| disolitude said: What kind of framerates are you getting in Skyrim at max with that hardware? I used to have a Phenom X4 965 and I remember running it at 4.2 Ghz and not seeing much CPU bottlenecks. It did have a memory controller bottleneck that would kick in on some games. |
With the GT240 the game at max would just run at 10 to 15 fps. Configuring it to medium or close to high, I would got 30 fps, sometimes reaching 40. But that VGA wa horrible, specifically because of the DDR2 memory. With the GTX650, the game runs at max mostly at 60 fps, but sometimes it seems to go to 40 or 50 fps in more crowded areas.
I haven't yet looked for bottlenecks, since I bought the new video card two months ago and before that I wouldn't need to look much to find the culprit with that GT240. About the processor, it isn't overclocked (normal 3.2 GHz).
