  • How to improve my computer's game performance?

    I've been playing a game on Steam lately called Natural Selection 2, and I've noticed that with every update they make, they improve the graphics and quality more, and my performance gets worse. My FPS drops to around 5 frames per second every time I enter an area with a lot of people, and I'm forced to minimize all my graphics options. I would like to improve my performance, and the best three ways I can think of are to increase my computer's RAM, buy a better graphics card, or increase my CPU. However, I have a fairly large amount of RAM (Several megabytes) and I can easily increase that if needed. However, I am not sure if it would be better to buy a new graphics card, or try to increase my CPU somehow. And if I should buy a new graphics card, which should I buy? Or if I should increase my CPU, how would I go about doing that? Please, only answer if you have any helpful suggestions. My OS is windows 7.

  • What graphics card should I get?

    My games have been running slow lately, and I'm looking to get a new graphics card. I don't need anything really expensive, but something that can still run big games like skyrim and saint's row without dropping my framerate ridiculously. My pricerange is between 100-300 dollars.

  • How can I improve my overall computer performance?

    My O.S. is windows 64, and I have a somewhat old computer, and lately it just can't handle a lot of the games I play. It used to be able to run anything, but now it seems like even simple things cause my framerate to drop immensely and the game slows down. I recently purchased Saint's Row: The Third on Steam, and it runs ridiculously slow in areas with a lot of enemies, but it runs a bit faster when I look down at the ground so they aren't on-screen. I just want to know what I should do to improve this kind of problem. Is it my graphics card, or something else specific, or is my computer just too old and needs to hit the garbage heap? Please only answer if you have something helpful to say.

  • What is a good snappy comeback to say to a Christian?

    Recently, some old men have started standing outside of our school at the end of the school day and are handing out copies of the new testament to anyone who will take one. I am extremely annoyed, and I don't think they should be pressing their religious beliefs on the minds of children. It's immoral. When I walked by them, one of them said to me, "You like like a reader; New Testament?" I politely turned him down, but afterwards I REALLY wished that I had thought of something witty to say to him, like, "You look like a reader; Harry Potter?" I would appreciate any suggestions in case they are still there tomorrow.

    (And if you don't have a suggestion, please don't reply.)
