MechWarrior Online Recommended System Spec:
CPU: Core i3-2500 / AMD Athlon II X4 650
GPU:GeForce GTX 285 / Radeon HD 5830
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 7 SP-1 64-Bit
DirectX: DX9
HDD Space: 8 GB
And realized my system is almost there, yet I have to play everything on minimal settings to get decent frame rate (20-40) in game... so I wanted to check here with some more knowledgable people: where's the bottleneck in my system? what do I upgrade to run MWO on high(est) settings?
My Rig:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core Processor AM3 3.4GHZ 8MB Cache 125W 45NM
GPU: Powercolor Radeon HD 5770 PCs 875MHZ 1GB 4.9GHZ GDDR5 2XDVI HDMI DP DIRECTX11 PCI-E
RAM: 4 GB - G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Memory
OS: Windows 7 SP-1 64-Bit
Looking at the above, my CPU is above requirements... GPU, almost... so the short fall has to be that I only have 4GB ram?
With that in mind, its $45 to get 4 more GB of the same ram... or I could by new 2x4GB for $93... don't really want to shell out much more money on this computer as I'll probably get a new one in a couple of years... am I likely to see better performance with the 2x4GB setup vs 4x2GB?
