Hey whats going on Tom's forum, I need help on what to do for an upgrade or possible means to improve my FPS in gaming, the game I am playing and probably will be playing is blade and soul. I understand the game is not very graphically demanding and MMOs are more CPU than GPU based, but do need some if not a lot of help from GPU. my rig consists of
MSI 990FXA (gaming edition) motherboard
AMD 8320 (Black edition) CPU (OC to 4.5 MHz)
8 GB G-SKill (sniper series) RAM
Corsair Carbide Series 500r Tower
AMD ATI HD 6850 GPU (OC'd using GPU tweak)
As you can see my GPU is drastically outdated, but when I play it actually does well, it holds above 60 FPS at highest settings when I'm running or at a stand still, But when it comes to combat, when the particles happen, it drops to low 40s, 30s, and sometimes high 20s. So I figured its the GPU, but also when a lot of player's are around the FPS drops again so I figured that's the CPU.
Let me know what I can do to improve FPS, the goal is for the game to hold 60FPS when in combat at high settings, I was thinking of going with a R9 290x, 960 4gb, or try and hold off for a 970, but most likely going to be the R9 290x
