Upgrade memory or Vid Card for beter performance?


deangut

Recommended Posts

I just got a new PC from Dell and this is what I got

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

512MB RAM

 

 

 

and an on board video Intel Xtreme graphix (think its 64MB)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I am playing the game I note that memory goes from 230 to about 45o to 520 (almost paging)

 

 

 

My processor is norm at 80 to 95% (3 GHZ)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you think would help out more for the performance of the game. I know this game isn't intense on graphics, but any insight on this is appreciated..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also just upgraded to newest release of JRE (Java platform)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanx

RAM.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your video card, realy, has nothing much to do at all with a little Java game. But if you play other graphical intense games, i'd get a video card as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but, get another 512mb of ram, and if you have some cash left over you can :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A. Get a Nvida FX 5500 (like $50 or so)

 

 

 

B. Get a Nvida 6600GT (around $150.)

Let me know if it uses that much of your CPU . I always seem to note it 80-100% when running rs2 on high res.

 

 

 

I am not sure if I can fix this with a setting on my PC or not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again I have the norm install for the new JRE platform (might be a setting in there)

 

 

 

ne help would be great
