Hi All
I'm not very tech-savvy so would appreciate a bit of help. My PC uses an i7 870 along with an AMD Radeon 6950hd 2gb graphics card and 8gb of RAM. Nothing is overclocked and I don't intend to go down this route.
Up until now I've generally been able to play most games at pretty much maximum settings. However, I've just downloaded 'Batman: Arkham City' from Steam and this is the first game I've played where there is noticable slow-down when there is a lot happening on-screen.
My question is this: what is most likely to be causing this slow-down? The processor or the graphics card? Is there a rule of thumb I can apply to work out if it's time to upgrade my graphics card or if it's time to upgrade my processor?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers, Paul.
