Question COD MW2 and FIFA 23 are lagging ?

HI All,

I have a gaming PC I built some years ago through a YouTube tutorial.

It lags when I play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Fifa 23. MW2 is playable if I lower all the graphics settings in game but FIFA 23 is unplayable whether I lower the in game graphics or Radeon graphics. Here are my specs:

Component	Gaming Build
Processor	AMD FX-6300 6-core CPU
Motherboard	MSI 970A-G43 AM3+
Memory	16GB ram
Graphics Card	AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB (Alternate: ASUS GTX 760)
Storage	Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM HDD
Case	Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply	Corsair CX 600 watt 80+ Bronze
Optical Drive	Pioneer Blu-ray Reader
OS	Windows 8.1 OEM
Peak Compute	2,690 GFLOPS

I am thinking of upgrading my graphics card but I'm not sure if this will fix the lag. Id like to ask what people in the forum suggest.

For FIFA23 your below the minimum specs and way below the recommanded specs. For AMD there's a minimum of Ryzen 5 1600 and a 4GB 1050Ti https://www.ea.com/nl-nl/games/fifa/fifa-23/buy/pc

The issue is your system is quite old now. You would unbalance the machine by putting a recent GPU in it. If you are able, my two cents would be to keep your existing machine as it is and build a new one from scratch with modern components. Your old machine could serve as a secondary/backup machine.

If building a new computer is not something you can do right now, then I would try Fifa 22 instead. I got it to play well enough on my laptop which has fairly low end specs.

However congratulations on getting Fifa 23 to work, that's more than I was able to do.
