My cpu is crappy or what?!

[Limpo]

Hello,i have Dell Optiplex 755 PC,i upgraded GPU to Powercolor HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 , and i have Core 2 Duo E4500 and 6 GB DDR2 RAM, so every "new" game from 2011-13 i install it goes laggy ,for example one older game GTA IV laggs when i drive and look around etc. and in every game when i look around it start to lagg (CPU is loading textures or something) i dont know what to do ,what is problem ???? ( i play on 1680x1050 ,and when i set texture quality to low and resolution 1024x768 ,i have the same problem in GTA, i tried to disable event log and collector and nothing helps)..

Here is my spec

Well not sure what you were expecting on old hardware with a notoriously badly optimized game with GTA 4. You need to upgrade your hardware. The 7750 is also an entry level GPU.

Simply your entire system is obsolete.

I have a similar build currently (same processor overclocked to hell, same gpu and more ram)

I can play most older games at high settings but anything from the last 3-5 years it will lag a lot even at low settings.

The solution would be to build a new pc. (which is what I'm doing myself)

Yea that CPU is done...
I believe Intel has some quad cores that will fit in your MoBo(775). But you'd be better of with a full MoBo and CPU upgrade.
Budget?

I just upgraded from a homebuilt rig that was similar and yes it is pretty lowly. You have a better GPU than I had but my processor was a bit better. That processor is a pretty large bottleneck, and as mentioned that is a pretty lowly GPU as well. It should have helped some but if you want to game it is time for an upgrade pretty soon.

Thanks to all,i'll try with better cpu,i dont have enough money for new pc ..
@Master-flaw
Yeah i read somewhere that i can upgrade it to Quad Core Q6600

AND what do you think will Quad Core cpu help a little bit?

 

[Supahos]

looks like a C2Q 6700 is your best bet... http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_755_techspecs.pdf Page 10

 

[Limpo]

Yeah,thanks man, and will this choice help little?

That will do...
I would call the manufacturer to find out if you need a BIOS upgrade for it...note that you may not be able to as those OEM boards can be wrapped pretty tight...

I'd just go for an AMD 6 core and MoBo for cheap solution.

Even the quad core of the Core 2's are at best borderline obsolete. It will be better than what you have now but not much better. Given that your processor is old and the video card is entry level you really would be better of just doing a new build. Putting more money into that computer would just be a waste of money.

 

[Master-flaw]

double post...:/

@rds1220
Ok,can you give me then some solid build?

@Master-flaw
Yeah i upgraded bios

 

[rds1220]

Well overall how much do you want to spend that will be the biggest thing.

 

[Limpo]

@rds1220
I don't know , give me some best solution for 500€ if it's possible

 

[rds1220]

Someone is going to have to help with the translation I'm not sure what that is in US dollars.

 

[Limpo]

Oh sorry, thats 687USD i think

 

[Supahos]

I more need a country as VAT taxes can make a pretty big difference. You can't just convert a USD built to euros as the pricing structure is really goofy in some countries (some the 6100 is less than half the price of a 6300 for example)

 

[rds1220]

That is true but we can get a pretty good idea at least. Problem is that if it is between 650 750 dollars it doesn't give a lot of room especially since there doesn't seem to be anything he can carry over from the old computer.

Reusing the Case, Optical drive, and possibly HD can help a lot. but a 233 gb hd is probably nothing I would carry over, the Case/Optical drives saves 50 or 60 bucks vs a bare minimum build.

Are you going to need a copy of windows for this?

 

[Supahos]

Are you going to need a copy of windows for this?

Good question never noticed that it was an OLD C2D running on Win 8.1 might have recently bought a copy that could be reused?

 

[rds1220]

It depends. If the case is standard ATX then yes it can be re-used. Dell has been very anal in the past though by creating a lot of proprietary stuff one being special cases that can only fit their motherboard. The mountings won't line up with a standard ATX motherboard if that is the case. As for the HDD and optical drive again it depends. Yes he can as long as both are SATA and not IDE.

 

[Limpo]

Ok then nothing,if i make some spec i will post here..and windows 8.1 is running great on my comp,better than windows 7

 

[logainofhades]

If you reuse your HDD, optical drive, and windows, you could probably go with something like this. I would recommend getting a better HDD when you can, though.
