I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this question but I’m sure I will be told if it is wrong quick enough 🙂

I have a amd fx-6100 with 16GB ram and a ati HD5450 2GB graphics card running windows7. I am finding that I can’t play some of the newer PC games such as battlefield3 on my PC so the question is can I dedicate a core or two with a few GB of ram from the system resources to Graphics for playing games.

any help would be greatly appreciated or even a point in the right direction if this is the wrong place to ask this.

    GPU is faster then processors. Thats why my friends PhD is on manipulating the GPU to start running more OS related stuff. GFX cards are really good now, and to up the anty on them, as the human eye cant see more then whatever frames a second. THey do well when they have to buffer like 5 things at once: example, running 5 game clients + youtube + 1 movie. All simultaneously. Offloading from the GFX card to CPU is a no-no. Now, if you have the money, get a nice 12 core gpu and then you wont have to worry about it.

    tl;dr: If you didnt know, gfx cards are faster then cpu. It will only slow you if you want to do X-processor integration. Doable, but you dont really gain anything worthwhile. Get better gpu.
