is too limiting (search for PCIe scaling if interested by this topic).

The AMD Athlon 6000 has two cores and is not optimal in this regard.Įnsure that your card is using PCIe 1.1 x16 and not x8 (can be tested with GPUZ).

You want to go for DX12 (this is why you chose win 10), issue is that DX12 is more optimized for multi-threads than DX11 drivers which are almost running on a single thread. With DDR2 and Athlon's controller you should reach 6-8MB/s with T2 (test with sandra sisoft by example). I do not know your motherboard and BIOS but if possible try to overclock your memory as much as possible. So the next bottleneck will be your system memory bandwidth. The Athlon 6000 has 2x1MB cache, this was fine in 2005 but is a limiting factor for today's code. Here I would go for win 7 圆4 or win 8 圆4 with 8GB (the CMPXCHG16b is only needed starting from win 8.1 圆4). So the bigger the memory of your GPU the less you have for the OS and the game. Memory compression feature of Win 10 won't help enough and also use CPU cycles (but still faster than swapping with virtual memory).Īnother point is that if your card allocates system memory in regards of its own memory size.

This means you are stuck with x86 and losing about ~0.5G memory if you have installed 4G. Its the right and only choice if you want DX12 but issue is that the Athlon 64 doesn't support 圆4 for this OS (it's missing LAHF, SAHF, CMPXCHG16b as PrefetchW instructions which have been implemented first in 2005 Revision D). To put it short, yes your CPU and system memory are clearly the bottlenecks.Įliminating memory bottleneck is the easiest way to have a fast system. I spent some time optimizing them (yes it plays Crysis ! -) so let's go steps by steps: I still own two PCs with an OC AMD FX-60 3,1 Ghz and a DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR with 4 GB of OC DDR1 as an ASUS A8N32 SLI Deluxe (with 16GB of DDR1.a little dirty secret few people know its possible). I don't quite know how i managed to get such a top tier PC, I am not rich.
