Low fps

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

Hello, i started playing a first person shooter called "PlanetSide 2" and my fps are about 20-35 (frames per second).
I have no idea in the matter of computers hardware and only a little bit about the software side, and I would really like to know why do I have only 20-35 fps, and how much would it affect my gaming (i read online that it's harder to play when the fps are lower then about 60).
These are my specs:
Spoiler
CPU: Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz
GPX: Radeon HD 7750 Sapphire 1GB GDDR5 Edition
RAM: 4GB
Internet connection: 12MB with cable.

I run the game on Low res (although when i tried running it on medium the outcome was THE SAME)
So i thought it might be a graphic problem but i'm not so sure, if it isn't so please help me understand what it is and where should i ask it.
BTW - In other games such as Assassin's creed 3 and FarCry 3 the game shatters some times AND there is a TONE of lag in Guild wars 2 that makes it impossible to play.

Thank you in advance.
Assaf.

problem is your cpu, this is why you are getting the same fps even when you raise graphical settings.

i have a 2500k quadcore clocked at 5ghz and planetside 2 uses about 60 percent of it.

see how you have an e8400, the e means it has 2 cores.

you want something like a q8400 or q9400 or q9550 or something. it is pretty old hardware so buying it new can be quite overpriced. if u can find one used for 100 bucks or less i would say go for it.
