Hey guys ok Ill cut to the chase, here my system specs;
MSI k9n6pgm2-v MoBo and AMD Athlon 64 x2 5800+ CPU 3.0Ghz
Hitachi Deskstar 160 GB HD - SATA 300
TRENDnet PCI Wireless card
4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz Ram
Nvidia GeForce XFX 9800gt Graphics card
and Thermaltake AMD socket am2 aluminum 92mm fan
Yes its a dinosaur, I know. But still ok specs I thought. Now I use the can you run it site to check my system against minimum and recommended specs. I meet minimum for Borderlands2, and can run it on even very high settings but it lags obviously. But even on the lowest settings it lags just enough to make aiming and moving accurately a real pain. When I played last I ran my system monitor in the background the capture what my system is doing while I play. Looks like the issue is my CPU which is basically maxed out the whole time. Is this just the best I can expect from my system even on lowest settings of a game I meet minimum reqs for? Also I try to play Fall out NV a game I should be able to max out and I get the same lag on that. Am I just missing something on my system?
