Does heavy computer games affect computer hardware/gpu

NOTE: Don't advice for upgrading hardware

I recently bought Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and it is running okay on some high and some low settings. The problem is the game is giving around 11-15 FPS but with no lags, but will it or not affect my computer hardware
because i play many more modern games with ultra high settings and this game is a bit slow.

as long as nothing is over heating, don't worry about it.

You didn't give specs, so no one can comment on the performance you just quoted.

Heating is the only problem that may become an issue to hardware.

If you temperatures are good then nothing to worry. You can game all day long.

Don't advice for upgrading hardware

I guess he didn't give us specs because he knows his computer doesn't meet requirements. Since he's getting only 11-15 fps.

You need to upgrade if you don't meet minimum requirements, if you do, put everything @ low.
If you don have any money, you might want to overclock you cpu.

It's rather normal for Black Flag to run like a retarded chimp. I assume it is fine on the water and in non-dense terrain areas? Even my GTX 780 can drop down to 25 FPS in large cities or dense jungles.

if you posted the specs along with the resolution and settings we could tell you why your machine runs like it does. but to come here asking without giving pertinent information............. why even make an attempt to answer?

swifty_morgan :

Well, his question wasn't about performance, or looking for advice with it.
