A 4870 is bottlenecking it. You need more than one GPU or a better single GPU. It will scale along with the rest of your hardware.

What would you need then? A 5970 on normal to actually have the dual core CPU be a bottleneck? Dude i played it with a GTX 280, more powerful than a 4870 and more powerful than the card the TC is buying with a processor a good deal weaker than the TC's. I monitor my CPU usage when playing games, Metro almost never used more than 40% of the total processor's power. There is no need whatsoever for a quad in metro.

You'd need one or 2 5970's to remove the bottleneck.

Unless you want to play Metro 2033 or GTA 4.

I understand GTA 4.... But metro? That game didnt even use all of a low end c2d e4600, and didnt even get a frame drop while fraps recording. That game most definatly doesnt require a quad, it would probably be happy on a pentium 4.

It scales with more cores. And who games with a Pentium 4?!

Best of all time? Its a motherboard. And a Gigabyte 870A-UD3 has twice the features and more room for expansion. Don't see USB 3.0 or SATA 6 on the US2H. Only 5 SATA ports too.

Hey, gotta represent.

Maybe, but I have the same exact motherboard in my work system. Its sufficient and good value for the price. Besides, that was the only one I could buy that day.

Should have gotten a Phenom II x2 550 and have the ability to unlock it into essentially a Phenom II x4 940.

Assuming that works it still won't be as fast as a native quad.

Sounds right. GTA 4 needs a quad.

But it is just wrong. All unbalanced.

kaitanuvax

Maybe because it's one of the cheapest mobos around and also one of the best of all time. Long live US2H...

[QUOTE="eastsideboy"]

ferret-gamer

Your CPU is a good match for a 5770, if you really want to you can overclock it a bit.
