WHAT DOES THIS COMP NEED TO RUN 60FPS IN GAMES?

[beers]

That one that is already in your PC is kind of slow, it's DDR3 1600 with CL11 .

The one you were looking at in the best buy link is a 2x4GB kit. If you went that route it'd be better to replace the stick that's in there already.

Something like this should give you a few extra FPS

ok a few questions, if i went with my route (the 2x4gb) would i remove my current stick and just install the 2x4gb?

what is the difference between the 2x4gb and the one link you posted?

 

[jfed2988]

can i just get two of these? http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=1c3d3f8a9c88a35b3d352f0f1e34fbefen02

Depending where you are in TO, you may want to order from Newegg and then pickup from the brand spanking new HYbrid Center in Richmond Hill. You can grab a dual channel kit of 4GBx2 G-Skill for like $49.99 + tax, and if you pick it up, no shipping charge!

I've been there a few times, including their recent grand opening, its pretty handy!!

I'd remove it. 2400 MHz RAM is only a dollar or two more than 1866 so you might as well get the faster kit.

Using it in conjunction with the current stick will drag the frequency down to 1600.

I'd remove the current one, and install the fresh dual channel kit, depending on motherboard you use slot 1 & 3 or 2 & 4

I still say you'll need a dedicated card but you'll figure that out after the ram upgrade.

I agree, but the real question is how much extra FPS can he get for $45-50 vs. a new PSU and a card that's >$100 by itself

This is shot of my backup PC, notice I'm using just channel 2 & 4 (see yellow circle) If it isn't printed on your motherboard, check the manual!

 

[jfed2988]

yea im sure i would need a grapgics card... and will look into it eventual;ly, just wanted a cheap upgrade from what im working with now, which i can still play games on, so i assume what ever upgrade i can get for 50$ will go a long way for me. in the future i will definitely look into a good graphics card

im pretty curious myself, and if after the ram upgrade i can get 30fps constantly ill be happy, anything more than that is a bonus... the title of this is misleading because im asking for 60fps, but i dont care as long as the game is better than it is now, and from what i gather from you guys the ram will make a difference, so ill see what that does n let yall know... i screwed up my order though and got it for delivery so i guess ill let you guys know in a week or so lol

You can likely cancel and re-order, there's a lead time before they ship it out.

You can cancel or contact customer support, but honestly if your that close to the hybrid centre - that is where they ship from anyhow for Ontario, I live near Kitchener/Waterloo in a little village and I regularly get my orders in 1-3 days

 

[jfed2988]

yea apparently they dont allow you to change to pick up, but yea i am much closer than you are so it should be here in a few days then i guess.
