Hey I apologise if this has been covered but I'm half asleep and could have missed the post.. I'm getting a new rig this friday - athalon64 3200 1gig of pc3200 cosair ram and a 128mg radeon pro extreme... how you rekon it will handle it, people have been telling me it needs a 512 mg card to run in high res and high detail :O would hate to see how it runs on this 2ghz p4:p
Yea its been talked about a million times before, on a million different websites. Go look for it, noob.Quote:

I have a radeon 9800 (128mb) and am running the game at 1024 x 768 on high detail with 8x anisotropy filtering enabled. I am getting very smooth framerates..granted nothing close to 60fps, but very smooth and playable.
If you have a 9800 and are not playing on high detail with smooth framerates...well.. you got one busted pc, a bad 9800 or just a bloated windows.
Also.. whats a radeon pro extreme???? Onboard video? 200 bucks gets you a radeon 9800 at newegg.com
I am running my 9700 Pro on high with 1024 x 768 and it works rather well.
And I am sure that 9800 would have even better performance, unless you short on memory or have some other problems.
And by "High" I meant "Ultimate" =/
Yeah, I'm a 9500, and it can handle the Medium setting at 1024x768 just fine... though the game does tend to crash, so it might be pushing a little hard. Good to hear that it kicks ass on the 9800, though, they're cheap enough nowadays that I can pick one up and not feel like I'm flushing my money away in the toilet.
Thanks guys for your help would shit yah if you spend a fortune and find it runs shits heh. And by the way diffusion, I may be a nOOb but I'm also a lazy bastard, no need for the bullshit
Yah its actually an enhanced 9800 but not onboard... ram runs at 715mhz and the GPU's been enhanced to 400mhz.. got it for 300 aus on ebay (bout 220 US if my maths is right:P)Quote:

I think its beause of the computer itself, but I'm hovering around 48-50 frames per sec in 1024 detail.
the XT?Quote:
