I recently got a 17" flatscreen monitor for my computer (used to have an old 15"), anyways i play world of warcraft, and after i got this new monitor i had to put the resolution up from 800x600 to 1280x1024...
I used to get about 20-30fps on average with on 800x600, but now at higher resolution i can only get like 9-15fps and gameplay is VERY choppy.
Currently the video card i have is:
PNY Verto GeForce FX 5500 128MB DDR AGP Graphics Card
And my computer specs are:
Hp Pavilion 753n
pentium 4, 2.53 ghz, 512mb ram
power supply: 250w
I am having difficulty in finding something better that will work with my current power supply.. What would be the best thing to get, to improve game performance?
Also where does video memory and clock speed play into the picture? I've noticed that the higher the clock speed is, the higher the power supply requirements are...
any help would be great.. thanks
