muamshai Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Currently I have AMD X6 1055T overclocked to 3.51 GHz Gprahics card is GTX 460 and memory is 4GB So should I should get a new GPU and increase memory or overhaul the whole system to Intel? Titles I play are DCS and ArmA Bonus question: What rig developers use for this game?

joey45 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Their rig which they make the game on is probably a work station... Ie a very expensive box of tricks.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Gerg Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 How much do you want to spend? Probably a gfx and memory upgrade would help the most. The cpu you have isnt too far behind AMD newer cpu performance but the GTX 460 is kinda weak for decent fps in games(depending on resolution), another 4GB ram would help too. A r9 270x and 4GB ram would be decent upgrade for under £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENO Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'd be VERY cautious recommending AMD GPUs for DCS... I know some people have success with them but overall the NVIDIA GPUs are prefered. What about with EDGE? Well, we're not there yet and it's anyone's guess... but NVIDIA is currently the safer choice hands down. But generally, the recommendation for the "upgrade" is sound IMO- The proc seems okay which means the mobo is recent enough to show gains with the improved GPU (whatever it ends up being... I just think NVIDIA is a better choice) and a 4gig RAM upgrade. The other consideration is SSD... if you don't already have one. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koekemoeroetoe Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 muamshai, what budget for upgrades do you have?

muamshai Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks guys for the replies. Actually I am a bit reluctant for a major upgrade as I might be moving away to another country or even continent for good. And carrying that stuff might be a bit of pain in the rear end. Selling it might not give even 50% of the price after a few months of usage either. The budget is 500€ give or take.

With that budget I'd go for a SSD + RAM upgrade, would leave the GPU for what it is. Don't know the prices in your country, here in the Netherlands a SSD + RAM upgrade can be achieved for about €150 - €200 (so roughly $200 - $300) Intel i9 10850k | Noctua NH-U12A | Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite AC | Patriot Viper Steel 64gb @3600MT/s | ASUS TUF RX 7900 XTX OC | Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
