tl:dr; --> cpu bottlenecking performance(from what I know) specs below if you know what the issue is please suggest best course of action
Hello im trying to get help on an issue with my computer, first the problem.-->
Playing any game that is single player I will usually get great fps my video card is awesome nothing is usually a problem. I noticed when I bought gotham city imposters that my CPU (im assuming, and after reading this article http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/114642-13-performance-system-stuttering ) my cpu was bottlenecking my video card and my game performance. I got skyrim and it read my specs and suggested very high quality to play the game, certain things work great but heres the problem plain and simple from a newbie perspective.
(in my best phrasing)
my cpu cant handle alot of things, and it really struggles on multiplayer, the more things happening on screen the better chance I have to drop in fps which really bothers me. world of warcraft playing near ultra everythings fine, more players on screen the worse my performace gets and I cant do 25man raids with spell detail all the way up.
Skyrim in the caves when there is the foggy stuff performace drops when that is on the screen or the fire(s). (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uikAYmIiWiQ/Tt9diULrb1I/AAAAAAAABlc/8I4lSVU1GA0/s1600/skyrim-design-level.jpg --> those fires) so here are the specs
sapphire radeon 6950
amd phenom 965 black edition 3.4 ghz x4
msi 870a-g54 (motherboard)
1000 watt power suppy (power not an issue) my internet is not an issue i have >10mbps DL, and >4 mbps upload.
my friend said my motherboard and what I read, please tell me if I am wrong, is that it is limited to the phenom ii sockets. so im asking if there is a better phenom ii cpu I can upgrade to or if I can upgrade to an FX amd card (ex. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106009) or if I should replace my motherboard and cpu altogether. suggestions anything would be great. sorry its such a long explanation.
