When launching Planetside 2 and noticing the [CPU]/[GPU] indicator missing from the FPS counter, it’s helpful to know that the game includes a built-in feature to identify whether you’re CPU or GPU constrained. In my experience, using a Phenom II X4 with an HD 6770 showed GPU-bound performance, so I upgraded to the 7870XT, which made me CPU-bound, and now with the X6 I’ve found a better balance. At least in Planetside 2.

until you have 2000 individuals within a 500-meter radius and the situation deteriorates completely

Stay until you're part of a server smash. It's unlikely you'll join intel teams unless you manage to get close to a group of players similar to those in biolabs.

These tools seem to be a good reason to get the PS2. It’s unclear how your system will look, but I think the GPU will be a big factor.

Never explored planetside 2 much. Ended up wandering without any transport or credits, just searching for help.

You brought up Planetside 2, and now I need to know which faction your main character belongs to.

Absolutely. I'm the medic, using the TRV and the AMR-66 part of the small D4R3 team—about four people in total!

It seems the game frequently identifies itself as running on your CPU. Hopefully, that's not a problem—maybe check your hardware or settings.

My main character is NC, the secondary is Vanu, and I seldom play TR. I'm on the Emerald server, previously from Waterson. Alright, I understand, just keep teaming up a lot okay?
