Joegrag Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 You should get a new gpu at first ,your cpu is pretty good. To my rig: i7 4770k GTX 680 4gb Samsung evo 840 500gb 8gb of crucial ballistix ram I am playing with 70fps on ultra when AA and vsync turned off - cause as far as i can see the effects aren t implemented yet.

felelo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Upgrade your graphics card... everything else should be fine. Yes.... I'm researching about buying a nes Nvidia, around the 800 series, and using it together with my 550 Ti... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yes.... I'm researching about buying a nes Nvidia, around the 800 series, and using it together with my 550 Ti... if you need my help you can PM me, also NVidea has no 800 series for desktop parts and you cant put the 550 Ti in sli with anything but a 550 TI(just so you know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObiQuiet Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 This is a useful thread... My mainboard has barnacles and seaweed slowing it down, and I can't find the right Windows 7 64lb driver for my new carronades. I'll have to careen the case and downgrade to 32 pounders. That bluetoothed master gunner is no good either, and should be replaced. The bow chasers are on a Universal Swivel Base, so that's at least good. The RAM on the bowsprit is rather small, and I think the stern Windows weren't installed correctly. The holystone deck drive (HDD) is large, about the size of ten of the captains' gigs, and contributes to the ship's hogging. I think a torredo worm has gotten to the coppering... oh dear. Am saving up for an Armada Micro Destroyer shipset..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperEtendard Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Intel i5 3450 @ 3.10 GHzRAM 12 Gb DDR3 1333 Hz KingstonGPU GT 630 with 2Gb DDR3.I am fine with the processor and the RAM, but the GT 630 is underperfomer, and i noticed it in many games. I can play with custom settings at 20~25 fps. This setup leads to very curious results, have to put water on low, and 0 antialising . Other things such as anisotropic filtering and texture quality between low and max there isn't fps differences over 2 or 3 at mostly, so i have full anisotropic and medium textures. Lightning on low aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admaa Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I bought the cheapest parts I could get hold of a few years ago. Still wish I waited and bought a better i7 instead. Processor: Intel Sandybridge i5-2500K Quad-Core 3.30GHz, 6MB CacheMotherboard: ASUS 1155 SABERTOOTH P67 REV 3.0 S/LRAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz Graphics Card: GTX 580 DirectCu II (1.56GB)Memory: WD Caviar Green 2TB SATA 6Gbp/s + Seagate 1TB 6Gb/s OS: Windows 7 64-bitI can play on custom (Highest) When I use ultra preset I get some peformance issues and to be honest it doesn't look any different than the highest custom settings, which is rather curious.Usually I get 60-90 FPS, but in massive Trafalgar battles I get around 30-45.

Honestly, an i7 would not make a difference in anything but things like video rendering, photoshop, 3d modeling, streaming and other more professional and demanding tasks, gaming wouldnt make a single differance, if you want more performance overclock your cpu as you can do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured the threading and cache was more of a improvement than the i5 (on the day of purchase/research) I thought that was still the case? Saying that, I've kinda been out of the loop for new hardware since! I've had no problems with it for the 4ish years I've had the i5, and would gladly overclock rather than spend £200 on a new processor that doesn't improve the peformance as much. Was considering buying a SSD for my OS, but that's the only improvement I can really think of, besides a new GPU at some point in the next 2-3 years.

chrizzo Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Running very smooth at Ultra Settings on my system with following specs: CPU: i5 2500K @ 4.8Ghz GPU: AMD r9 290 @ 1150/1350 RAM: 8Gb DDR3 The only thing i notice is, that almost every alpha game is silly optimised (due to their state of developement), so they drain a lot power from your CPU and not GPU. Upgrading to a newer CPU with a better thread handling etc improves way more than just clock speed. Cause i got at least two alpha games, where my CPU is on limit and my GPU idles around, resulting in a 200+ framerate and still a laggy or slow gameplay. (a newer CPU like Xeon with 3.4Ghz handles the same situation with a way smoother gameplay) So if you consider in playing alpha games you may think of getting a newer generation of CPU. Else every new medicore CPU will do fine and should be enough for every finished game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing about the cache is that you dont really notice much of a differance with that, the thing with threads, it is a rare breed to see anything that even uses 4 trheads(most use 2 threads(or cores if you want) today), so you would pay a lot more for no extra performance in gaming.
