I've made previous posts about performance, but this one is based off of recommendations according to my situation. A lot of people keep saying that my gfx card is holding my whole computer back, which means i am not getting my moneys worth of performance.
Dell Dimension 5150
3 Ghz Pentium D
2 GB RAM
Radeon x600
Windows MCE
Now i run the game at 40 fps, 60 when flying and it sometimes drops to 20 when near artillery fire.
im running the game at:
Display Mode: 1024x768@60Hz
Terrain: Medium
Effects: Medium
Geometry: Medium
Texture: High
Lighting: Low
Dynamic Shadows: Off
Dynamic Light: Off
Anti-Aliasing: Off
Texture Filtering: Low
View Distance Scale: 100%
I've heard somewhere that if you put your video settings too low, you'll actually get slower fps because your not pushing your card to full potential or something. When i put textures to low, i actually do get a much lower frame rate.
I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN PCI-EXPRESS OR INTEGRATED OR WHATEVER, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THE GFX CARD YOUR RECOMMENDING WILL WORK [fit] WITH MY COMPUTER. IF YOU CAN PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME THE DIFFERENCE. I WOULD LIKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WOULD BE A GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND PRICE. IF YOUR GOING TO SUGGEST A GFX CARD, PLEASE STATE THE ESTIMATED PERFORMANCE BOOST. IF IT ISN'T EVEN WORTH GETTING ONE, PLEASE TELL ME. IM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS.
