Hello.

Recently I asked here if my computer could run well Guild Wars 2 and someone told me that it should run at 40 FPS. So I bought the game and the game runs poorly, like 10-20 FPS.

I have the exact same problem with other online games like APB reloaded, GUNZ 2, League of Legends, etc. I mean I can run Mass effect 3 at maximum or The Witcher 2 with fairly high settings and I can't run League of Legends smoothly? It's weird 😛

Normally the FPS drops when other player come near me.

This are my PC specifications:

Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
RAM: 8 GB
OS: WIndows 7 64 bits

Any idea why that could happen?

Thanks.
 
I don't know very well how to upgrade my computer so I usually asked this sort of things to a computer technician that work where I usually buy hardware and he told me that to upgrade my CPU I have to upgrade my motherboard aswell.

I Forgot to mention my motherboard model, It's an Asrock N68-VS3 FX.

Is it really necessary to change the motherboard?
 
It says it does support 8 core cpus, however it just says "8 core" cpu on Asrocks website. So I don't know if you can only use the older bulldozer octo core cpus (FX 81xx) or the newer piledriver octo core cpus (FX 83xx).

I would go with what your tech says, since I don't know that mobo and it supports the AMD Phenom cpus which means it's a really old motherboard.
