Hello everyone,
Long time lurker, first time posting. Thanks for all you guys do, I have fixed a lot of problems reading these forums.
I have attached an image of my current pc specs. I took my wife's old office computer, put in a power 650w power supply and a 1gb Ati radeon HD 6850 gpu I had laying around in it.
I know it is a far cry from a gaming PC, but I only care to run a couple of racing sims. Mainly; Project Cars 1, maybe 2, Nascar 15, and if at all possible iracing. I have Project Cars 1 installed right now and it runs, even with trackir running in the background. It is on medium settings, and that is good enough for me. I do however get drops in framerates occasionally when many cars are on the screen, for instance at the start. It is playable, but I wouldn't mind a bit smoother gameplay.
Finally my question, considering I know very little about motherboards and processors and ram. Is there any upgrades that can help this system, short of buying a whole new motherboard and processor and building a new system?
Thanks in advance. I realize that the photo doesn't specify the motherboard model, I will have the pc open tonight, and I will see if I can find out anymore info.
