Building a new PC
Posted: 16 Apr 2020, 23:01
Hey all,
Currently I am playing ET on my self-built gaming PC back from 2008. It has horrible FPS, especially when there are a larger number of people playing on the server. I have overclocked the CPU a bit but it is very unstable, the whole system crashes during the most inconvenient moments. So I was wondering if any of you tech-savy people could help me out a bit. I know a thing or two about building PC's but technology moves very fast and I am not up-to-date with the current generations of GPU's, CPU's and RAM capacities.
Could you maybe list your system specs here and give a short summary on how it performs? I have seen horror-stories on other forums from people that built a 1000USD gaming PC but Enemy Territory doesn't take it well. I really only need this PC to do ET, some minor video editing and perhaps some of the newer games.
Thanks and best regards,
LAWY
PS: you can laugh at my current 2008 setup: I7 920 (3.8ghz unstable) on an Asus P6T deluxe, HD7950, 9GB ram, SSD and a 75hz/2ms Iiyama monitor. This gets me lags when 12> people are playing, it skips frames and I have to guess and predict where people will be
