New computer

blackhart123

Hi guys,

So I'm thinking of buying a new computer. I want to play crossfire on it (ofcourse) and while playing it I wanna be able to use a recording programm (like OBS) too without getting too much FPS drop.
Right now I've a laptop which I've around 200fps, but when I record I get 60fps and when I'm in a gunbattle it can even drop to like 30fps.

Any suggestions for a good computer (not a laptop btw)?

Have u tried a different recording program? I got an alright pc but even my game lags if i use a bad/wrong recorder.

A decent i5, a gtx 1050ti and 8gb ram should do it.

Recomend AMD Ryzen 5 2400G(Vega 11 integrated chip), AM4 MB and 8 or 16GB Ram DDR4 @ 3200Mhz. For Crossfire you dont need an dedicated graphic card.

I have an i5 , gtx 950, SSD, and 8G ram works great even while recording and screen sharing I get 150+ FPS

Oh and it’s a laptop lol

Something to look for :

CPU: i5 (quadcore) or even i7 if you can affort-it ( generation 7 or 8 )
RAM: 8 GB DDR4 (12 or 16 GB is best)
VIDEO: GTX 960 with minimal 2 GB GDDR5 @ 256 bits ( best is GTX 1080 with 4 GB GDDR5 @ 256 bits )
Storage: HDD big as much as you can ( additionally a separated SSD only for windows and favourite games will made the difference when you start-up the PC and run those games )

But if you need for online streaming - you need also an internet connection with minimal 5 Mb/s upload, no matter what PC you are using

Thank you very much guys, it's much appreciated!
This has helped me alot and I think I found a good pc. If you interested: https://www.coolblue.nl/product/792219/msi-nightblade-3-vr7rc-006eu.html or https://www.coolblue.nl/product/767046/hp-pavilion-570-p071nd.html
The two compared: https://www.coolblue.nl/vergelijken/792219/767046
What do you think?

I decided to go for the hp. The better video card of the msi was the only big difference between the 2 and I figured it wouldn't be worth the 300 extra euros.
Thanks for your input guys it's much appreciated!

Let me rephrase that: do you think GMs care about this game anymore, they are afraid of their job security and they know what is gonna happen really soon.

So, to answer your question: nobody really cares.

This is all their own fault.

Yeah... great.
