Does RAM improves fps in toribash?
I`ve got a question: Does more ram mean more fps or smoother gameplay in toribash?

My specs:

Procesor: AMD Duron(tm) processor, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.8GHz

Memory: 512MB RAM

Page file: 456MB used. 791MB available

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c(4.09.0000.0904)

GPU

Name: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

Manufacturer: NVIDIA

Chip type: GeForce FX 5200

DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC

Approx. Total Memory: 128.0 MB


Will an upgrade to 1GB of RAM improve fps and(or) smoothness of the game?

Now it waves between 60 and 20...

When I move but I don`t grab anything...it won`t go under 50 fps...but if I grab uke...it sometines goes down to about 10 fps.

This is annoying.

So...would another 512MB of ram help me?



Also: If I activate shaders they work...but I get ~ 0.5-1 fps, but that`s from my GPU.

If you have Shaders, the Gfx Card is important (even without shaders though).

I have only 2Go of Ram, and it worked well in Toribash 3.69 & lower.

Though, doesn't work really well in Toribash 3.7

TBH the biggest bottle next your pc has ATM is the Duron. If you ditch that & grab an old Athlon you'll get a huge boost.

I've no idea what your motherboard will support, but since you've got a 1.8 in there (@ 266fsb) you should be able to ramp it up to an Athlon XP 2.6

You should be able to get the processor for about £20, but they can take a lot of digging to find. It'll be enough to keep the game running at 40+ fps even in mods like aikido.

RAM would only give you a 5fps or so boost, not really worth it for the money if you ask me.

i have 8gb ram, and it helps i think. but i also have a quad core.

so think about both, procesor power probably helps more than RAM does.
