I built a computer a couple of years ago for the first time. Since then I've swapped a couple of parts. I swapped what I thought would make it possible to max WoW easy. Here is my build.
Resolution 1920x1080 I have two primary 22" led monitors and my TV is hooked up for watching movies.
MOBO : Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H
CPU : AMD PHENOM II X4 965 BLACK EDITION
GPU : XFX ATI 6950 2GB
RAM : 2X2GB DDR2 800MHZ
PSU : OCZ 750W
HDD : 1.5TB Seagate Barracuda 7200
Even with Diablo 3 I get serious frame drops.
Now don't get me wrong, I know I do not have a super computer by any means, but i also feel like I should be pulling better performance than I do. Right now I set WoW on ultra with vsync off. I am in SW with very few other people, it definitely isn't packed. I am only pulling about 30-35fps. What do you guys think is the issue? maybe because its slow ram? I haven't upgraded ram because ddr2 is expensive now and I'm working on a new build. I just need a new MOBO and CPU. Any advice would be appreciated.
