Wait, what?

I played Bad Company 2 with my old Intel Pentium D 3,2ghz without problems.

Oh, I don't have any "problems" per se, it just feels like my cpu is bottlenecking the system.

If anyone's interested in getting a core i3 530, let me know. I have no use for it now

What GPU do you have in? How much RAM?

I'd be interested, how many GHZ?

I would think your gpu would have a greater impackt on performance, but as you say, it's a cpu-dependant game?

That's why I asked. I thought GPU would make a bigger difference as well, unless he already has a good one.

No, gpu would be framerate problems, inconsistency would be from bottlenecking as the cpu cannot keep up with all the objects, physics and entities while then telling the gpu what to render, at 30-60 fps.

This is why Nvidia's PhysX exists for physics, to take some load off of the cpu.

Bad Company 2 is actually a CPU intensive game, oddly enough.

Well, it has destructible walls and whatnot. I imagine that's what makes it so hard on the cpu. It's also optimized for quad-core, and i3 is dual-core.

ah, screw that then.
