propatzhs :

What game are you playing? Overall your system is out of date, I am not surprised by the low performance. You should look into a stronger CPU, graphics card, and at least 8GB of RAM. Monitor your gpu and cpu load while your in the thick of it, you will probably see that one or more of those parts are holding you back.

It a good pc 3 years ago. I would make sure it is not overheating.

propatzhs · Jul 16, 2013

I am playing Planet side 2 but i am above the requirements for this game...I i have the in game settings on low.What are you suggesting to me ? :??:

burdenbound · Jul 16, 2013

propatzhs :

You meet the minimum requirements but not the recommended requirements. I think you will be just fine if you can bump up to their listed recommended specs.

Tom Tancredi · Jul 16, 2013

The GPU was "announced and demonstrated on June 16, 2008" and CPU "in December 2008" . Consumer PCs last 5 years and your now into that 5th year.

FYI MINIMUM settings means the game will run (though you may be 1-5fps it is still 'running'). Recommended is the minimum settings having a positive gaming experience (hence look at recommended NOT minimum). Your system is way out of date and won't support 'heavy' use (when battles happen with many combatants). And if you could play the game on LOW but nothing else, that tells you your system is needing of replacement.

$300+ Walmart PC (suggest i5 Core), swap out the PSU $99, swap out video card $100+ done! New system, latest OS, still under warranty, and not too much expense that can be stretched out as you spend/save/spend...

Tom Tancredi :

Hello my friend
Thanks for your reply,Unfortunately i am from greece and i cant buy from wlmart.com :/ ...I totaly agree with your post but i havent the funds to make the big changes on my current system.Let me tell you the full system spec:

CPU: AMD PHENOM II 955 3,2 ghz
GPU: ATI HD4890
RAM: 4 GB DDR3 (1x4 GB )
MOBO: Msi 760ga-p43 fx
PSU: CoolerMaster GX Series 650W
MONITOR: Time 19" LCD TV LA-1900 W

I think with an OC my cpu will be ok (my temps is very very good).

rgd1101 · Jul 17, 2013

Sound like is already overheating now, I don't think oc is going to work for you.
(my temps is very very good) what temp are you getting?

propatzhs · Jul 17, 2013

rgd1101 :

Why to be overheating dude?I have 29-40 on iddle(cpy,gpu,mobo) withought my air condition in my room running(my PC is above my desk on an office furniture and my aircondition hit it straight away)

Sory for my bad english btw

burdenbound · Jul 17, 2013

I think you will see very little improvement by overclocking the CPU. If your dipping in the 1-5 fps range now you might see an improvement of 2-5 fps if your lucky, not really worth it to me. But if you do decide to go that route I would suggest an aftermarket CPU cooler.

Thanks for your reply
I wonder if i decide to upgrade only my cpu,will this help?i know i have to upgrade my gpu too but i havent the funds to do this....
My ram i thing is ok now.

rgd1101 · Jul 17, 2013

I have 29-40 on iddle(cpy,gpu,mobo) what about on load?

propatzhs · Jul 17, 2013

rgd1101 :

On load is 50-75 for cpu and 60-85 on gpu...I dont thing i have problem with temps dude..

simon12 · Jul 17, 2013

75C is to high for the CPU I think 62 is the official max

propatzhs · Jul 17, 2013

Come on guys,temps is not my problem here believe me

.I said 75 on full load 100% withought aircondition in use on my room.The problem is that if i have to upgrade something what it will be.I cant upgrade 2 parts cause of my limited funds. :/

If the frames drop and then go back up its likely something is overheating. Does lowering settings help? Your hardware though dated is still quite capable.

propatzhs · Jul 18, 2013

simon12 :

Unfortunately am playing with very low settings but my fps still drop in a big battle from 30-40 fps to 2-5 for 1-4 sec and then back again to 30-40.That is happening every 30 sec in a big battle with many other players around.I have my air condition that hit straight forward to my pc but i cant see difference.

My cpu is on full load at that period of time when a big battle is on.I dont know what is happening,if you can tell me a tip to figure it out that will be appreciative.....

simon12 · Jul 18, 2013

I still thin kits overheating to check I suggest you install HWMonitor and play a game and when it lags check what the CPU temp reached. Your system should easily cope with low settings in any game without an upgrade. Your CPU with a 200Mhz increase still gets a recommendation for a budget gaming PC see http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-2.html and your GPU should perform around the same as a Radeon 7750 even slightly better but lacking direct X 11. I am surprised how cool your GPU runs when I had the same one it ran into the 90s all the time.

propatzhs · Jul 18, 2013

simon12 :

Thanks for your replies mate
I checked the cpu temps and its fine when i am laging.I still thing that the problem is on my cpu cause it is on 100% load when the lag is happening.What should i do now?

-I just did the prime95 test and my cpu passed all tests...I am so lost.

simon12 · Jul 19, 2013

Apologies I seem to have been barking up the wrong tree. I just did 5 mins research on this and the problem is the game. PS2 doesn't run great on any system but hates AMD CPUs especially try reading this http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3029182 and see if any of it helps.

propatzhs · Jul 19, 2013

simon12 :

Thank you for the link mate

I will try all this tips to raise my fps but if that wont work what should i do?Buy a new cpu?

propatzhs · Jul 19, 2013

byogamingpc :

I thing 150$ for at least 2 years for my pc is perfect.But what about my gpu?Will my gpu stand for another 2 years?
