all other games playing ok? then un, then re-install sh3 stock and try....

heck, I run sh3 on a p3 with 512ram and 256 nvidia card, she gives me great fps!

more than drivers is this issue here,,but you could try another set,,,just ensure their nvidia sets, NOT reference drivers etc

good luck

Best bet first imho, as irish etc have said, see what progs/processes you have running in background and eating up RAM (have a look at task manager to see how much RAM you have available). Shut them down with FSautostart (@softpedia.com). edit/add: My specs are similar (although different graf card) and the game runs fine. But I pull my internet cable so that I can shut down everything possible, inc antivirus/firewall etc plus the kazillion unnecessary services/processes.

Also, I recommend going into the Nvidia toolbar and changing your 3d settings to Performance rather than Quality.

Or, If you have three gin and tonics the game will appear to run fine. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm with Irish works fine with two or three scotch's also. Bad for your dive time though. Many of good crew lost to scotch.

Ok thanks for the help peeps

Im afraid im going to have to pass on the drinks suggestion though. After having had 11 beers and ending up chucking my guts for the next hour and waking up the next evening feeling like i headbutted a brick wall i decided that alcohol wasnt the best idea
