Im sure youve already looked at the specs, but have you tried this site?

Itll have you download a program that will give you the specs of your computer and whether or not it can run a game.

 

Also, just some preliminary information to know where you're at, have you ran the game already on low along with v-sync and anti aliasing and its still unbearable?

Just like you I have an older Phenom II, but mine is the 955 and even slower. I have upgraded my graphics since 2010 but only with a 2gb R7 360. Today I actually bought a new processor (FX-8350) and the same GPU Rather and I recommended to Samuels yesterday (Radeon RX-470 4gb). AMD processors although are a great value at the time are not great for gaming (they are roughly 30% slower than intels even with the same frequency). Also the age of your video card being from 2010-11 (when it was produced) may have a heating issue trying to keep up with the graphics. You can try overclocking the processor and it "may" help. Cooling always helps at least a little, but I don't feel putting a better cooling system into a 6-7 year old computer is worth while.

 

Anyone else with ideas other than possibly upgrading?

Capt. any updates for this or have you given in to upgrading your computer yet :)?

I'm gonna sit in a corner, hug my knees and cry softly until I can afford an upgrade. Go a head and close the ticket.
