ok so i can play games like bioshock, lost planet and oblivion with max settings with no problems at all with my cpu idling at about 45 degrees celsius. but the call of duty 4 and unreal tournament 3 demos have both made my cpu get real hot fast. after playing for a couple of min my cpu will go towards 60 degrees celsius and once even crashed my pc and im using optimal settings for these games. should i be worried and deal with this or maybe its jus because its a demo??? i have a amd x2 6000+ with stock heat sink and fan with a radeon x1950 pro and 2gb of ram running on xp pro and 630 watt psu. If i should deal with this wat would be the easiest and cheapest way of cooling down my cpu?
heres wat i got.
windows xp pro
amd athlon x2 6000+
sapphire x1950 pro 512 mb 256bit ddr3
2 gigs of patriot 667mhz ram
630 watt psu
just wanted to know before i actually go out and buy it. how good are would the framerates be on max?
also how future proof is my machine rite now?
[QUOTE="djseuung"]im looking at the radeon 2900xt cardsHiryuu_
The 2900XTs don't come in GDDR2 or 256MB flavor. Only 512MB GDDR3 and 1GB GDDR4, with the 512MB version being the far better value.
Maybe you meant the HD2600XTs? If so, get a 256MB version.
yeah. thats what im talking about the 2600xt ones. sorry for the mistake. also how big is the upgrade from 2600xt to 2900xt?
