Hello there, I am hoping that someone can give me some advice to how I proceed with a small upgrade - and more importantly what the problem is with my PC.
As you can see from my sig, its not exactly a rocket fueled PC - but if im honest its not as imprtant to me as it once was.
Im trying to play Crysis 2 (lol is that the problem?) but for all the beauty of the graphics, everthing grinds to a halt as soon theres any action - infact prior to typing this I just spent an hour in bullet time and I only fired three shots.
So do I need a better GPX card or more RAM?
I seem to remember that the GPX card only has 256MB onboard - and borrows the other 756 from the PC - but I cant find anything to confirm that.
Im also only running on 2GB of OCZ 6400 - potentially less if the GPX card is borrowing almost half.
I have been looking at the Twin Corsair and also the Kingston 8500, tho one is twice the price of the other, why? Also would running 4 GB (ie two pairs) work in the same way? At the price they are I'd only consider buying two pairs of the kingston, so IF the solution is to buy a new card, what would be a good choice?
Many thanks for you time, hopefully ive not left any important information out, but if I have let me know and I'll add it in ASAP.
