OK, I fudged it by deleting the intro videos, now it works and I can play...
7800gs 512, p4 2.8ht 800fsb, 2 gig of ram
Its interesting the sliders and most of the graphics options have very little effect on the framerate, low settings, high settings, the sliders its all the same...except the enviro effects which cause a 5fps drop or so.
leaving pearl, I get about 15fps on the bridge, its faster in the sub. adjusting settings made no difference.
Im guessing im cpu bound...
In the open ocean i get about 18-22 and it feels quite playable for me, In not a fps junkie. Im happy with the card. American TV is 24 fps...so its resonable.
Ram wize I checked the PEAK useage... it was about 1.4gb, so you want at least 1.5gb ram..preferably 2gb...at one gig you will get some paging which will slow things down a little due to hdd access...
I will reinstall windows tomorrow to see if I can fix the media player errors and then I should be good to go.
Oh an Im running a 450w psu and its all good so far...
Im only running 1024x768 70hz...I might try some higher rez options later and will edit this post. Sometimes I have found performance increasdes by running a higher rez with some games, I know that sounds wierd...I doubt this will be the case with SH4 tho.
