am i bottlenecked?
I have an ASUS P5K-SE with a:
Kentsfield Q6600 2.66 GHz OC'd to 3.01 GHz. Very stable but I think my video card might be limiting my frame rates and overall performance when gaming. I'd like to get a little more fluidity with my graphics. Will upgrading to a 9800 GT smoothen things out or am I already maxed out for what my video can deliver with the 8600GT? Thanks for any suggestions VIDEO CARD: nVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT GPU Clock (Geometric Domain) 540 MHz (original: 540 MHz) GPU Clock (Shader Domain) 1188 MHz (original: 1188 MHz) Memory Clock 301 MHz (original: 300 MHz) CPU: CPU Clock 2002.3 MHz (original: 2400 MHz) CPU Multiplier 6x CPU FSB 333.7 MHz (original: 266 MHz, overclock: 25%) Memory Bus 400.5 MHz DRAM:FSB Ratio 12:10 CPU Cache L1 Code Cache 32 KB per core L1 Data Cache 32 KB per core L2 Cache 2x 4 MB (On-Die, ECC, ASC, Full-Speed) Motherboard Properties Motherboard ID 64-1402-000001-00101111-062509-Bearlake$A0807000_BIOS DATE: 06/25/09 18:27:51 VER: 08.00.12 Motherboard Name Asus P5K SE (2 PCI, 3 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN) Chipset Properties Motherboard Chipset Intel Bearlake P35 Memory Timings 6-6-6-18 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) Command Rate (CR) 2T DIMM1: Samsung M3 78T2863QZS-CF7 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400 MHz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) DIMM2: Samsung M3 78T2863QZS-CF7 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400 MHz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) DIMM3: Samsung M3 78T2863QZS-CF7 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400 MHz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) DIMM4: Samsung M3 78T2863QZS-CF7 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400 MHz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) |
