    Upgrading processor, looking for advice

    Unless by PC you refer to the motherboard, I haven't got a clue. Motherboard is the Micro-Star International CO.,LTD (Model MS-7376).

    Upgrading processor, looking for advice

    I think I'll go for the Intels then. Getting a better system now will spare me the trouble in the future. I'll just look for a motherboard compatible with 2500k or 3570k. Thanks to each of you for helping out with this :)

    Upgrading processor, looking for advice

    I'm planning to upgrade my processor since many games run rather slowly on my PC, but unfortunately haven't got the slightest idea what makes a processor good or how to see if it fits my motherboard or not and haven't been too succesful at googling it either. I was wondering if any folks around...

    Something wrong with Radeon 6850?

    That doesn't sound very risky nor bad to me. Thanks for sharing it. Well, I think all of my problems and questions have been taken care of. Big thanks to each and every one of you for taking the time to help me with this. Take care :)

    Something wrong with Radeon 6850?

    The patch disabling worked just great. The games I used to have lag in are all smooth now. Gained about 10FPS, depending on the game. Makes me wish I had known about it way earlier. You can really notice that it works on full speed though, at least when you listen to the noice it makes. But...

    Something wrong with Radeon 6850?

    Didn't even know there was a patch limiting it's performance. Thanks for showing that fix :) One question though: Can it cause damage to the CPU through, say, overheating? Tested it, games run sooo much smoother. Merry christmas to you as well! :)

    Something wrong with Radeon 6850?

    There's 4096M of RAM. A proper job removing them? Well, all I did was opened the driver menu and uninstall it. Don't think I did anything else about it. After I ran a CCleaner's registry clean: Settings Render: direct3d11 Mode: 1280x1024 4xAA fullscreen Shaders: high Textures...

    Something wrong with Radeon 6850?

    Already went through that. All seems to work as expected, I.E. the card underclocks (that's the word, right : p) itself when not being used and the uses full power when I'm gaming. And true, 68xx is inferior to 58xx. Not by much at least judging from what I've read in some reviews.

    I checked that nothing else was hogging it. I guess it was the CPU after all. Thanks everyone for clarifying that :)

    Something wrong with Radeon 6850?

    Before I had GeForce GTS 8800 and have recently upgraded to Sapphire Radeon 6850. At one point one of my friends who himself has the 5850 card came over and was shocked by how low FPS I had. He recommended me to have the card switched. Even though he does know bit about computers, I'd like a...

    Upgrading graphics card

    Hello. I'm planning to upgrade my old Geforce GTX 8800 to ATI Radeon HD 5850. I would like to know does the ATI card work on my motherboard. After looking around DXdiag a bit, I believe this is the motherboard: MICRO-STAR INTERANTIONAL CO.,LTD MS-7376 1.0 I've never bought any computer parts...
