Hi, first of all sorry for my crappy english.

So my friend paid me to replace his gpu, all he gave me were like 3150 pesos, which is the currency on my country. The thing is that the best I could buy with that was a AMD Radeon r7 250x 1gb ddr5 he had a Nvidia GeForce GT520 2gb ddr3, but games like Prey still run slowly (like 18 fps or so)
Here are his specs:

Motherboard: ASRock g41m-vs3
Processor: Intel Celeron 2.53ghz
RAM: 2gb
500 watt power supply
Windows 7 starter

I tried everything but games still run slowly.
Thanks.

I think the primary issue is that your processor is very very old and slow. It's now about 7 years old.

And I don't think that is even a dual core processor even..... That's the primary reason. Also Prey doesn't like AMD video cards. Games running on the Doom 3 engine run slower on AMD video cards than nVidia ones.

Changing that processor to even like a Core 2 Duo E5300 will do wonders for gaming.

PS. Are you from the Philippines?

You are right it isn't dual core, he can run games like UT 2004 with no problems, only some fps drops every 4 minutes I think, we tried doom 3 and it ran at 10 which is ridiculous for us. I guess he will have to buy a new processor. Thanks!

I think your single core intel CPU is showing its age. Still at that resolution, it should deliver some performance. r7-250 is enough for that resolution. What games do you play? Also is your PSU a branded one? Maybe its not supplying enough power to the GPU.
