Does system speed/specs really make a difference in performance? Or is there a pretty much a line of how well games will perform no matter how new and fast your system and vid card is?
I mean, is there a point where hardware doesn't matter and it's kinda software dependent on optimization?
For example, my old system:
Intel 9550 quad-core at 3.4ghz
6gb ram ddr2-6400
nvidia 9800gt
new system:
intel i5-2500k
8gb ddr3-1333
gtx 460 1gb
would there be a significant increase in performance? Or probably same crap? it ran well on my old system, new system's not built yet...otherwise i'd just try it myself and find out
