Basically, I was just curious if my graphics card (1GB HD4890) is being bottlenecked by my other system components.
PC specs:
Mobo: Asus P5LD2-X
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.2Ghz
RAM: 2GB (667 Mhz, not upgraded mobo and RAM for a long time )
GPU: XFX 1GB HD4890
OS: XP SP2
I play alot of games, Prototype, Assassin's Creed, CoD4, WoW, etc...
I have the graphics settings on highest in all games (including AA)
In CoD4 my FPS is hitting 200 constantly (I set 200 as max btw) but, drops to 90 at some points in the map, and keep getting random lag spikes...
So I were curious whether it's any of the following:
1) My mobo needs upgrading to one with a PCI-E 2.0 socket (current board doesn't have one and graphics card is in a PCI-E 16x slot)
2) My CPU is doing it?
3) My RAM is doing it?
4) None of the above? And if so, what's the reason?
Thanks in advance, will appreciate any help.
