Buying a new graphics card - (read first post)
in Desktops ·
Guys, I need some help here. I finally picked up Total War after waiting months for it to drop, but man, this thing is a resource hog. It’s running like garbage—the graphics are stuttering constantly, and I can't even get through the campaign without everything falling apart. Here’s what I'm running:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4
Socket 478mPGA package.
Clocked in at 3000 MHz, I guess.
It's made by ASUSTeK Computer INC.
model : p4p8000-x siz : 256 MBytes
model : p4p8000-x siz : 256 MBytes
Graphics interface: AGP version 3.0. I guess.
It's just a GeForce FX 5200.
The game needs the following:
OS: Windows XP (Service Pack 2) or Vista... I guess.
You're gonna need at least a 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium or maybe an AMD Athlon to get this thing running. I guess.
RAM: 1 GB, plus about 15 GB of free space. I guess.
Graphics card: 256 MB, needs to support DirectX 9.0 (shader model 2.0), I guess.
Alright, here's everything I've got. I'm leaning towards thinking the graphics card is the culprit, but some people are telling me it might be the processor instead. Honestly, I don't know. Any advice on what I should actually do?
