Default FPS reports!

Looking forward to invest in this sim, but I still have a semi-old system. AMD Sempron 2.0GHz Radeon 9600 Pro and 712M RAM...

How would it work on my current sys?

Looking forward to update it this fall (a totally new one...) Too bad I wrecked one side of my car in a parking house two weeks ago...

To be honest.. I think you will watch a slideshow with your system.
It's just to slow

Have a look here:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=107783

By the looks of things you may be fairly hard pressed to run the game. SH4 is a system hog for sure.

You are at the lower end of the spectrum to run this game. This game is a serious resource/power monster. Currently I run the game with this set up:

AMD 3200+ (runs at 2.2)
2 gig DDR ram
Visiontek Radeon X1300 XGE 512mb card
onboard sound

I get 15-25 FPS(on the bridge) with most sliders to full and most boxes check (eye candy). While these FPS readings are fine for me and the game plays great, most like to have the FPS up in the 60's.

You're below minimum specs with the RAM, and your video card won't handle SH4 at all well. Even on low graphical settings the game will crawl. Wait until you get your new system.

Matter of fact Im not sure that that particular vid card will run SH4 at all ! Something about pixel shaders.

I think even SH3 will be hard pressed to run on that system. It def wont with mods like GWX or RUB

seriously need an upgrade man.

And this is a random side comment....I don't know who said your eyes cannot see a difference between 30fps and 70fps....but I watched it drop to 30 yesterday with 4 smoke plums and wow..major difference.
