I just upgraded from an Sapphire ATI X1950 PRO to a BFG 8800GT OC (512mb vram) and I didn't get the performance increase that I was thinking I was going to get. After surfing the web I think that my CPU is a major bottleneck.
My system:
P4 3.0 Ghz
2 gb ram
Win Xp service pack 3
BFG 8800GT OC
22" Viewsonic monitor
In Crysis the game seems actually slower than before. I am getting like 7-10 fps a lot. Sometimes a bit more but certainly not playable. The weird thing is that when I set the game to LOW settings including screen resolution it still chugs. 20 FPS or so.
What is going on here?
Plan to upgrade soon to a ASUS SLI-Ready Motherboard and a Core 2 duo 8400 3.0 processor
