[QUOTE="n00bspank"]

I have been playing Company of Heroes with DX10 with resolution 1650x1080 all settings at max including the DX10-only "Ultra" setting where available, Direct3D 10 shader quality, and 8x antialiasing. It is playable at what I would judge to be about 30fps but not ideal. Anyway I was wondering what would be the bottleneck in my system that prevents higher frames in this game.

system specs are as follows:

Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz processor

6GB (3x2) DDR2 1066 triple channel memory

Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256bit GDDR5

I would say DDR2 but i7s have low FSBs. Mobo? PSU?

Crap sorry it is DDR3 memory. My motherboard is listed in my signature if that matters... don't see How PSU could affect anything but it is a PC Power & Cooling 750W

So it just poor optomization on the game you think?

I wonder, even though my processor is quad core, the clock speed is not super high, so could overclocking help?

You should try out Warcraft III The Frozen Throne.Link3301

Although this is a good game, most have been playing it for 6 years so you will not standa chance in multiplay with out much practice.

Just sayin'...

if you want to play Starcraft a lot

Huge community, you will get owned badly in the beginning though.

Edit: noobspank is so very wrong, modern games have almost more stupid AI then Starcraft ...
