Hi guys, thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
My current specs: nothing oc'd
AMD x2 4800
2gb performance ram
BFG 7900gtx
1680x1050 resolution
Windows XP
I strictly play wow and have been noticing my fps drop below 30 and often 20 frames during graphics intensive raids and crowded places. I have heard that the upcoming expansion will require even more powerful hardware.
What I'm looking for is a quick, cheap way to improve performance in wow, with playable framerates (30+) in all raid environments. What would be my best upgrade route? Is it time to upgrade my mobo and processor along with my graphics card?
I'm hoping that a simple video card upgrade will do the trick, looking to pay in the neighborhood of $250 but willing to pay more if absolutely necessary.
