I'm a pc gamer and since Battlefield 4 is out, and by playing the beta, I can play it on medium settings without that much lagg. (bf3 on high). So I would like to upgrade my pc to be able to play it on high/ultra. My PC specs:
- Nvidia Geforce GTX 460
- AMD Phenom II X4 820 2.80 GHz 64bit
- 6G of RAM
I bought the graphic card awhile ago and it helped my gaming a lot. But I know people who play bf3 on ultra with same card and I know it should, but I can't do it.
Is that because my processor can't keep up with my graphic card? If I buy new processor, does it improve my pc to be able to play games in higher detail? Also, if I buy new processor, do I need to buy better coolers as well? Atm its pretty loud when I play high end games.
Also, if I buy new processor, how do I know its compatible with my motherboard? :s The processor I am already checking out is: AMD FX-8350, AM3+, 4,0GHz, 8-core
Questions:
- Does buying a new processor help me play games in higher detail?
- How do I check is the new processor compatible with my motherboard?
- Do I need new coolers since my pc will be more powerful? (it said the processor package has a cpu cooler in it)
