Hello, folks!
I was chugging along with my Palit HD4850 Sonic 512MB paired with my OCd Intel E5200 @ 3.5Ghz when I suddenly won a Gigabyte HD5850 1GB OC card in an internet contest. I'm a budget gamer and uses a 23" 1080p LCD monitor.
I know my E5200 is not that powerful, but how bottenecked am I really? I mostly play FPS, racing games and my son likes RTS. OCing to 3.5Ghz really helps in games.
If I OC to 4Ghz can I still chug along?
