Sugestions...!

Hi guys! I like very much Fallout New Vegas but my PC can't run it smoothly even at medium setings. I mean all work fine, no lag or framerate drop.....only my character walks very...very slow, and when i talk to an NPC or enter VATS the arrow is moving slow and lags a bit. My specs are: CPU AMD Athlon II X3 450 (3,2 GHz), GPU nVidia GT220, 2Gbs of DDR2 RAM. What should i do to improve performance aside from closing programs....setting on High or Realtime priority? Thanks!

I think you might want to get 4GB Ram. I really can't see how it should be the graphics card or CPU...

 

System demand:

OS: Windows 7/Vista/XP

Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz

Memory: 2GB RAM

Hard Disk Space: 10GB free space

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6 series, ATI 1300XT series

Thanks for the advice!

Extra memory will help some, but you'd be better off looking at a GPU upgrade. The GT220 are kind of weak for gaming (think nVidia 9500 series cards).

What Operating System?

 

First, scan your computer with utilities such as Malwarebytes to make sure you don't have an uninvited guest hogging up resources. Then run a program called CCleaner to help clean the gunk out of your computer. Then defrag your hard drive (Also, if your boot drive is more than 50% full, that will affect your performance).

 

Secondly, upgrade your graphics card. This may, depending on which graphics card you get and also on the spec of your existing computer, require a power supply replacement. I would recommend nothing less than a GTX 260 for gaming. This, after cleaning up your computer, is where you will see the biggest performance gain in your games.

 

Thirdly, upgrade your RAM to at least 4 GB. You will see system wide performance increases with this, not just in games.

I think, you don't need additional memory, your memory is enough for New Vegas (had been tested by developer). Maybe upgrade your GPU, but what resolution you use?. Try with lower resolution and upgrade your GPU driver.

Setting high or realtime was not recommended, better you do overclock your CPU or memory timing.
