Hi guys,
I'm here because I play games ocasionally. A couple weeks ago I invested some money in a HD5850. I know, not the best out there, but still more than I need. Even for Skyrim, you know.
Now the thing is, I can max Skyrim out without much trouble, say 20-25 solid FPS, but every 15-20 secs I get this screen freeze, that has me waiting for like 10 seconds for resume. It isn't either completely related/unrelated to demanding situations, since it often happens when I'm about to fight something, but after the initial freeze I'm able to go on without FPS drop.
I know it's not the GPU, mainly because I'm playing on a Q6600 with 3Gb DDR2 800MHZ, and as you probably know the later two are comparatively worse. What I need to now is which one is causing the bottleneck. 'Cause if it's the CPU, you now, sucks for me, but I would upgrade RAM.
Thx ppl!
Also I'm monitoring my components as I play. I get +65ºC every time. What do you think?
