Unfortunately, I am not a nuts and bolts computer person. I have scoured the internet for a solution, but have not been able to get (or interpret) a good answer for me.
Problem: Running WoW and SWTOR with terrible frame rates
Have installed Advanced System Care (ASC) and it has made a fairly significant difference, but still not good.
WoW:
Prior to ASC - 14-19 FPS, latency good at approx 50 ms, often get 1-6 during raids, etc.
After ASC - 25-30 FPS, latency good at approx 50 ms, however, still often get FPS of 1-6 during raids, etc.
SWTOR:
Prior to ASC - 1-5 FPS, latency good at approx 52 ms
After ASC - 10-15 FPS, latency good at approx 52 ms
My System:
AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 650 Processor, 3200 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
3.20 GHz
8 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HS 4200
One digital flat panel 1920x1080 (game display) max refresh rate 75
One VGA monitor 1024x768 (vent, etc. display) max refresh rate 75 (this is an OLD monitor)
Windows 7-64
Hard Disk space 920 GB, 745 GB free
This is a new computer (purchased Oct 2011, orig build Apr 2011). I am willing to upgrade parts, but I don't know what parts need to be upgraded (CPU, GPU, other??).
I would really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks!
