SHIV Frame Rate Problem

CrocodileDundee · 03-22-07, 03:51 AM

Athlon X2 4200, 2GB RAM, dual Seagate RAID SATA (2x 160GB), dual Gforce 6800 (SLI).

Performance good at 1024x768; choppy at 1280x1024 (during attacks, explosions, etc).

Weird thing though, it seems it does use both cores, and I seriously doubt the devs used multithreading (since 85% of the target audience doesn't use multi core CPUs)

I guess fine tuning your machine (updating video drivers is not necessarily the BEST idea) might solve some problems.

PS:Silent Hunter 3 worked very smoothly on this rig, but even SH3 had a significant framerate drop when multiple explosions occured at the same time (or oil_on_fire animation).
