My GPU bottlenecking?

**joka232** · 05-28-12 at 08:23 AM

okey my options are to...

reset drivers reinstall,
update bios
get my CPU overcloked and buy new cooler
upgrade my whole setup...

wekll tbh my computer does run games but at times will lag when they should like when there is too much action happening. even though the GPU can take it all on High settings..

so whats the best option for me? other then to get a new setup? oh and also i was told updating BIOS is lethal and can leave my computer un-working

This thread is a curious mix of good advice, misinformation and old wives tales.
Seriously though, your gpu is being held back by the rest of your computer. All of it.
Don't you want to set it free? Take it out, gently put it on the table.
Then throw your pc out the window and watch it soar gracefully into the sky.
