Unfortunately, it's because your system, by todays standards, is old, and does not have enough power to play the games properly. Most games require a good quadcore CPU and a decent graphics card. Although, you will be able to play some older games with decent settings, anything new will not play well, if at all.

Since when do games "require" a quad core cpu? From what i see most games "require" a dual core not a quad. Not that a quad will not play it better. But i have not seen many if there are any that "require" a quad core cpu. In some system recommendations i see they recommend a quad cpu. But not really seen any quads being the bare minimum to play the game.

And yeah a better video card and if your mobo can take higher sticks of ram. 4 gigs max for 32 bit operating systems and 8 gigs for 64 bit operating systems is really the norm almost when it comes to setting up a gaming cpu. So upping your ram and your video card will give you a bigger boost in gaming. Outside of that you are looking at either buying a new pc or building a new one.

Recommended System Requirements

No high horse just pointing out the facts. A quad may give a bit more fps in games but it is no means a "requirement" as you say. So no it is not accurate when you word it with "Most games require a good quadcore CPU". And we are a few more years away from quad core cpu's becoming a system requirement. That doesn't mean you won't benefit from a quad core. But it is by no means a requirement to play most games at a decent frame rate.

Game developers try to keep system specs low to make their game available to a larger game population as not all gamers can afford the best system specs. If they tried to market their games to players who only have the best specs they would quickly go bankrupt. As there are not that many people out there that could just drop down that money any time they wish. So i would safely wager that quad core requirements being used for games is still a few more years away when the technology becomes much cheaper.

Your simply deluded. Those minimum specs your outlined are exactly that, and play those games at the lowest settings on even a medium res of 16 x10.

If you can't see that its the dated system holding back play-ability your blind. Sorry to be so blunt.

The OP is wondering why his games are playing slow. I've told him. Best wishes with your trolling.

No trolling just pointing out that you are not speaking with all the facts. You say that you can not run a game nowadays without a good quad core. Obviously that is wrong. And you can increase performance with games in most circumstances by just a video card upgrade so long as the cpu will not bottleneck the gpu. So again a quad core is not needed. Now if you look to push a system to its max and you have a lot of money to throw out the window then yes you can go with a quad core and a high end graphics card.

It comes down to what you need and what you can afford. In many cases you can get by with a gpu upgrade so long as it does not bottleneck by the cpu. That is the cheapest route. Now if you do not have a low to medium level budget then going with a quad and a power house gpu is an option. A cheaper cpu and a more powerful gpu gives better performance over an expensive cpu and a cheap gpu.

But i do love how you try to get it personal. I am just pointing out all the information as accurately as possible. You on the other hand are throwing out generalizations with only half the information needed to make an informed decision. You claim that games have higher system requirements then they actually do. False information benefits no one.

i have open slots for ram and graphic card

Get of your high horse dude! Try reading what I wrote in the context of the post ' Most games require a good quadcore CPU and a decent graphics card, Although, you will be able to play some older games with decent settings, anything new will not play well, if at all.'
I clearly say most games, meaning anything new like BF3, COD, Borderlands 2, Batman Arkham City.....just to name a few, including most DX10 and more particularly DX 11 games will require a decent quadcore to have a chance of playing those games at a good resolution and say medium to high setings. I know, from personal experience. I have a Q6600 at 3.0ghz, and yes it plays most games well, but not quite the way I would like....smooth high res, and high settings. And anything new, like Crysis 3, and the upcoming BF4, will be hogs, hardware wise. The tech the OP is using is 5 years old, as is my own so I think, I'm being farily accurate with my post., Don't you?



Thanks.
