enad Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 With the right combination of Enzyte-engorged graphics card, 8 Gigs of RAM, and possibly an SSD drive would an Athlon II X4 645 (3.1 GHz) processor with 2 MB of L2 cache be adequate for modern PC gaming?
Still Me Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 depends...what are you trying to play? I think the ram would become an issue at some point
PhilosipherStoned Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 You'd have to find someone that's familiar with that specific processor, or others like it in the brand. When I was building my pc, and looking around and stuff everybody seems to insist on intel processors so that's what I got. I think my laptop had some kind of pentium which was decent when I bought it.

If I find myself in a position where I have to change out the motherboard I think I'm just going to raise the white flag and buy a new tower.

I think I just have 8 in my pc and I use it to make music with WAV files, which are enormous compared to mp3 files and most other sound files. I often don't compress them either.. I've played SWTOR, and GDMO, as well as Tera, and some other MMO's with no issues, but yeah.. I made sure my motherboard had space for more ram.. I don't see anybody needing more than 16 anyway.
Sieg67 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 That Athlon is a pretty low end processor. At least for today's standards, anyway. An SSD doesn't make any difference except for load times. In other words, once the game is loaded, you won't notice a difference. I have no idea what your graphics card is so I have no input for that. 8 gigs of RAM is alright but I always recommend at least 16 gigs just to be on the safe side. Given what I you gave us to work with, I wouldn't count on that for high end gaming.
