How does SHV run on 64 Bit?

04-30-10, 04:34 AM

Hi all,

Just a question to those who run 64 bit operating systems.

I've currently got a system with 4GB RAM, but due to being installed on a 32 bit version of Win7 I don't really get the full advantage of the extra RAM.

I've been considering upgrading to 64 bit Win7 but wanted to know what your experiences of it are. Does it run SHV well (in comparison to a 32 bit system) and are there any other strange bugs you get? I've heard from several friends that often 64 bit isn't exactly gamer friendly.

Thanks,

Sev.

It doesn't run on 32 bit, what makes you think it will run on a 64 bit machine?

Haha! Well, tis runnig fine on my 32bit at the moment. To be fair I've not had a single game freeze/CTD/BSOD or anything similar as of yet. And I've been playing non-stop for over a month now!

Running fine on my rig, 64-bit Win 7.
No CTD's, or other mishaps. (Touch wood).

I just built myself a gaming rig , and it hasnt blown up yet .
Coolmaster 922 case
Asus P7P55D deluxe mobo
Intel core i5 750 2.66 cpu

LG 24inch high def monitor
Asus EAH5870 graphics card
Windows 7 64bit proffessional
Corsair 750 watt power
I have SH5 running on 1920X1080 res with SH5 graphic options maxed and the card options maxed except for the AA is only 4X , AF is 16X . Only getting 60fps at the moment .

1920x1200 maxed out everything runs great on Vista 64 bit. Only 1 CTD when I clicked on the hydrophone near an enemy sub. SH5 does seem very hard on the gfx cards though.

That's likely because your monitor uses 60Hz refresh rate... the fps is staying in sync with your monitor.
