Computer for mx sim

[motocross_will]

So I just bought a computer and I need to know how it will handle 40 man gate
Here are specs
Processor : 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-4460 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.4 GHz)
Operating System: Windows 8.1 (64Bit) English
Memoryi: 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 2 DIMMs
Video Cardi: NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 1GB DDR3
Hard Drivei: 1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s

I plan on upgrading to a gtx 650-750 but I need to know if this will work for now

You will definitely need a better Video Card. I would suggest a 4gb GTX 760, 770, R9 290, or a 3gb R9 280x. At least to handle a full gate.

It will run pretty good for like 20 people, but only having 1 gb of virtual ram on your graphics card is really going to hold you back trying to load in the textures of 40 people.

[motocross_will]

I think I am going to upgrade to 600 watt psu and get a geforce gtx 650

[motocross_will]

Could I dedicate more ram to sim ??

[Jeremy150]

What do you mean? You are only going to have 1gb to spend.

[motocross_will]

Like you can dedicate more ram to minecraft http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/su ... -minecraft

[Jeremy150]

No. That card you have has 1gb of virtual memory on it. Whenever I load in on a 40 man gate for rf, I use upwards of 2gb of texture memory.

He's talking about his RAM in his computer, and no, you can only set GPU memory to MXSim, as far as I know. and a GTX 650 would still run low settings for about 25-30 people. The video ram in the card is what you really need

[motocross_will]

Could I lower settings because my old computer had integrated graphics and was a 2001 acre aspire and it could almost run a 40 man gate with all the setting at 1 and 2 (could I do high fps 40 man gate??))

[motocross_will]

So a gtx 650 2 gob wouldn't work?

[DBRider251]

It would, but you would have to use low settings. Trust me, save up and get a good computer the 1st time. Future-proofing is great. And someone can correct me, but I think the GTX 650 would bottleneck the i5.

What's your budget?

[motocross_will]

For upgrades would be like 200 but the computer comes with a 460 psu

[motocross_will]

I would be willing to save up for a 200 in upgrades
