PC Spec Advice

[Seezur_Undies]

So i am finally saying goodbye *sniffles a lil* to my gaming laptop and had a desktop built:

Gigabyte GTX 770 GDDR5-4GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP OC WINDFORCE 3X Graphics Card GV-N770OC-4GD

intel i7

8gb ram

My question is this, aside from server lag and that dreaded .3 second Positional Update, should my new PC be able to cut my latency/lag and raise my fps higher than the 12fps i get now?

Note: Sorry, due to forum restrictions i cant reply anymore today so i will edit the main post with them.

12fps that is very low. Have you done any tests with changes gfx settings and see if it increases?

Not yet, it wont be up til the latest friday

You should be good. Are you using high bandwidth programs (such as 3D rendering or Premiere)? If not then an i7 chip is pretty moot as games don't use hyperthreading; you can do what i did: by a top line i5 chip and save approx 100 notes on your CPU price while getting the same performance.

Actualy going to to school for gaming design, that is why i went with an i7, else i would have went with an i5

You should probably see FPS of around 60 or even 70+ with that card (highest settings obviously), FATES will obviously bring it down but it should hold its own very well. My 560ti is hovering around 50fps and dips under 30 at busy FATES.

Suffice to say your new PC should destroy this game.

*does the happy Lala dance*

I only have a two year old system, i7, 16gb ram , GTX570 and it runs great

Try setting your graphics to default standard and see if it helps.

Your system seems better than mine, so I have no idea otherwise

Not my current system, one i am having built and will be here tomorrow or friday
