funnyperson...ur somewhat correct...i did turn the resolution up to 1024 X 768 and i only lost 6 fps..this is without a sound card in the pci slot...
Bigred how do u know that ur cpu is the bottle neck?..i mean how do we go about and determine that our cpu is the bottle neck...
with my old geforce2 gts 32 MB and an old sound card, i get 5 more fps than the radeon...unless i switch to a newer sound card like the hercules MULES XL..i actually gained 10 fps
by the way i sw this article at www.tomshardware that suggested the sound card can take away some cpu processing power. So I went out and bought a hercules fortissimoII hoping it would resolve the issue...but to no avail..same ol same old results
