Pushed the Athlon 640 from 3.0GHz to 3.6GHz without any problems so far but with minimal effect on MMO performance (load dropped from 80+% to 60-70% though). Turned to the GPU and it's running flat out so that seems to be the bottleneck. Bumped that from 820MHz to 950MHz but again no real improvement in MMO performance (~30 FPS normally but some dips to the teens) and it's still running flat out. Both had slight temperature increases but are still well within safe levels.
Now the part where I get confused is my girlfriends PC has a AMD Phenom II 965 (3.4GHz, 8MB cache) and a Radeon 7770 1020MHz and she gets stable ~70FPS with the GPU peaking at 83% load. As far as I can work out the only differences in our setup are that her CPU has an extra 6MB L3 cache and her GPU is running 70MHz faster than mine (we also have different mobos).
Am I missing a bottleneck/difference here or is that small difference really able to give her double my framerate? I don't mind putting more time into overclocking or money into upgrading parts if I really have to but I want to be sure that I'm focusing on the right thing here.
