Hello,
So I'll start by saying this, I am not a computer wiz nor a genius. I know enough about computers to keep mine well tuned, safe, and maybe well-updated. Most of my knowledge gained has been through friends, youtube and websites like this. So, now I'll get straight to the point.
I recently upgraded my computer with another graphics card (specs at the bottom) to run the CrossFire setup. I did this to hopefully update my computer for the future installment of BF4 and COD:Ghosts. I have both games now and after installing them, I have run into some problems. BF4 runs pretty well and what I mean by pretty well is I can play it without having that grimace expression on my face when a graphical glitch occurs. Only times I really experience problems is during cinematic scenes. It skips, pauses, and glitches around which I am sure you all know can be really discouraging. COD on the other hand just doesn't run to the grade that I want it. It has all the glitches like BF4 (especially the cinematics and even in the opening logo passes) and it just runs like crap when high action framerates are required. Online play is horrible and I just find myself skipping across the screen, getting shot all willy-nilly (which might just be a latency problem). I am also a game designer and I believe it's time to start getting my computer in the right direction to support all my development software.
So, what I am trying to get at is I would love my games and future games like Destiny to run flawlessly. I have started to invest more and more in my comp and would really like to rely on it for future gaming purposes. I will post my current specs of my computer setup and if you could all please either give me upgrade options, criticism, or any other recommendations inlcuding software overclocking methods and etc; I'd greatly appreciate it. Remember I am not a computer "Genius" but I can follow direction to the "T".
I am open for anything and I am almost willing to spend anything just to get this comp the way I like it or even if you all have a good sense of great budgeted tech. PLEASE HELP ME ENJOY MY GAMES!!!
