Looking for some advice to save an aging system if possible. Power supply just died so I'm replacing that as its still under warranty, but D3 isn't running super smoothly, so I'd like to give the system a boost while I'm waiting for the RMA.
Older system, but even when it was built the GPU was on the cheaper side. Would upgrading to something in the GeForce 550 ballpark make D3 smooth at medium settings, or would the old processor and memory really bottleneck things to the point it wouldn't be worth it? Any insight would be a big help.
