How to Make APB Run Faster

Trying to play your favorite computer game can be frustrating when your current hardware just isn't up to snuff. Players taking part on the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), APB, will find this to be especially true for them as well. Because APB features high-end graphic elements, it may be necessary to upgrade certain components of your computer to enjoy all the features the game has to offer.

Things You'll Need

Video card
RAM
Processor

Instructions

- 1
  Consider upgrading your computer's processor. This is a core component that determines how fast an application or game can run. Upgrading the processor may necessitate purchasing a new motherboard. Check your current motherboard's specifications to determine if it can support an upgrade from the current processor.
- 2
  Add additional RAM. This gives your computer more memory to draw from when performing resource-intensive functions such as 3-D rendering. More RAM will help your computer better handle the intense demands that computer games, such as APB, place on the system.
- 3
  Consider upgrading the video card to a newer model. You will want to shop around and find a card that has more GDDR ram than your current card. Upgrading this piece of hardware will give you significant and instant results in the look and function of the APB game.
- 4
  Tweak the in-game video options to better suit your current system. You may have to lower or completely disable some of the advanced video options to get optimal performance and frame rate. Consider lowering values associated with viewing distance and particle density for starters.
