Could some kind souls please tell me:
Can I handle the new crysis?
Am i being bottlenecked and if so, what by?
If the above answer is yes, what are the best buys atm?
I had no doubts about my system until about a week ago. I can run Crysis 1 maxed out at 1280x1024 at around 50fps, as well as other demanding games such as far cry 2 and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series. However, on Battlefield bad company 2 with everything maxed I am achieving average frame rates of around 20fps and i also struggle with the latest total war games and even SCII when there is huge battle on screen.
I do not think i need to upgrade my GPU or motherboard, i am just concerned about my proccessor, please oh wise computer geniuses, help!
