HI All,
So a year or so back I was able to ask for advice on what parts to buy for my own high end PC,
which I was very greatful for.
However recently I've been having issues with a few games when I try to run them on Max or near Max settings.
Specifically Borderlands 2 and Sleeping Dogs.
These two games have caused me a fair amount of trouble.
Sleeping Dogs is damn near broken, I can't play it without experiencing massive lags here and there with Crashes to Desktop once or twice.
To be perfectly honest I haven't gone through every possible solution what with the fact that there are so many possibles, and that loads of people are experiencing them.
With Borderlands 2, as long as I set the PhysX to low I can play without too much trouble for a while, but after a few battles it starts to lag.
What with new games on their way (Hitman and Assassins Creed 3) should I take the oppertunity to upgrade, or is my issue likely to be something else? (Such as a fault with my build)
I've decided against following "FinneousPJ"'s guide for requesting new build/upgrade advice as really all I'm after is advice on weather its my current build that's the issue.
With that in mind though I'll list my current specs.
Motherboard: Assus Sabertooth X58
GPU: MSI GTX 580
CPU: Intel i7 950
RAM: (Corsair XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 SDRAM Memory ) x2 ---> 12Gb of Ram
PSU: XFX 850W
Case: Silverstone Fortress FT02B-W
Heatsink: Thermaltake Frio CLP0564 CPU Cooler
Soundcard: ASUS Xonar
Wls Network Cd: TP-Link TL-WN781ND
SSD: OCZ VERTEX 80Gb
HD: 1TB Samsung HD103SJ SATA F3
I hope you can give me some advice on what I should do.
Thanks in advance!
