Hello, first time ever posting on a forum, just joined this site, too.
Am I correct in thinking that in regards to desktop video gaming:
FPS has mostly to do with cpu speed and the graphics card, with a powerful modern card taking some of the load off the cpu?
Ram has mostly to do with loading up entry areas into a game, and moving your character into separate game areas, not fps?
Hard drive has to do with computer boot-up, non-gaming, and solitary gaming from a dvd, and not much to do with most modern MMO games? (especially where the player interaction is on a synchronized online arena?
Is there any real fps difference if the RAM in a rig is 1300, 1600, 1800, or 2000?
Most rigs unless carefully crafted and researched by a knowledgeable person bottleneck SOMEWHERE with all the interfacing parts? ( RAM, card, CPU, Buses, connections, memory, etc. )
I'd love to hear what actually makes what improve, in MMO's.
I'd also love to hear a discussion about the impact a range of RAM speed has on gaming, other than load times, if you enter a game, or a different area that loads new memory while in-game. Put another way ... will 2000 RAM give any more fps than 1300? Will 8 gig vs. 2 gig of RAM make any difference in FPS other than loading fresh areas?
Thanks!
Jack
