You can't go back in time and change anything.

The OP did what he did and now has to deal with whats going on right now.

No biggy.

didnt i tell you to get a matching pair of hd for your 160 and raid it?? didnt i say its the hard drive that is the major bottle neck in the entire system?? If that isnt a reason and advice then i dont know what is

BTW im still laughing at wreckages comment.

I told you to get a console instead. Have you done that yet? It would solve all your problems.

You never followed half of the advice that was given to you and you never provided us with an actual problem. Instead you gave us some vague notion that your system "lags" on single player games. When asked to provide videos, you never did--and if you finally did everyone had already gotten tired of you ignoring their advice and waiting for you to show evidence of a problem.

If you can't get help from this forum, don't post here. Simple as that. You don't need to go around complaining about how you can't read and follow instructions.

I followed all the advice. Mention one advice that I didn't follow. Agreed I didn't show the screenies, but that is irrelevant for I had already done that on anyother forum and I have myself seen high fps.

First, you weren't asking a question that related to a problem that needed fixing. Your CPU does not bottleneck your GPU. Look at all those charts I posted. Your fine. Stop worrying about it.

If you are really having that much trouble with it you might want to find someone with more experience with computers to try and fix it because he/she might have a better idea of whats going on.

Third, please ask direct questions. If you ask does my CPU bottleneck a X1900XTX you'll probably just get no and nothing else. If you want more, ask for it.

Fourth, try to stop acting like an idiot. When someone gives you advice, take it, try it out, and provide feedback.

Few weeks back people were after me that my CPU was bottlenecking my GPU. Now few days back people were against me when I said that a 1900XTX would bottleneck a P4 3.4GHz which is actually equal to slower than my CPU for gaming.

I have added a poll. Please tell me whether my CPU bottlenecks my card or not.

CPU: AMD 64 3200 Winchester

GPU: Radeon X1900XTX


dear god your so stupid you can't even figure out how to add a poll. please stop using your rig. sell the parts, and buy a DELL (or since you live in india ask any local computer maker you want FULLY LOADED COMPUTER )

And since most games require video processor pwr more greatly over cpu power i highly doubt your cpu is bottle necking. However, if you noticed that great of a increase in performance after overclocking, it might be your processor, but the reason why the game runs faster is because when you boosted your FSB, you also boosted your ram timing times unless u used a divider, and you quite possibly could of boosted your PCI-E bus frequency.


If anything is bottle necking look at your hard drive and concider raiding it. Hard drive technology is the most ancient thing in the computer life line. Were still on magnetic plates, something thats been around since the pre - 1980's. And even at full SATAII speeds, the IO rates are still snails compared to the processing rates and IO rates of RAM.

Think of it this way, if u run 3dmark with CPU rendering vs GPU, even the most highly overclocked cpu will still only pull off sub 15 fps.

Id get a hd to pair your 160gb, raid0 it, wait til xmas when conroe priceses settle down a bit, and then upgrade then.

man is your sarcasm meter broken.

I'm guessing the problem exists somewhere between your chair and the keyboard.

I second that idea, get a console!

Slight bottleneck in CPU intensive games, but you'll probably never notice it while playing.

Please provide a link to the above mentioned forum so that those of us who are sincerely interested in your progress can view the screenies. I am surprised that you have even been able to seen high fps. I am truly ashamed that my fellow forum members aren't pointing out what you obviously need to fix this problem. Until you switch to This you will be stuck with the bottleneck, don't let them kid you.

I really think the bottleneck is Akshayt's head, it's blocking vital functions of his ass...maybe if he removed his head from his ass the bottleneck would dissappear.

but to answer his vague question, yes the 3200+ would be a very minor bottleneck..however overclocking it to 2.4/2.6ghz would probably remove the bottleneck to some extent, however the 1900XTX is fast enougth so it shouldn't really be held back by an A64 at all even if it is a lowly 3200+ winnie.

It depends on the game. 6X AA will kill your performance in FEAR (probably wouldn't perform so hot in PREY either). 4X AA is more reasonable for most games with that CPU.

I read your threads on that other forum & they might as well have been cut & pasted from here, along with many of the replies!

What ever happened with the local guy who wanted you to bring your PC over so he could check it out for you & tell you whats wrong?

Indeed. You don't follow advice given to you because you do not read posts. Unfortunately, this doesn't help when you are also trying to help others.

Hoping you guys can help. I love FEAR, but these issues are getting to me. every time I walk up the the security guy (Interval 4) to give him a commlink, the game freezes. the first time I talked to him, it was fine, but everytime since then, it hasnt worked.

aside from that, every time I try to exit the game, the screen starts blinking black... I can normally CTRL, ALT, DEL out, but its still annoying.

Im gonna try setting the overclock back to normal, but we shall see, I have been having these issues since before then.

Specs:

Opteron 165 (at 2.7 GHz)
Lanparty SLI- DR Expert
Nvidia 7900GT (running at 515 core and 769 mem)
2x 1gig OCZ EL Platinum

Fear is patched to 1.07, runing 91.47 drivers.

any ideas?

And then we go on to your reply:

It is clear you did not read this post. It is also clear that you do not read advice given to you.

Seriously d00d, it's high time to get a Dell.
