QUOTE(VirginGreen @ Oct 23 2013, 02:34 PM) Hey all the experts out there, Ok I didnt manage to read every single comment here, but I think many of you guys get it wrong. I am not so good with desktop customization, so i need some opinions currently i am using Intel i3 530 with 4GB RAM and while i am playing The Sims 3 (with 17 Expansions in it), it loading very slow.. i thought i3 530 should able to support it? really slow... i am thinking is it possible if i just upgrade my processor to i5 or i7, will it boost the performance to better? only processor, without changing the motherboard, casing, and anything else? (because my CPU parts all still in good shape) or i need to upgrade processor and anything else? in order to boost gaming performance, which one matters? processor right? hoping to get something less that RM1000 - RM1500 though.. limited budget thanks 1) The sims 3 with 17 expansions has the size about 21-23Gb in size (if not mistaken), which will take a lot of time loading. My PC loads GTA 4 in 20 seconds, but loads TS3 with all expansion in 3-5 minutes. 2) If you have 4gb ram, you need to have Windows 64bit version! If you use 32bit, some of the ram may not be usable, not to mention if you upgrade the ram. To check how much ram you actually have in 32bit windows, check under System properties, it will be written there 4.00gb (x.xxgb usable). 3)Upgrading your graphic card will help increasing the FPS in game, NOT REDUCING THE LOADING TIME. As for loading time, yes upgrading processor and ram might help (provided you have 64bit windows) , but you cant expect a huge improvement, as I said, the game is too big and everything is loaded at once. Afterall i dont think there is any upgrade can make the loading time greatly reduced |
