Is WoW more CPU intensive or GPU?
I feel that I am getting bottlenecked at the FPS ingeneral, and FPS when I'm frapsing.
I've decided to get a new GPU but, I want to be sure that if my CPU is bottlenecking everything on WoW.
My current Rig:
9800 GT@ 700Mhz CC.
Phenom 4x 9550 @ 2.2Ghz (Yeah. Horrible. But, still. Could OC to 2.4Ghz)
5GB of RAM (64x)
I was thinking about getting a GTX260, but as stated..is my CPU Bottlenecking my game? Or just my GPU.
Thanks for suggestions.

your also running an odd amount of RAM which is strange, you should allways have it in pairs 2,4,6 etc

Reputation: 50 Level up: 9%, 729 Points needed | | | | Well, what should I buy. My limit is around 100-150 for a new CPU only, no mobo..
Gah.
Edit: It's odd because when I upgrade my brother's computer, I bought him 4GB of Ram, but he only had two (It was 1GB per stick. It was for 20 bucks for 4GB, I said why not.)
So, I gave myself one. And gave away the other.
So, I have a 1GB, 1GB 2GB, 1GB
