I have Athlon x2 4000+, and 8600GTS.
I currently get 25-30fps on GRID @1024x768, though older games like GTA San Andreas or FEAR run super smooth.
I am planning to upgrade to HD5770. Will I see substantial improvement in framerate even if I keep the current CPU? Can I expect to play games at 1920x1080? A friend asked me to upgrade the CPU to see real benefits of the card, but I have seen many recent games like R.U.S.E. still ask for Athlon x2 3600+ as system specs. So I am confused!
If the current CPU is insufficient, my motherboard supports till Phenom x4 9750, though at reduced transfer speed of 1000MT/s - will I get good rates there? (I am currently looking for that CPU now though I still can't seem to find it anywhere.)
Thanks
