Should I upgrade?

[vitadrink]

My rig is on the right hand side of the chat box. When I am playing titanfall, I will have frame rate issues that would render the whole match impossible to play. Apparently, this only applies to certain maps, but on Odessey and the one with the desert, I will definitely have frame rate issues and it just stays like that throughout the whole game.

Is it my system can't keep up with the graphics of the game? I am playing on the 1280 x 960 and the lowest possible settings. I still got this issue.

If you want to upgrade, it is the whole rig. Not just the GPU.

 

[vitadrink]

Can you roughly recommend me some parts so I can consider upgrading?

 

[Commentz]

Letting us know your budget would be better, so we know what to recommend.

 

[darkmatt]

gfx and processor needs upgrading.

 

[vitadrink]

If its only GPU, processor and MB, maybe about 500-600 give or take?

 

[jtjt00]

Including power supply if beyond 3 years old.

 

[vitadrink]

Most of my parts just turned 4 years old 2 days ago.

i think 600 is still too little for gpu+mb for titanfall, but your resolution is really low, need to ask the other bros for confirmation

r9 270 + i5 4440 + msi b85m g43?
if too expensive can swap out for 750ti but i think might not be able to play max settings

 

[thegamer1907]

for 1080p, can refer to this:

if you can stretch your budget by abit, a pretty suitable combination would be:
i5 3350p and Asrock b75m dgs - $27X
leadtek gtx760 - $36X

else replace gtx760 with a cheaper R9 270X

 

[Hailgod]

Thats 1920x1080. He is running on 1280x960.
A r9 270 is more than enough. 750ti should be sufficient

 

[thegamer1907]

yeah but his display is 24" 1080p. i think if upgrading why not just get something around his budget, if possible, to play at highest resolution mah.

 

[vitadrink]

Yes, if possible I would like to bump up the resolution for the game.
Also, is it recommended to upgrade PSU?

 

[shadow84]

His monitor is 1080p, but he purposely run at 1280 x 960 for his games?

 

[Hailgod]

Thats a weird ass resolution to be running at. I thought 1366x768 would be less gpu intensive + look nicer being 16:9..

 

[thegamer1907]

yeah, for once, i thought he was on a laptop haha. that looked more like a laptop or tablet resolution

 

[shadow84]

Aspect ratio is 1.333333 or 4:3 for 1280 x 960. Lol, really old school aspect ratio sia...

 

[Hailgod]

if its that bad, can i say that titanfall is worth more money than his GPU?

 

[vitadrink]

I bump my resolution low for the game because I thought that would help me solve the FPS issue I have.
