Computer Hardware and PVP

Posted in community forums but got no response, figured id post somewhere were alot of pvp people come to talk.

 

Right now im currently playing on a AMD 2.0ghz dual core. And its fine for when the screen isnt crowded and doing PVE things. But im wanting to get into PVP more but cant because of how terrible the processor is.

 

I was wondering if anyone that pvps and also happens to have a Intel Core i3-2120 could tell me how smooth the game runs for you when you pvp.

 

And for the people who dont have that processor please dont post about things you have or something better i should get etc etc or that my video card isnt good enough, its not unrelated to what im asking. So dont do it.

I have an I3 in my HTPC and it's a pretty solid gamer. Certainly a solid step up from what you're using but gaming is really far more about the graphics card then the CPU though. What kind of praphics card do you have now? That would probably be the biggest bang for your buck if your power supply will support it. Also, if your current board is an AM3 socket then you can probably just ge a faster AMD chip and keep your current motherboard if you wnat to upgrade the CPU.

I too have similar issues.

 

I have a Core 2 Duo 7800 (2.93 Ghz) with 4 GB RAM and a Geforce GTX 275.

 

 

The game runs fine, as long as there aren't other players on the screen. But as soon as things get busy, be it in PvE or PvP, even a few extra players make my FPS hit rock-bottom.

 

Now based on what the game delivers on screen, it's way too wasteful of PC resources.

 

A better system will probably help with your performance issues, but most of the balme lies with the game's terrible, terrible engine, that despite outdated visual, delivers sodding poor performance on even semi-decent PCs.

My video card is fine for playing the game. Its a HD6770. I know its the processor for sure cause its always using 80% and goes up to 100% while in PVP.

 

I wish it was as simple as upgrading my processor. But its only a AM2 socket. And at the moment Intel has AMD beat on performance. I have a motherboard and DDR3 memory lined up. And i was wondering if the i3 could handle PVP smoothly. Just wasnt sure how smooth. Cause at the moment with my current processor all i see during pvp is me leaping into battle and people jumping/jerking all over the place when they move, makes it really hard to target and get the job done.
