FPS in single digits... on ATI Radeon 3000
Hello everyone,
I get single digit Frames-per-Second in Unity Editor in Game view. I am not trying anything fancy now, just the example project scenes, the Survival Tutorial, and some basic terrain scene I made.
I get 2-12 FPS in all 3D scenes. In the sample projectd, there is a 2D example where I get a ~100FPS.
My GPU is "ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics", exactly as it reads on the Adapter tab in properties. I believe it's a built-in or on-board GPU.
Question: Is this GPU really this BAD or I have something else going on????
I have experienced this in Unity 5.01 and 5.02. I have no experience with earlier versions.
The rest of the machine specs are:
Manufacturer: ZT Systems
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955, 3.2GHz
RAM: 6GB
OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
If you have thoughts about the CPU, please share that too.
Info here Basically, you've got an on-board gpu (-> weak) that was released in 2007 (-> outdated). It should be fine for normal programs and (basic) 2D games, but don't expect to do anything in 3D.
Thanks @Side !
How do you think about my CPU?
Do you think I can get away by adding a better GPU or need an entirely new system?
What GPU would you recommend in case I can get away by just replacing the GPU?

I upgraded the graphics card to "EVGA GTX 750" and all my troubles went away! This is not the best on the market, but any better and I had to buy a new power supply.
