My first post on this forum, I will try to be as thorough as I can.
My rig is as follows:
ASUS M5A97
8GB Corsair DDR3
AMD 8 core FX black edition Core clock 3.1 (slightly OC 3.7)
OCZ Modxstream-pro 700w
Radeon HD 6870 1GB
My questions are kind of all over the place. But if the forums are nice to me, I am confident my questions can be answered.
1) With this set up I was assured my rig was "very nice", And I could play anything on max settings.
Witcher 2 has teriible framerate on ultra, Tribes: Ascend has bad pop up, and the game I built this computer for, Diablo 3, Must be toned down to play.
2) My GPU drivers are all up to date, I have extensively tweaked and played with all the sliders in the catalyst. And I can play everything I want to play. Yet I feel like I am missing something in the settings that I am possibly missing to get the best out of this set up. This computer should run Diablo 3 on max no propblem.
3) I guess my question is should I have bought a beefier card for my gaming tastes, or is there some small thing I am missing in settings that could make the difference I desire?
Coming up with money for the very enticing HD7870 is a little ways off. I just spent 1500 Bucks on this set up. (including a Samsung 24" LED monitor, and HP laser printer)
Any help would be very nice. I will check back tomorrow. And if you have questions from me, ask away.
Thanks in advance,
humble computerNo0b
