I would like to know if my cpu is holding back my gpu in games. i have an amd a6 3650 @2.6 ghz quad core and a 550ti. the reason that i am asking is because i am getting lower frames in crysis 1 than i am in crysis 2 on max settings and i know that crysis 1 is cpu intensive. i am running a resolution of 1024 x 768 (i know it sucks :( ) that why i can run max settings.
how much ram do you have
8 gigs
Yes, it is a rather low end CPU by todays standards, but your GPU is not that great either. But for now, the CPU is the weak link, but if you consider upgrade in the near future, best to swap them both out.
this summer when i get back to america i will be getting haswell and a 1080p monitor :)
if you want you can swap out your cpu for a a8 since it's the same socket
