Hey Guys :)

My computer:
i7 3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
16GB RAM
windows 8 64-bit
geforce gt 630

my graphics drivers up to date, good power supply and I can not play dead island at lowest settings with major lag and my FPS dropping to 4fps when I move the mouse let alone try to play! has anyone got any suggestions I've tried everything i know!!! help!!!
 
Solution
you have gpu bottleneck.3770 is a beast of a cpu you must pair it with some better gpu.if you do make sure your psu is up to the task

Do you have any idea what sort of gpu i would need then with my cpu to play games like dead island? I have around £150-£250 to spend on a graphics card..

thanks :) how would you rate the msi radeon r9 270x 2gb for a card worth buying?
