FPS: How to increase them?

Vythica · 04-28-2009, 04:47 PM

Okay so here's what I'm working with: Pentium D 3.2 Ghz, 6GB Ram, Asus P5WD2 Mobo, Nvidia 8600GT 256mb GPHX. Running Ubuntu 8.10(using Openbox Desktop environment with no compositing enabled). With all the textures on and view distance at medium, particle effects enabled (I should be able to run this) resolution at 1280x1024. My FPS sits at around 65-100 normally, but when I run into a city or to a fort with people in it I drop to 25-30. This bothers the hell out of me.

So the basic question is; will an upgrade to my GPU solve this or is an all out CPU/Mobo upgrade required to get those FPS back up to 80-100? Either option is okay, I just need to know whether RO uses mostly CPU or GPU. Replies are solicited from any and all who can help.
