I am probably going to get a ATI 3870 tonight but before I do I figured I'd ask, is my AMD Opteron 185 dual core 2.6GHz gonna be to slow or will it be alright?
Push the Opteron a little bit more (maybe 2.8ghz) and you might not see a bottleneck effect, but who cares, because most games are GPU consuming and you'll see a big jump
ok well I got the 3870... and what would cause it to perform as well if not worse then my 1900GT??? I think the only game I seen an improvement on was The Orange Box.
Hmm weird, for me fraps will always show a slightly slower frame rate then would occur if i didn't have it on in the background, as in it causes a tiny tiny bit of slow down. Luckily Supreme Commander has it's own FPS thing, press / and it will show you.
