Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
Are we approaching a Solo Raid WoW Experience?
Void Elf starting pet?
MMO-Champion
SWTOR
Skyrim
BF3
Dead Island
Here is my info
Windows 7 64 bit.
AMD Phenom II x2 511 processor (2CPUs), ~3.4 ghz.
5120 MB RAM.
AMD Radeon HD 6790 HI5,
I'm thinking about upgrading the video card, maybe the processer. I'd like to run everything around medium with 30+ fps but i'm not sure if this machine can handle it. Thanks!
(Also maybe you can recommend a video card or processor for semi-cheap)

Alrighty... I'm confused by a few things here. Aside from that you should upgrade your CPU long before your graphics card (Idealy something along the lines of a Phenom x4 955 BE or so- if you want to stick to AMD), how are you at 5 GB of RAM? 3 RAM sticks? If so, it may well be better to remove the 1 GB RAM stick, as it will allow the remaining 4 GB to operate better.
Some info on your motherboard would be helpful
CPU is going to hurt you in most (if not all) of these games. That's just my $0.02.

Or option 3
-Xfire two 6790's.
The 6870 has quite a lot more power than the 6870, meaning that if you did not have a graphics card to begin with it would be suggested.
If you want to upgrade your CPU, you can use the same board and use this CPU. (Other versions of it are factory overclocked but cost more.)Last edited by Arslay; 2011-09-05 at 02:52 PM.
