Hi Huys.
Is This Proc And GPU Botlleneck?
Sometimes Lag A Bit When Playing Games.
Is It The Proc Too "Cikai" Cannot Catch Up The 4870?

Yes it is, but its very very little and no need to worry la.. Anyway, it cannot really be seen by our rough eyes

Since already got it so no regret. Enjoy till end of it then get new pc then. I think ur pc still can handle most games in market atm.. just not in highest setting.

Just my point of view ^^

little bit i think
mine intel e7300 3.3Ghz + HD4830 700/1105

how to overcome? o.c a bit say 3.0ghz??

If it lags while playing games then get a 5870. That would resolve the problem.

then dun forget buy i7 combo with evga from claw..sure i come ur home ts.

let say oc abit, then post back here whether it solve ur problem or not. else listen to claw. HD5870 (but i think bottle neck too)

Haha, I think he's playing newer games which requires a higher processing power to generate playable fps. My friend has a E8400 with 4870X2 and it's very powerful, no problems at all Hence, the GPU matters a lot if you're gaming. There might be bottleneck but for example you might be getting 50FPS with E8400 but upgrading to i7 will gain you a few fps extra depending on the resolution. The difference is not a lot so what matters most here is still, the GPU itself

Overclock the cpu helps alot ... Especially CPU demanding games . Get a new cooler and the E5200 should easily hit 3.3-3.4Ghz.

Use your camera to record your lagging games, upload to Rapidshare and let us see what you mean. E5200 + HD4670 on our sets here never lag. But of course we OC our E5200's kaw kaw, even faster than some quad core machines.

Its 4870 bro..not 4670..
plus,1GB version..

my sapphire 4830 + X2 550BE no lag even at Full HD on certain games!...

maybe HDD lag?

what game and what resolution?
look at my sig specs, some games can bring my rig to its knees.

there is a common way to test if there any bottleneck.

1) cpu clock set at stock setting, use fraps to record a game fps.
2) overclock the cpu, use fraps to record the same game fps.

if there any noticeable different, that means there is cpu bottleneck.

tumpang thread
mine E2220 (2.4@2.6 1Mb) + 4870 512MB - consider bottleneck?

any good gain if i go for i3 520 2.9 oced a little + 4870?

tq

definately go for the i3.. it has newer technology

yalah new technology - any idea big improvement or so-so only? u all sifu shud hav some idea
[previously i run e2220+9600gt then upgrade to 4870, now thinking moving to i3 or phenom II (limited budget)]

go for i3 la bro..
