Hello,
Once again, I find myself consulting the experts hanging around on these forums for some more advice
So, it's been about a a year and a half since I built my system, the specs are as followed:
AMD Phenom II 955 OC@3.5Ghz
8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM at 1466Mhz (Took me ages to get it stable with an AMD Phenom -_-)
Nvidia GeForce GTS450 1GB DDR5 Clocked at 900MHz core
That's sort of all you need to know for the query, I have a simple Asus mobo.
I'm going to be 16 next week, so I'm not rolling in money, but being my birthday, I'm going to get some, and this thing REALLY needs a refurbish I really want to play Battlefield 3 and Crysis 3 (when it arrives) with a decent fps with everything on full settings, so I thought a 3rd gen i5 2570K, and a GeForce GTX560 Ti 448 edition would be plenty because it's quite expensive too, and when I have the money, buying a second for SLI. I look at my current FPS for battlefield 3 and its on the medium settings tab and I'm getting 48fps at a low 39 and at highest 50. I thought, with this new gear, I would be able to play on ultra at 60 fps, especially because it's going to cost about £500. I looked at bench marks and was rather surprised that for all that money, I'm still getting the same fps just on a higher setting... As great as that is, at the moment, I dont like the low frame rate because I can tell when it drops even the slightest and it gets on my nerves and I'm not paying £500 so I can play it on the next setting up at 60fps, I want it on ultra at 60fps for that sort of money...
So I pose the question: If I spend £500 on this new stuff, will the jutterry gameplay stop and will I actually get a better FPS on ultra? Or should I just stick with what I've got and wait (probably 5years) to get the new decent stuff then? LASTLY if anyone has any knowledge of getting better fps etc for a cheaper price or a better graphics card I'd be happy to look and be very grateful.
Thanks for all your help
Adam
