Hello everybody
first of all sorry for my english, it is not my native language (french)

I got a pc via a friend that I would like to use to play D2R and Skyrim (and go online too)
It will not run any other game than these 2 (useful for my 2nd D2R account)

I installed D2R on it and it's really not great ...
many freeze, decorations that appear late, 25/30 seconds to take a tp / wp / change act.

the config:

cpu: AMD K15
motherboard: AS ROCK FM 2A68M-DG3+
graphic: 1050TI
memory: CORSAIR DDR3 16GB

I'm pretty sure it's the cpu that's too old and not powerful enough.
I would like to change it and put an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or an AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT (for example)

Being a dumb nut in data processing, I would like to have your opinion on:

1 / the compatibility between my motherboard and the Ryzen
2 / if the game will run with this change

Thank you in advance for your help

Well you would need an am4 motherboard for Ryzen

If I remember correctly k15 is fm2+ motherboard platform

Also, you will need Ddr4 memory (ram)



So pretty much you will only keep gpu… kinda big upgrade

Is this will be ok?

I would get 3800x. It’s like 2euro more on that site

And for ram, get the 3600mh type (it’s also like 2 euro more)

I am on the phone, no links sry )

Thank a lot (again) for your help!!
I really appreciate it!

If you have the money/budget, go with current generation, which would be Ryzen 5800X. But you would also need a separate CPU cooler as the 5800X doesn't come with one. So if you have the money/budget...take it.

hi!

Why not a Ryzen 5800x ( have money for so...)
and I have this cpu cooler in stock : be quiet! Dark Rock 4
Is it good or need a stronger one? (no coolwater ^^)

BeQuiet Dark Rock 4 should be ok with AMD Ryzen 5800X.

It’s a good cooler, definitely enough..

But then the q is… ofc 5800x is better, but you spending extra on cpu, without upgrading gpu) I would personally go for cheaper cpu and try to get decent gpu.
