Hi, ive recently built my own computer below are the specs:
Operating System- Windows 7 64bit, ultimate
Processor - Intel (R) core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz
RAM - 8gig DDR3
Graphics Card - 1GB Sapphire HD 5450 , PCI-E 2.1(x16), 1600MHz GDDR3, GPU 650MHz, 80 Cores, D-Sub/ DL DVI-I/ HDMI
Harddrive - 1TB sata
Monitor - 24inch samsung B2430H - runs the game at 1900x1200
I am very happy with my computer and its very quick but I am having problems with wow (world of warcraft, yes I know its sad lol). I would have thought my computer could run at ultra graphics settings but the most it will go is "fair". At low settings I have an fps of around 150+ at fair I have around 30. At ultra settings I have 16, I am very confused as to why this is happening and when I seem to move the frame rate drops further so I have a constant lag feeling even though the ms is fine. My last computer could run ultra but was not as good (cant remember specs but it was old with only 4gig ram) but could run ultra with very good fps. My old monitor was 18inch and I don't know if that affects anything.
A few general questions I have is:
Should my computer be capable of running higher settings?
Am I missing a vital component?
Do I need to upgrade my graphics card? if so what should I get?
Last thing is there anything I can do to improve the fps?
Could this be CPU overstress?
Thank you for reading this long and confusing post lol, any feedback will be well appreciated
