Recently got a new job so I will be looking to upgrade some part of my pc. I was a total noob when I built the **** thing and looking back made a lot of bad choices.
Video Card: Nvidia 7900 GT KO
Processor: Intel Pentium D @ 3.4ghz.
Memory: 2 GB DDR 667mhz
I seem to be struggling with fps. I suppose it could be some kind of bottle neck with my hardware. I feel like my video card is definitely good enough to run CS:S on the lowest settings at 100fps or higher, but when I'm in a server it does not. Actually...when I run a video stress test with my settings on full I get 250fps or higher average. When I'm in a server full of people (10-20 people) with all of my video settings turned down my fps can drop as low as 30.
In a nut shell I wanted to know if my processor could be what is holding my PC back or if it's my video card. With my video card pushing close to 300fps on the stress test with full settings I'm a little confused. Is it even possible for a processor to affect fps? Thanks for reading.
