Mass Effect 1 to much for my system?

You could try to lower all of your settings. If this doesn't result in a FPS improvement than there is something else porked.
If you get good FPS rates you might want to set one option higher at a time and see how this effects FPS and whether you can get the game to run in an acceptable way (both graphics and FPS wise).

BTW you can select a global AA rate for all games with the Nvidia control panel.

ME1 is a bit sluggish, not that well optimised, you get small freezes and sudden drops on FPS for a few seconds. I have the same happening, but can run ME2 smoothly.

Disabled AA, everything running smooth now! Thanks guys!

P.S. what is AA

Dowly · 05-09-10, 08:38 AM

AA is Anti Aliasing. Smooths out jagged edges.

I noticed that you got the Yvonne Strahovski sig, ivank. So, that gave me a wonder that you bought Mass Effect 2 because of Miranda Lawson, who was voiced by Yvonne obliviously.

LOL No I have that sig for two reasons:

1) She plays Sarah Walker in NBC's TV show Chuck (one of my favorite shows)

2) LOOK AT HER! SHE IS THE PINNACLE OF BEAUTY!

lmao, please relax.

I knew she played Sarah in Chuck, I watch this show.

What make you think that I got the sig like mine?
