Hello, thank your for reading.
My computer is 10 years old...and for the most part still works well. I only game on SWTOR and MTG Arena. No problems on MTG Arena. My main issue seems to be low FPS during end game content DXUN Operation (SMand HM), especially. I can see at times i click on a healing abilitiy and it might take a second to activate. I can have at times over 100 FPS, or more....but during boss fights if can dip to 20 or less. i have an ASUS mother board with an intel i5 750, and Nvidia GTS 250 graphics card. 8g ram.
A few months ago i added a fan to solve overheating issues and my computer went from over a minute half load times....to 10-20 seconds. I really cant afford a whole new computer...so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Was thinking maybe CPU/and or Graphics card upgrade. Again, my computer is 10years old. I don't want to buy a new chip or graphics card if my mother board is the problem. I don't want to spend money only to realize i should just start over.
It could be I'm just not good at DPS/HEALS...and am not ready for endgame content. My heals are usually half the other healer....and im fully geared and augmented. I'm not sure if hardware is the problem and keeping me from doing better. the other healer said he had 60-100 FPS....though im not sure if he meant during the boss fights. So i thought, that's where i should start.
Thanks again for reading...hope to hear from anyone soon
