None of the specs you posted is even relevant to framerate. Having more VRAM means you can use higher-quality textures. Supporting a higher version of the Pixel/Vertex shaders doesn't make it 'better'. This is a special unit dedicated to producing high-quality graphics. Other factors such as what brand (AMD / Intel), what generation, and what model are all going to play into how well your CPU performs. A quad-core CPU is recommended, you only have a dual-core CPU. This is the brain of your computer, it's what actually runs the game. Going from 1920x1080 to 1600x900 is what jumped me from ~25FPS to ~45FPS on average.Īs far as what's causing this, there's two possible bottlenecks in this: One thing that I have noticed to be a major help is to reduce your resolution. The graphics settings are a complete joke, and likely won't help you with this. There's little that you can do yourself to help this situation. The computer I built January, 2008 has better performance than this. These would be 'high-end' specs if you got this computer 5-6 years ago.
