;When is upgrading system RAM applicable? | |||
: For gaming you only need to upgrade if you have less than 4GB of RAM. Dual-channel is recommended. | |||
;Is the only bottleneck the GPU? | |||
: The CPU can also be a bottleneck if it's not up for the task at hand. The main bottle in most systems will be the HDD in term over overall system performance and installing a SSDs can remedy this. In terms of gaming, your bottleneck is going to be the CPU or GPU. This depends on the hardware in use and what the hardware is used for. | |||
;What GPU upgrade makes the most sense from someone running an AMD HD 46xx or a nVidia GT 3xx and a Duo-core processor? | |||
: In Skyrim dual-cores perform on pare with quad-cores because Skyrim only uses 2 cores efficiently. The GPU upgrade depends on the desired screen resolution and settings. A reasonable answer can not be given without knowing those two things. The Video Card tab has some information on resolutions on Ultra settings for Skyrim. | |||
;Who benefits from PCI-e 3.0? | |||
: No one really benefits from the 3.0 cards yet. Support for 3.0 isn't mainstream at the time of this writting. AMD and Intel have little support for chipsets which handle 3.0 natively. | |||
;Who benefits from CrossfireX/SLI? | |||
: The gamers who benefit the most are those running very high resolutions, very high game settings, multiple monitors or any combination of these. | |||
