I have been playing a lot of starcraft 2 lately and in matches with more than two people(or ai) i get real bad slow downs. Not sure if its the cpu or video card.


Its definitely the CPU unfortunately. Like someone previously said RTS games tend to be cpu intensive.

Before i did my upgrade recently i was getting shitty FPS (under 30!!) in DOTA 2. I had a decent card 560ti, which should have gien me more than 100 FPS easily!

After just upgrading my CPU i then got those high FPS.

Aside from games being CPU intensive, you also need to remember that most gpu's are dependant on a good cpu. If you cpu is performing badly then this will have a major impact on a good gpu! I would say the major bottleneck in your system at the moment is your cpu and not your gpu
