Berken Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi friends, my computer is very old. I need a new computer. What would you recommend as a Ram, Processor and VRAM Card for Leadwerks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Depends on how much money you want to spend. The only suggestion I have is to get an Nvidia card over AMD because of the issues AMD users have had for what seems like forever now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berken Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Nvidia is very expensive in my country(Turkey). My salary is 2000₺ (570$). But Nvidia cards 1000-1500₺. So, I can only buy AMD. Is this system good? ; 8 GB DDR4 RAM Amd Athlon x4 860k 3.7 ghz Processor Asus Radeon R7 240 4G OC VRAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggrorJorn Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 You have very colorful posts 8GB of ram is more than plenty. Graphics card looks good as well. For 1080p you are okay, going above that, you might run in to performance issues or you have to run on the lowest settings. CPU is good to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyj Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I would buy an AMD APU instead of an R7 240. It would be cheaper overall. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N85343534 Way better graphics performance. $50 cheaper. DDR4 will NOT work on AMD processors. You need DDR3. 8 gigs is plenty for most users. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berken Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I found this -> http://urun.n11.com/masaustu-bilgisayar/amd-a10-4-cekirdek-8gb-ram320-gb4gb-ek-kartigta5-oyun-bilgis-P123725149?cid=604001 Is this good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehankinator Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If you are going to buy an AMD CPU, I'd wait a few months. AMD is going to be launching new line of CPUs that, if you believe the rumors will be significantly better than their current lineup. The AMD GPUs have had rocky support with leadwerks in the past but for the last 6 months or so(maybe more?) I've had no problems with mine(R9 380). AMD has really improved their driver support recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 This is a pretty good deal. It's not top of the line, but you don't really need top-of-the-line anymore: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-amd-radeon-rx-460-4-gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card/5549901.p?skuId=5549901&ref=212&loc=1&ksid=db702dac-347d-476d-9116-9edf9316ee38&ksprof_id=8&ksaffcode=pg199154&ksdevice=c&lsft=ref:212,loc:2 I guess it would help to know what your current specs are? It's always cheaper to just upgrade the GPU rather than buy a whole new computer. 1 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Add two gigs of RAM and a new GPU and you will be good. I would upgrade to a 64-bit OS as well. 1 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

nick.ace Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I like Marty's suggestion if you're on a budget, but AMD products do tend to be less energy efficient if that's a concern, but APUs should be more energy efficient. I would upgrade your CPU if you can though. Aside from the low clock speed (2.5 GHz) and being dual cores, your current CPU has a much higher transistor size than current CPUs. This is a good, but very technical answer on why that matters: http://superuser.com/questions/808776/whats-the-difference-between-mobile-and-desktop-processors Also, keep in mind that modern CPUs are very complex, and the architectural changes in each manufacturing generation can be very large. The only suggestion I have is to get an Nvidia card over AMD because of the issues AMD users have had for what seems like forever now. I disagree with this. If AMD drivers are problematic, then wouldn't it be better to develop your game on that by that logic so that you can find bugs before your users do?
