Battlefield 4 Good news!

[RainFire432]

So I finally managed to land a job, which means, I will be able to afford more RAM and possibly a SSD. Which means no more running BF4 at 30-50 something FPS

just fyi ram + ssd doesnt mean more frames...cpu and gpu are the major factors.

 

[RainFire432]

Well, at any rate, I do need to speed my game up. Currently when I run the game, my RAM usage shoots to about 85%. As for the SSD, I really just want a reliable drive to store system files on and not use up so much space for my HDD. The cpu and gpu are a project for another time, still doing research on those 2

What kind of job did you land? +Very nice.

Out of curiosity what is your setup?
Also congratz!

 

[RainFire432]

Thanks everyone!

Also Wize right now my system config is:

Model: Alienware X51
Processor:Intel core i3 [email protected] GHz
Memory: 6GB RAM
Hard Drive: 1 TB HDD
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 545
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 bit

Upgrading your RAM will not help very much. It is your GT 545 and your i3 that is slowing you down.

yea, i would suggest getting a i5 and getting a better card (thatll fit ofcorse)

Well that is true, but it will mean he can spawn in as one of the first people and then grab the best vehicles.

Yeah, right now it usually takes a couple minutes to load into any map. I know in Op Locker, by the time I can actually get in and spawn, points A/E are usually capped. I appreciate all the input and will most likely buy all my upgrades at once, that is..once I can actually afford all that. I figure, I'll just upgrade everything, RAM, add a SSD, new cpu, gpu, and psu. Again thanks everyone!

Aside from a new motherboard that's pretty much a new computer.

30 - 50 FPS? Count yourself lucky, try 20 - 30 FPS

lol, poor insanity, where have you been? we haven't seen you playing for months. I need to hear more about weird New Zealand stuff that I don't actually need to know.

good choice :thumbup:

SSD won't increase FPS, just loading times! It may not even be more reliable- You still need to backup.

However, you're going to have killer startup times and general performance.

 

[RainFire432]

30 - 50 FPS? Count yourself lucky, try 20 - 30 FPS

Haha yeah, on average my frames are around 30-40, occasionally they'll shoot up to 60, but then drop to around 20-30 after a short time of 60.

Sushi, it's like I said, I'd just add the SSD for my system files to give my HDD some extra space and ease up the strain that it goes through.

Putty, that's what I'm going for lol, I may even end up getting a new mother board so I can OC the cpu and gpu if I wanted to
