I proved all you naysayers wrong!

Remember when I asked if my 4000+ and a 6800 would run Crysis with medium shader? Well guess what? It DOES, and more! It runs with everything medium except objects and shadows (which is on low- for obvious reasons), and it looks much better! Wow, my gun actually reflects light, the sun actually exists, and water has god rays! Amazing, and you said it wouldn't happen. Even better, I have an average of 15-20 fps!

nay


NAY I SAY

Hm, good for you, but 15-20 fps for me personally is on the border of playability and far from enjoyable. I accept that during short periods of heavy load, but for constant playing? No way.
Also, what resolution are you running on? 1024x768?

[PanzerBoxb]

Hahahaha!  Just wait until you get towards the end of the game.

Heh, funny enough you can't actually SEE anything under 10 fps or so (I did a test once on people who claimed they could, using a frame limiter in WiC. Turns out, people actually notice sudden DROPS in frame rate, not the actual fast frame rate itself. Interestingly, this meant people who typically got 80 fps, that suddenly dropped to 30 seemed more hitchy looking than a computer limited at 15 fps)

I played through the Singleplayer on an x850xt w/2GB ram and a X2-3800+. I got a solid 15-25FPS the entire time. the Singleplayer was playable, but Multiplayer sub-25FPS was NOT. It seemed like I was getting jerked back repeatedly because I couldn't keep up.

Your 6800 is better than my x850.

I don't believe you should really play any game under the framerate at which it's animated because then you're not getting fluid motion. Then again, if the game is good enough...well, lets just say I played Mech3 on a 4MB onboard graphics card...My Voodoo3 3000 was the same upgrade my x850 to my 8800gt was.

I have a Core2Duo T5600 and Geforce Go 7600, and it runs at 5-6fps at completely minimum settings Anyone know how to improve this??

[Defender]

Isn't the Geforce GO series a laptop-based card?

[Somebody Else]

Yes, this is a laptop. It runs SupCom pretty well, so I don't really know why it's so bad...

[Masakari]

yes, hence the garbage results.

[Somebody Else]

Well sorry for not being able to use a desktop.

[Masakari]

You can't improve your performance, it's a laptop.

[Defender]

He's right.
The problem is a Laptop.
Laptops are like Mac's, not quite the most upgradeable things.
They're good when you first buy them, a couple years later, throw it away and buy a new one.

[Somebody Else]

This is around 6 months old and cost me around a grand. I guess I'm gonna have to trade it in or something if I'm gonna play MWLL.

You can play crysis maxed out on that rig 1024X768, 1280x1024 with i'm guessing around a SOLID 50 frames in MULTIPLAYER. And with proper CFG's maybe some moar

If you dropped the intel processor, the GPU, and the mobo. And replaced them with an amd 6400+, 2x 8800GTS 320mb(overclock them yourself) and get an m2n sli deluxe mobo you could probably drop the price by 200 bucks mb and max the game out easy at 1024x768 with a great solid framerate.
