xTrimmZ Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 So, I'm playing with these specs: Intel Pentium dual-core @2.80 ghz Nvidia geforce 8600gt I get an fps of around 30 with everything set to low/off. I'm on a tight budget, so I'll have to upgrade one at a time. Which upgrade would give me the biggest performance increase? Gfx or CPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ACorpse Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Well you'd likely have to replace motherboard and ram as well if you wanted to upgrade your CPU. Is an upgrade still feasible if you need to buy all 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xTrimmZ Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Maybe, depends though. My processor uses the LGA775 socket, so if I can find a better one that's compatible it won't be 100% necessary to get a new mobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SanguineSavant Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 A friend of mine went to a 970 not long ago. He said he couldn't afford a 980 because it was about half a grand. He has my sympathies, but not my 980.:Trollface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
