Computer Upgrades - Looking for bang for the buck
#2
Quote:Hey gang - I'm getting a little frustrated with my current frame rates when AoE is going off in raids. I'd like to be able to run with spell effects on and still be able to run things like Recount in 25 mans. So what I'm looking for is where I could upgrade my beast for the most bang for the buck. Here are my current specs:

Motherboard
Processor
Memory
Videocard
Powersupply

I'd thought that upgrading my videocard would be the quickest way to see a Framerate increase but some reviews online make me wonder if there is a problem somewhere else since I generally see 30 to 60 fps in most places - even raids. The big thing is not having a good way to check recount in 25 mans and still enjoy decent framerates for when the AoE goes off.

Without commenting on your specific pieces, I have the same issue with Recount in 25-mans, but I know what my problem is. It's my *old* hardware's slow frontside bus. I'm fixing that issue today, if the Fed Ex guy ever gets here. I've got a vid card that could handle it fine, but I really can't feed it as fast as I need to.
