Hi , ive recently started noticing performance issues with my PC and would like some help pin pointing what it could be so I can make the necessary upgrades.
My problem is on certain games i.e Moto Gp 07 and mass effect ive noticed the graphics seem jumpy especially on pan shots.
On Moto GP its mainly the title screens before the actual races and the view of the paddock etc.Once the race starts its jumpy for a few seconds and then plays fine.
On mass effect ill be running but the animation isnt smooth , it gets quite jumpy at times.
Here is my current spec:
Pentium 4 , 3.06ghz
1.5gb Ram
Nvidia Geforce 7600gt DDR3 PCI-E 256MB
All my drivers are up to date etc.
I recently updated my graphics card from a crappy onboard ATI card to the Geforce 7600gt about 6 months ago , the cost the best part of 100 quid and already seems dated !
Any advice on what to upgrade and recommended products , as well as an approximate cost for a processor upgrade which will probably involve a new motherboard (maybe new Ram ? ) would be great.
I can upgrade most things myself but I think ill leave the processor to a professional unless its really easy and hassle free.
Id like to achieve really smooth frame rates , good performance and 360/ps3 graphics or better if thats possible ?
Ive got around £900 to spend but obviously the more dosh left over the better !
Cheers.
