Would adding memory increase blockland preformance?

[8hbc]

I'm looking into adding 2GB's of memory, to my default 2GB, and I was curious whether it would increase performance in heavy brick maps (As I get 5 FPS in a map with 200k bricks currently)
I'm not putting this in help because I am just curious, and not asking for help on anything

Depends.
The only way it would help is if memory usage was the problem in the first place, which is a rare case. If it wasn't, then it's most likely your graphics card.

RAM probably isn't your only issue here.

This. Try to get a better graphics card instead, that'll help most out of everything else.

processor too

Well if you only have 2 GB, you'd better get some more!

I doubt this is the issue, my friend (somehow) runs blockland just fine with a Celeron 1.4GHz Processor.

how fine
can he run max shaders hmm?

but yea the gpu is actually the most in blockland i think

nah its 100% the GPU and it always will be. most games of today you can easily run with a dual core and wont need more, few need a quad core or more and thats usually the badly optimized games. its all about the GPU.

forget yes, my new computer is going to have a dual core
might upgrade after a while tho, not that any of you care :P

My gaming PC currently has an AMD Athlon II x4 635 (2.9 GHz, 2010), and a Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 @ 1.1 GHz. The bottleneck caused by the CPU is so great that I get the same FPS running shaders at "Low" as I do at "Maximum". It's ~20 FPS, and the CPU usage of Blockland.exe is 25%, so CPU is obviously the bottleneck.

Before the hosting service, the same system had an AMD FX-6300 @ 4.2 GHz in it. This CPU has 2.5 times the single-core power of the Athlon. With that FX, I could run shaders at "Maximum" at 55 FPS instead of 20.

or you could always just download more ram

Well no, but he also doesn't have a dedicated GPU. I meant that he can just run the game with a steady 50-60FPS no shaders.

>implying poorly optimized games use all 4 cores to begin with

amd processors arent exactly known for their performance on lower core processors.

who knows what the hell is actually going on with those games. i point my fingers at gta iv and arma 2
