Hi All
Can anyone tell me what a really good graphics card would be for BC2. Im currently running a AMD quad core 3.0ghz 8gigs of ram with a nivida 8600 card. Any useful would be great --------------------   |

Oh, and install coretemp, you may think your case is cooled, but you would be surprised. My cheap case had the side off and was still way hotter than my new one with proper front-back airflow. Leaving the door off can reduce cpu temps, but can also increase motherboard temps due to the air not circulating properly.
** Oooops I also just squinted at your fuzzy cpu-z shots and you have the B3 version of the Q6600 chip. Bad news is that is the old version of the chip, not the one that gets ninja-like overclocks. The revised chip is revision G0 which generates a lot less heat than the early B3. Heat = limit on speed so you will never be able to clock as high as one of the good Q6600s. |
