Hello. It has been a long time since i have posted here .
It is upgrade time. I am thinking of either upgrading my fm2 6600k to a am3+ fx 8320 as it is in my price range since i will have to buy a motherboard also. for mother board i like the MSI 990FXA-GD80 because its 990 chipset and i can put my sound card above the top video card.
my second upgrade option is add a second 770 gtx BUT my current is a 2gb model. I could sell it on ebay and then buy 2 4gb models.
Third option is sell the 770 and buy a 970 gtx and save money for awhile then add a second.
What i want to do
I currently run B4 at full 5760 x 1080 at high to mid settings at around 45 fps. with lag spikes and stutters. I want these gone and i want to bump up the settings way higher. Farcry 4 runs unplayable unless i run it at 1080p.
I understand that the Cpu is an APU and i am worried that if i buy a video card the APU will bottleneck it badly. It is currently bottlenecking slightly on Far cry 4 at high settings with 2x AA. 100 percent CPU load on all 4 cores all the time.
What would be the best option to get better framerate right now. If i upgrade the cpu/mobo or upgrade cards.
Thanks.
