7800GTX CPU Limited?
Want to to a 'long lasting' upgrade and I'm reading this card is CPU limited (I run a A64 3500+) Any thoughts? Thank you! |

It depends on the game and/or resolution. A 3500+ seems fine to me.

This would depend entirely on what game you're playing. For older games you
definitely won't be CPU limited. Considering you've got an A64 3500+ it's hard to imagine your CPU would ever be the bottleneck -- especially if you play newer games at ultra-high detail and resolution. -- there is no .sig "Me" wrote in message ...

Highly possible, especially if you have an LCD monitor and are stuck at
1280x1024 maximum resolution. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."
