Is this system bottlenecked?

OK, some days ago I downloaded Insurgency-mod. Got new patch and so on. But still I and some other people are complaining about low fps.
something like 25-30. Ok, some guy says it was because of our system being bottlenecked. ok, I started a game and tested my fps with different settings. all high and then all low. I did not see so many differences. But the thing I find weird it that some places inside I get about 60-70 and some special places outside I get over 100. So I think there might be something with the levels or what?
So here are my specs and say if you think this is bottlenecked by my cpu

Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHZ

1.5 gb ram 3200-400mhz

x1950 pro 512 mb ram.

thx

What sort of FPS do you get in BF2? having never played that game I have no idea how system heavy it is.

60-70 fps with this system is good, so dont worry!

Considering my x1950 Pro gets over 200FPS on BF2 (with the FPS limit removed, thats not all high either BTW) Yeah I'd say that's bottlenecked lol.

Looks like an okay system. If you want to upgrade I'd go for the CPU. Wait for intels 22/7 price drops and get something like a E6750. Or if you have lots of monies a fancy quad-core.

I reckon it should be getting higher. The x1950 pro is probably the best dx9 cards equal to the nVidia 7950. Apart from nVidia's haxed gx2 but thats cheating.

200FPS?????!?!!? How come my C2D6800EE, 4096MB DDR2-1000, dual 8800GTX only gets between 150-160 in 1600x1200 maxxed... my AMD64 3200+ 4096MB DDR-400, 7900GS 512MB gets around 70-90...

And you cant compare a X1950 to a Gefore 88** series, neither to a 7900GTX, 7950GX2 etc.

Well I only run 1280x1024, and as i said it's not maxed, other than that I dont know. lowest FPS i get is 170~ in the middle of an arty strike.

EDIT *goes to find post with BF2 settings in*

Resolution:1280x1024@60hz

terrain:med (I'd have it low but it goes all weird if I do)

effects:low

geometry:high

texture:high

lighting:high

dynamic shadows:off

dynamic light:high

aa:x2

texture filtering:high

view scale:100%

And I'll bury you with FRAPs screens if you like.

Ah k, havent seen it´s not maxxed. Well, dunno what my rigs run in zero settings... I guess around 15.000 FPS

An x1950 Pro running at 60FPS on medium settings is normal? Fucking hell gimme a break lol, maxed it manages 90+ happily, his CPU doesen't stand a chance of keeping up with that card, and 1.5GB RAM is boarderline (though that doesen't affect FPS all that much).

well I get 15-20 fps normal, 30 in a jet and 5 in artillery.
Everything is on the lowest.

Hows that for some 1337 fps's?

Lol why do you even care if you have 160 or 200 fps, not that you'll notice any visible difference.

To the 200 guy, max your settings please. Having 200 fps on medium settings is just a waste of your graphics card. I'll trade your card with my radeon 9600xt which can also run medium settings (80 fps)

To the OP, mmm I thought you should get more fps with that rig, but maybe the mod is just too heavy.

An x1950Pro running at 60FPS with an P4 3.0Ghz and 1.5GB RAM is pretty average, nothing more, nothing less...

The point were making and the entire point of the thread in fact is that with a better CPU his card would put out much higher FPS. That is what bottlenecking is after all, (shit CPu holding back otherwise good hardware) cheers for proving for us.

I run my setting at what they are because it makes things A LOT easier to see, maxed things go darker and infantry blend in more.
