I learned to disregard most of the chitchat about the game running badly on other rigs - mine hardly ever has problems even with modern games (of course it doens't run the most recent games on high settings, but I can lvie with that)
I just selected the medium setting from the game options menu, left the sound settings as they were (i do have an Realtek AC97 onboard sound card, too) and it ran just fine for me, even better than SHIII. Can't say much else about it.
Plus that I have noticed no slowdown whatsoever when closing task forces (the one I engaged consisted of 5-6 Japanese destroyers and 2 Agano class CLs) - no slowdown either with time compression when approaching, using periscope or camera to observe hits. I don't know what fps I got, but I don't bother to check that out if it's running nicely.
Of course, the graphics I got with medium settings look just as much as SHIII did. Not that I mind, being used to playing Fighting Steel....
