So my question is, what r some of the common reasons that cause the low fps (both game and computer)? I heard there r many ways I can tweak my computer to make it perform better but can you guys please give me some directions as what to search for? Maybe some helpful websites I can read?
My specs r in my sig.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance!!
Be more specific about the video card. It's probably the bottleneck in your rig. This game eats as much video memory as it can get. As an example, in my machine while playing ClOD the vid memory use is >2500 MB out of 3 GB.
If you have less than 1 GB of video ram (recommended: 1.5-2 GB), your performances will be very poor.
If you are unsure, download MSI Afterburner and check the in-game memory use.

Cheers,
Insuber
