Hey guys, I have an upgraded HP Workstation xw8200, and here are my specs:
- Two single-threaded Intel Xeon 3.0 GHZ processors
- 4GB RAM (only 3.25GB usable due to only having 32-bit Windows XP)
- ATI Radeon HD6850 1024MB
I can play many graphically demanding games currently, but some of the latest games that have come out are unplayable for me even at the lowest graphics settings. I currently play War Thunder a lot (amazing F2P combat flight sim), and get about 20FPS on average with medium graphics settings, which is great, but not optimal. I also want to play Planetside 2 as unoptimized as it is, but my CPU is bottlenecking me badly and I get 10 FPS max in most battles with the lowest graphics settings. Is there any way to squeeze out more performance without exceeding a budget of about $200? I'm looking at replacing my CPU's with some of the better Xeons out there, but I'm not sure if that's even possible or if they're built in to the MOBO. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
