    CPU or GPU Intensive?

    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.

    its you CPU, you have the same gfx card as i do and it nails wow on max GFX and with ultra HD setting, im running a Duel Core 3.2gz and my pc nails wow, i even play cod 5 while wating for raids and stuff with wow still running

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

    I think maybe the CPU but its possibly the GPU... Send me your GPU if you get a new one kk ;D (More likely the CPU though, phenoms suck imo)

    NO FANBOYS.
    Look at your post, now back to mine; Now back to your post, now back to mine. Sadly, it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate content, it could look like mine. Look down, backup, where are you? You're scrolling through threads, reading the post your post could look like. What did you post? Back at mine; It's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again and the reply is now diamonds.

    Anything is possible when you think before you post. The moon is shrinking.

    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
