Runs games like crud. No more than 20FPS on Bad Company 2 (funny enough I can have it at 1920x1080, everything on High, and CSAA 32x with AAF 16x, or everything on medium and it performs the same give or take 5 fps). Same deal with Crysis. Set everything I can on high @ 1920 and its 20FPS city, lowering detail and everything else makes it 25FPS.
Runs SC2 terribly as well.
Runs Mass Effect 2 like a dream with 32xAA and 16xMSAA Transparency though.
I am very confused.
Is it time to upgrade? What should I upgrade? For which parts?
Or is there a wrench in the works?
Any and all help/comments are welcome.
Been a fan of this site for many years, love reading these forums and the articles. Only site I actually trust for this sort of thing.
/Sub-cat for CPU because my spidey-sense says its that or the PSU. Sorry if in wrong sub-section.
