Black Ops 2...what would you upgrade first?

[thartman06]

Hey all...a lot of these threads on here it seems. I'm getting some low FPS while playing Black Ops 2 online...around 60 and in some action it drops to 30!!! I lowered my settings down and it only goes up by a few. Around 60 and drops to about 40. So I was wondering what I needed to upgrade...here's my system:


AMD Phenom II x4 @ 3.4 GHz Black edition
8 gigs of DDR3 (PC3 12800)
ATI Radeon HD 5770 by HIS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161310

Any advice would be awesome!! Thanks everyone!!!

I just went to the systmerequirementslab website and I'm waaaaay past minimum requirements. It seems to stutter while shooting. Maybe it's not my system?

Hi

Upgrade the OLD GPU...

All the best Brett

Upgrade the graphics card. Something like the HD7770 will give more of a kick if you're on a budget. GTX660ti if you have more money.

Thanks for the responses, guys!!

Yeah I figured the time was coming to upgrade my GPU...is that 660ti worth the money? I feel like I need to do the upgrade right haha.

All I play is COD since I don't have much time anymore to game. But I'd really like to play it in 1080p without scaling it back.

How about the HD7870?

That's a really good article...looks like the 660ti would be my best option for the price
