hd4850 performance

i have a hd4850, and im wondering what kind of performance people have been getting out of it. specifically in crysis and world in conflict, and other recent games.

i have a pentium 4 3.4ghz processor, so i am wondering what my card will do with a better processor. i am gonna upgrade, probably to a e8400 when i have the money.

thanks

haha ye i thought it would. i only play games at 1024x768 resolution. and i have had crysis running on mostly medium with some high settings pretty well. the only problem i have with getting a new processor is i will probably need a new motherboard, and therefore a new case :( and i have very little money.

the fsb on my motherboard is 800mhz i think. would that greatly restrict the performance of a e8400?stu464

P4 motherboards do not support dual core processors. You are going to have to most likely upgrade your CPU, MOBO and RAM.
