New 0 A.D. player, hardware question

[jamedavid]

Hey, I’m new here. I’ve been playing 0 A.D. for a few months and love it. Thanks to the devs for making a free game this good.

My PC is old and the game lags in big late-game fights. I’m looking at a graphic card for gaming that won’t cost too much. What GPU do you use, and how does 0 A.D. run on it? For big team games, does the CPU matter more?

Welcome @jamedavid! My gpu is integrated, so that probably won't help much. What cpu do you have?

I would recommend upgrading your RAM instead of/as well as your CPU. I did so and my computer went from lagging and burning up (16 gb) to able to run massive matches fine (42 gb).
