I just got a 7950 but I'm a little underwhelmed at the performance on high detail. I've recently developed an appreciation for playing games at high framerates, and I'm looking to maximize FPS while still keeping the details on high.
I'm wondering if I'm being CPU limited, or if the old memory I'm using also is an issue.
One game I've been playing is Planetside 2, which is heavily CPU limited.
Over the coming year, I'll be playing Company of Heroes 2, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Metro, etc.. Basically all the usual hit games this year.
I also play games at 1920x1200.
Would upgrading my CPU help? This would mean I'd also be picking up a new motherboard and memory to go with it. Which is also nice since this means I can finally make use of the higher rated SATA on my drives, and USB 3.0 for transferring all these large animation files between work and home.
