Hey ya'll,
I know even the mighty 3850 is bottlnecked some by said cpu. My friend was gonna throw in a new psu and a 3850 agp in his older system. I forget I had a Nforce3 system in storage with said cpu and a Pci-E x16 slot so I just gave it to him.
He wants to wait for the next generation of Intel bad boyz before building a new pc. What do you gaming nuts think.............slap in an Msi OC 3850 or a 4850. Cost isn't an issue really. I know modern Cpu intensive games like Crysis will slow the vga down seriously but classics like Fear that use very little cpu should freaking fly with a 4850.
Thanks for your time.
