I’m planning on buying a new cpu
soon,but the one i’m using has nothing
to do with the problem.
I agree. This has nothing to do with CPU - it’s perfectly capable. It’s the video card, as I said.
I even get 60-70 fps sometimes with
it!
Sure, but not in UE4 you will not. You just need a video card that is not 9 years old - and it was an entry level even back then.
I’d just drop something like a $50 750ti (something below 75W - knowing how PSUs are in office Dells/HPs) and you’re good to go. If you have money to spare, double the RAM and you have an OK machine to work. No need to change the mobo or the CPU - I7-2600 is a great little chip even today!
And if you invest another 30 bucks in a system SSD, you’ll be absolutely fine for a couple of years.
