Your specs and performance? - Page 3

Fercyful · 03-25-07, 06:49 PM

Sempron 2800+ (1999 mhz LOL don´t reach 2000) (old 462)
ASUS A78VX-X
EVGA 7800GS CO (AGPx8)
1,5 Gb RAM 333 mhz
HD 2 x 80GB 133

Campaign start 1941:

Pearl 14-17 FPS bridge (bad! bad!)

Navigation 24-26 FPS bridge (is ok for my eyes)

all options ON at 1024x768 (vsync on). If I turn them off is the same FPS!!

sure CPU bottleneck here...

I´m thinking in get a new mother and Core 2 Duo E6600 but reading this one:

Quote:

E6600 Dual Core 2.4mhz
ASrock Vsta Motherboard
2gb DDR1 Ram Dual Channel
X850 Pro 256mb GPU
Windows Vista Ultimate

All Graphics High. Post processing filters on.

22-24 FPS external view

I´m thinking it twice...

can be this game SO demanding on CPU!! :hmm:

KevinM · 03-25-07, 08:27 PM

Surely I should be getting better frame rates than this.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 CPU
3Gb RAM
512Mb ATI X1650SE graphics card
ATI Catalyst 7.2 video driver
Windows Vista
1024x768 res

All settings at max, except EE off and glare off.

I manage to scrape 26 FPS down below in the control room, but if I go onto the deck, this drops to a measley 12 FPS, which frankly, is unplayable.

Is my graphics card the problem ? Is it really that bad, or is something else causing the lousy performance.

I sit here in awe of all you people getting 60-100 FPS on what appears to be a PC not light years ahead of what I am using.

Cheers,
Kevin.

get nvidia 8800GTX...

Only then you would get not 100fps, but 200!

tonyeh · 03-26-07, 05:29 AM

ATI radion 6800 pro
Intel 2.4 gig
1 gig RAM

2 frames a second hell, all settings on low, except textures. Absolutely impossible to play to any degree. Fine for SHIII though.

I expect much better on my new machine...

Thats my system from a similar post a few days ago. I have had a bit a cleanup and installed some newer catalyst drivers (forgot when I clean installed Vista). I have also disabled the Enviromental Effects (to get rid of the Monolith of Doom) and now have 35-40 Fps in 3d view and 170 Fps on the map screen even at 1024TC.

The E6600 is the best cpu on the market at its price IMHO (and others) and I regard my graphics card as the weak link in my system but I'm waiting for the DX10 cards to come down in price a bit.

Funny you should say that...I have just decided to go out and get a new 8800GTS (can't stretch to the GTX just yet).

The 320Mb GTS can be had for about £190, which is actually a good price for the performance, and should certainly perk up my framerate a tad.

I just reccomend the best....

Steel_Tomb · 03-26-07, 06:17 AM

I've got a pretty old system here but runs SH4 OK...

CPU - AMD Athlon XP 3200+, 2.2ghz
RAM - Corsair Value Select 2x 512mb, PC2700, 333mhz
GPU - Ati Radeon X1650PRO 512mb AGP
OS - Win XP Pro

Ive got everything on apart from environmental effects because it absolutely kills my system, which is cool because been able to see your sub just under the water line at p.depth is pretty sweet. I'm getting roughly 24fps, drops a tad in harbour but not much (I've only done 1 patrol though so not sure, havent been to big ports like Pearl yet...)

McBeck · 03-26-07, 06:46 AM

AMD XP 3200+
3 GB
Windows XP
ATI X850 XT PE, 256Mb
Soundblaster Live! 5.1

1280*1024
No AA, AF

Above 30FPS, but occationsal stuttering otherwise smoooooth.
Running all high. Fog and photografic effects off (Looks bad IMO)

KevinM · 03-26-07, 07:41 AM

Well, it appears to me that having a Core 2 Duo chip (especially one of the slower ones) has no real advantage.

I have just installed this on my "general purpose" PC and it runs so much better.

As a comparison, the specs are:

Game PC

Core 2 Duo E6300
3Gb RAM
512Mb ATI X1650SE graphics
ATI Catalyst 7.2 Vista drivers
Windows Vista

On deck with everything maxed, and Post Process, Full Screen Glare, Light Shaft & EE all off, everything else selected, I get 24FPS on deck.

General Purpose PC

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ CPU
2Gb RAM
ATI X850SE 256Mb graphics
Warcat 7.1 optimised XP video driver
Windows XP

On deck I get 42FPS (with exactly the same settings as above) and everything is as smooth as silk. With every option selected, the framerate drops to 26 (still playable) compared to 12 on my Games PC.

I guess I know which of my PCs I will be playing this on then !!

Kevin.

Bo-Bo · 03-26-07, 08:59 AM

See sig for system specs.....

Game loads in about 5 secs......saved games take about the same time.
FPS is constant at 60 (v-sync forced) with maxed settings except in some odd instance (bug) thats been reported when an artifact brings the gfx to a halt.

can't wait till they fix the resolution & fsaa issues.

Wow! me too! Thats sooooo weird I was just gonna say the same exact thing!

BBury · 03-26-07, 09:46 AM

Intel P4 3.0
2gig Corsair DDR400
115G SATA HD
ATI X800pro AGP
Onboard sound (SoundMax)
WinXP SP2 & current

1024x768x75
"Medium" settings

I average about 30 to 60 fps depending on view. Long pauses when pulling up clipboard toward end of long patrol with only minor pauses (stutters) here and there. All in all it runs pretty smooth and looks pretty good.
I tried "Evironment On" setting but this created not so good graphic anamolies and bad fps loss for me so I turned it off.

Canonicus · 03-26-07, 10:06 AM

Hey all....I'm glad to be here.

I took the plunge

Alienware Area 51 7500 SLI
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX 6700 3.2 GHZ/ 8MB cache/ 1066FSB
4GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHZ
500GB Raid 0 Serial ATA 3GB/s/ 7,200 RMP w/2 x 8mb Cache
Dual 768MB Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX - SLI enabled
Creative Sound Blaster X-FI XtremeGamer HD 7.1
1000 Watt Power supply

Think I'll have any problems?

EdwardTivrusky · 03-26-07, 10:24 AM

My Specs but i'm hoping to upgrade soon, this game sure makes my rig work it's elderly little butt off. Anyway:

Athlon A64 3000+ ( old one, Newcastle? )
ASUS K8VSE DX mobo
1GB Ram
Radeon 9800pro 128mb
Creative Audigy 2 ZS.

Performance:
With the gfx settings down a fair bit i can get 20-25fps usually, mouse lags a tad but the real fun comes when i launch a Torpedo and the "EventCam" appears i then get a whopping 6-8fps.

Just as well that I spend most of my time in the nav/map screen where i get 70-200fps.

It's not so bad, i sank the Yamato last night so the game is playable. I just don't fancy getting into a big engagement and waiting a week for the outcome!
