Hi guys, I bought a £1000 pc not long ago, within the last year. Ill list you some of my system specs
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @2.33ghz
Memory (RAM) 4GB
64 Bit Operating System
Graphics card is "nVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2" graphic card
This computer is designed solely for gaming. Whilst in 10 man raids, I can have very good FPS on minimum detail, but if I raise it to fair/good, ill start dropping to 35 ish. In 25 man raids, I have to have minimum setup and even then I can drop between 20-35 FPS. Whilst it is playable without hardly any problems, I am progressing ina good guild, and for heroic modes Im going to need better detail. Easier to move from a void zone if you can actually see it! So why is my FPS so low, even though I have what I was told is a fantasic computer. In my research I've read about CPU being the main affector of FPS. Is mine not that great? and if not, will simply having the best CPU available installed onto on pc enable me to play at max detail or is it my graohics card. Either way I spent alot of money on the PC itself so dont quite understand which is dragging my FPS down. Can anyone help me? If so id appreciate it if you didnt speak in your most techical terms, your talking to a computer novice and I understand little about the techical side.
