So I spent all this money...

Posted by nickkos on Feb. 12, 2007, 8:52 p.m.

I spent 400$ to build a system for the TES game Oblivion….and I can't get an fps rate higher than 30….look at my specs

AMD 64 3200+ W/ PCI express MOBO 100$

512MB RAM 80$

350 Watt PSU 40$

ATI radeon 330/550 hypermemory 90$ (dont ever buy this card it sux)

80GB HD Faaaast seek time 40$

SoundBlaster 1600 20$

ZOMFG im sooooooo MAD!!!!

I need to spend an extra 80$ to make oblivion playable….and probably another 40…to get the upgrade to run….due to my 350 watt psu.

Im only 15….i dont have that much money….anyone got any ideas on what i can do?

than those 99% of people are missing out…not only that they should probably kill themselves!

Umm… How about doing jobs around the neighborhood to earn money? Or making a game and selling it at your school?

Your video card and RAM could really use an upgrade. =P

Not even the ram, just the video card. get the nVidia 8600?? I think its the 8600 whatever its a nVidia directx 10 compatable card that has 512 memory and only costs $180

Geez, you really don't know much about building rigs, do you?

The obvious thing that everyone will throw out is that you need more ram… but I'll skip over that.

The 350w power supply might need to be replaced, because you need a new video card pronto. Any Radeon above an X1600 and any geForce card about the 7600 should be fine for Oblivion.

This is basic stuff, kid. You should have consulted someone that knew what they were doing.

try to return the gfx card, and buy this from bestbuy, it's better than what you have at least:

It's PCI, but it works, I can play CS:S with a perfect framerate, so I guess it should work for Oblivion.

So most of the people in most of the developing/undeveloped countries should kill themselves?Interesting…
