Performance Hit???

[IndianScout]

after installing special forces with both patches the in game graphics settings are borked
with my specs below I used to run everything high with textures on medium 4x AA
fps never used to drop below 50
same settings after the upgrade even @ 2x AA fps will drop to 15 fps and never get above 45-50??????
updated to 81.95 no difference


dang


anyone else taking a hit on performance???

Re: Performance Hit???

Yes there are some who say there is no performance hit (even Dice) but the reality is there is a performance hit. Sadly, with the latest patch and SP the system requirements leave everyone out except those who are willing to have it ugly, or have very high end hardware.

I pray to god that ur system runs it with the update nicely. Otherwise I am screwed!

Re: Performance Hit???

I don't see how the game would need much more in terms of processing power, it's almost identical! Sounds like a conflict with something on your computer, or a bug/glitch/whatever in SF. Memory leak? Wouldn't be the first.

Re: Performance Hit???

The call them "Beta" drivers for a reason.

You know if console games take over PC gaming in the end, it will be two reasons. Computer Experts (users) who love to F@*k with their PC's (overclock...beta drivers..etc) and theft will be why.

Console are locked OS/hardware wise and while you can copy a game, for joe user its 1000% more complicated than on a PC.
