Hello all,
I think that it is about time I do an upgrade in the display category. The problem is, that I don't know if my monitor or my GPU is holding me back. Which ever it is, will be the first to be replaced.
Here is my system:
Mobo: Biostar TA790GXE
CPU: Phenom II X4 945 OC to 3.9 GHz
RAM: G Skill 2x2GB 5-5-5-15 1066 (currently at 533 MHz, because anything higher causes instability)
GPU: PNY GTS 250
PSU: OCZ 700W ModXtream
Monitor: Acer L22W 1680 x 1050 (this monitor is ~4 years old)
I primarily use my system for gaming (WoW). For those who know the game, my FPS is ~25, with all video options maxed and enabled (except for Death Effect) while standing still in Stormwind. Ideally, I'd like to have my FPS at 60+, standing in Stormwind. And in case it matters, I have the latest drivers for all of my hardware.
