, it's just a big polygon sink.

Lol man i was asking for skyrim just didn't mentiong it 😀 so im with i5 3350p 8 ram 1600mhz gt 640 and on medium on 1440x900 i get solid 60 fps but when i max out the game i get 20-30 when i do it again all on ultra without draw distance i get 40-50 why? so my cpu is bad for skyrim?

GT 640 is bad

No, your CPU is good for Skyrim. It's your GT 640.
Like I said, the LoD in Skyrim is just a big mass of polygons that hits the GPU/graphics card really hard.

So im getting msi 770 twin frozr will i be able to max out the game then?

 

[chimera201]

Your system is quite unbalanced for Skyrim. For example this is a balanced build:

Yes. Make sure you have a good PSU

 

[Rationale]

So im getting msi 770 twin frozr will i be able to max out the game then?

Yes. The GTX 770 would max Skyrim easily. If it's mostly for Skyrim, a GTX 760 would also max it at 60+ fps. As chimera said, however, they do require a good PSU.

whats wrong with my system? the psu? il change it anything else?

That PSU will be fine for either a 770 or 760.

I'm pretty sure he was just talking about the graphics card, I think we was writing that before you mentioned getting a 770 and just happened to post it afterwards.

 

[chimera201]

The Corsair VS series is the worst of the Corsair lineup of PSUs. You need to find a quality PSU.
This will help you find a quality PSU:

For example, in the tomsHardware build i linked before they used a 450W PSU but that was a good one. You can try finding PSUs higher than 500W to be safe with the required PCIe connectors for the GPU you chose.

Yeah i was talking about the GT 640 with an i5

The link you posted showed the VS series as Tier 2 "still great units, all of which are still within standard ATX specifications " Higher than the Corsair CX or CS series.

The VS650 will be fine.

I think you saw CoolerMaster

Oh, you're right. Sorry. >_>

So here i am with 770 tf and vs 650w still in all games i have dips except for bf4 there is ultra msaa 4x 57-90 fps skyrim dips to 25 avg fps is 70 ultra far cry 3 70-80 fps ultra 4x aa but when there are more than 2 cars and 3-4 ppl the fps goes 46-50 wow tw2 dips to 52 avg 80,so my guessing is the cpu can't handle those games? Fc3 needs i7 2th gen for ultra.

w-why? Its working none of the both overheat.

He is with 550w psu it would be expectable,770 need at least 600w psu plus his i5 uses more watts than mine.

 

[chimera201]

The labeled wattage is the last thing to worry about a PSU
