IS my CPU holding back my video card?

apples017 · Aug 9, 2009

Video card is ASUS 8800gts 320mb

CPU is amd 4600+

If my cpu was faster will my card have more to give? Is there anyway to test this?

Nah, I think they're about even; 8600GTS's are pretty weak BTW.

woops, using an 8.9 inch screen lol.

Are those the g92 core 8800GTS's?
If so, there's definitely a bottleneck there, I believe.

best way to test would be to OC your CPU and see if there is a pretty large increase in FPS =]

I have posted on a few forums now and the thougt is that yes bottle neck.

How do I overclock? Hmmm.

Is it just, go into BIOS and increase voltage?

No. You increase the CPU FSB. On your 4600+ you just increase. well here.
