i have a e8400@stock, a 9800gtx and 4GB of ram. i played the beta and metro ran fine with a mix of low and medium settings at 1280x960. averaged about 30-45fps depending on the area of the map. caspian border on the other hand was 10-25fps with everything set to low and there were a ton of framerate and audio stuttering.
would swapping the video card for something like a 560ti be enough to maintain a solid 30+fps on say medium without the audio/framerate stuttering on the larger maps or is my cpu just too old to play online smoothly?
i dont plan to build a new pc until ivy bridge but also dont want to waste money on a video card if it wont help any. maybe i should just get the xbox version. advice and feedback is greatly appreciated. tanks in advance.
I had a gtx560 non ti and it was held back so much by my oced e8200@ 3.2ghz i just returned it.
Get a quad core first then a gpu...what i'm doing in 2 weeks.
2500k is all the rage i had a system that a friend water damaged and even with your 9800gtx oced...the best it did was 1440x900 on low with the 2500k@ 4.3ghz.
Mind you the 9800gtx was a 512mb card
