Running at 4fps

[shadesman89]

My TS is running at 4 fps
Specs
I5-3570k CPU 3.4 ghz
8gb of ram
Windows 8
1 terabyte hard disk.
Nova idea 620 Gt
Any suggestions to run faster

All routes have very low fps

What route and what train? That is about what I have although you failed to mention what your video card is which is likely the problem. So what video?

[DrewG]

Also what is the speed of the CPU?

Updated topic with speed and graphics card

Nova idea 620 Gt??? What is that?

[plethaus]

I'm sure he meant Nvidia 620 GT.

That graphics card is very underpowered for Train Simulator 2014, especially with TSX mode turned on. The first thing I would try is turn all the graphics settings in the game down as low as they will go and see if it runs smooth enough. If not, your only option is to upgrade the graphics card.

Unless you meant Novatech? If so, they are a supplier and not one of nVidia's manufacturers. FWIW, the card is an ultra-budget model and on one of the lowest rungs of the performance ladder. I don't think it's even offered any longer.

umm sorry checked I use nvidea 520 oops

[DrewG]

The gt 520 is not very powerful when it comes to gaming. You're going to have to lower your game settings to be able to run ts2014.

thinking about getting the gtx 660 is that good?
also is everything else fine ram, hard disk etc.

BTW I have 980 more gb of free space

edit meNT GTX:660

[Bananarama]

Get a GTX card.

[shadesman89]

Sorry I meant 660 gtx

[DrewG]

Gtx 660 should do fine for TS. If you get it make sure your power supply and motherboard can handle it. The gtx660 is a big step up from a gt 520.

[shadesman89]

ordered the 660 i have 750w of power hope thats enough

[buzz456]

It is.
