I use to be a gamer and use to upgrade comp every 2 years but for last 3 or 4 years, i have not upgraded by CUP, Memory but recently i upgraded Graphics card as my 5770 got burned and had to buy a 280X Viper 3GB.
My current setup and issue background.
Phenom II 955BE - C2
CPU Cooler - H100i Corsair
Graphics card - 280X Viper 3GB
M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3
Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB x2 8GB 1333MHz CL9 DDR3 - Slot 1/3
Cooler Master CM 690 III
I am yet to overclock CPU. i heard, C3 can do 4+Ghz by c2 gets stuck at 3.8Ghz.. Is that true ?
I don't want to buy FX-8320 at the moment as i need to upgrade RAM, CUP and MOBO all at once and sine AMD Carrizo comes with DDR4 and new Intel DDR4 is coming.. i want to wait and get a decent setup as i am worried about Dx12 as well.
I am planning to play The Division, GTA V, FC3 and already playing FC3, Watch dogs and BF4..
My main problem is CPU. 955BE at 3.2Ghz not able to help me play at 1080p.. GTA IV, i get like 17FPS and ya its completely modded version and not stock GTA IV config. but its smooth as VGA is able to handle and CPU not able to.
Now the questions is... Overclocking AMD 955BE will do the trick ?? Can i overclock my RAM 1333 to 1600Mhz ??
Thanks Guys..
