Considering GWX - Page 2

danurve · 03-16-10, 08:11 AM

I ran SHIII w/GWX 3.0 on a 936 2.0 single core with 2 gigs ram, agp-256 card. It ran fine, a slight fps hit in the harbors & close up scope view / something burning & water in the scope. The install includes a lite harbor traffic mod.

I ran GWX3 with an AGP 128 card, and only had problems with the mod that gives all the extra smoke. Using 256 now and it slows down with the smoke, but runs fine in harbors.

...and yes your rig specs will run it.

Don't listen to him! He's been drinking again! Actually, when does he ever stop?

My system specs are:
AMD sempron 1.7ghz
1gb system ram
ATI 128meg AGP video

Old as dirt, but I don't have 700 bucks to drop on upgrading. I assume there are options to decrease texture resolution? I would really like to see 16km and be able to get the drop on Merchants and have time to prepare for things. What about hydrophone range? Is that also increased?
Thanks everyone for your input.

Use the Lite Harbor Mod,
Stay away from the 16K mod
and you should be OK.

2 GIGs RAM would be better as would be doubleing the vid card memory.
The 1.7 CPU is the biggest bottle neck.

I run a 1.7 on my system and it stops me from useing the 16 k Mod
and OLC's and many others Great Mods.

Just for the record,

My ageing system is -

P4 3Ghz
2GB RAM
Sapphire X800 Pro AGP (256MB) (with latest drivers)
Soundblaster Audigy 2 sound card (with latest software and drivers)
Win XP Home with SP2

I get good framerates all round,however fps drop to about 30-40 when in ports.I have 16k atmosphere enabled and lite traffic.
As soon as I get the cash I will completely overhaul my rig to a new dual core setup with 1000MB vid card,prob NVidia this time round.

Well, I'd recommend GWX... but everyone would think that I might be biased or something crazy like that. Ya know?

Sailor Steve · 03-18-10, 12:35 PM

Now why would anybody think that? Let me guess - you've been drinking with Jim again, haven't you?
