My opinions on GW and NYGTW - Page 3

When you're out on the bridge, tell the Watchman to take a break and hit the sack for a while. I've found he can slow things down, especially in harbor; too much activity up top. I'm running Pascal's smoke and splash with GW, which probably doesn't help matters. Just keep activity to a minimum and work with it to find some stability; the old turn the camera around can help.

So with my measley 133 FSB an 1.2GHz CPU an 4 x AGP slot I'm basicaly wondering why I should invest in a P4!

You don't think it could be the dual core and the ageia physx card making the difference?
:hmm:

I have no real issues except with the map (running GW). When I take a look at the nav map, it can kill my fps (down to 27 from 70 in the control room). It only seems to be here in the control room where I notice the difference. The bridge would still run smooth (70-120 depending on a number of factors, most notably the direction I'm looking out to sea). Has anyone else found the same problem with the nav map lagging things running GW?

Manages to run SHIII+GW pretty well... though i cant go over 64 tc in port its no problem I can place my camera right in buring ships with no loss in frame rate though

also this is my vid card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121544

I play with stock game with 1.4 patch and GW, I have had to stop playing because the frame rate jumps between 120 and 20 in all stations causeing the game to be very choppy. have tryed everything possble to fix it but can't seem to do it.
any sergustions?

Try a video card with 256 or 512

Hi SkvyWvr, Thanks for your post, Have ordered a new graphics card.

Hopefully this baby will do the trick, should with some luck get me back up and running by the middle of next week, am just waiting for it to arrive. Then the real fun will begin as i have never installed a new graphics card before, so god know what i will do wrong

I don't think that will ever happen. The personality conflicts between the two teams is in all likelyhood unrecoverable. I can't say i like it that way, but thats just how it is. Acutally, i think the only way that would happen, is if a 3rd party did it. Im also pretty sure much forum drama would ensue, and if it did, id just sit on the sidelines iwth a big bowl of popcorn and watch the show. Im a little burnt out on it all.

@mr chris: If you have enough to spend, I have Nvidia´s GF7800GTX and I´m very pleased with it. GW runs at 40fps in ports and 60-80fps when no ones around.

I was wondering about my graphics card. Could it handle Grey Wolves without the major fame problems??? It's a Radeon 9600.

Well I am using a Radeon 9250 and while sometimes I take a hit in port and near convoys it plays great so you should have no problems

My brother has a 9600 and he has no troubles at all, not much noticeable difference between that and my BFG 6800 Ultra OC. It's only on the higher TC levels and in ports where there is a bigger difference. Certainly A OK for GW though!

SH3 is generally more CPU dependant anyway, though a half decent graphics card is needed to back it up.

i have a p4 2.4ghz, 512mb ram, and a radeon 9600 and i run gw with no less than 40fps at all time?

07-28-06, 07:17 AM

Athlon 2400+ (~2ghz)
512mb ram
radeon 9800 pro (128mb)

GW with 16km runs absolutely fine, except in harbors (20-25FPS)
At the ocean or in convoys, no problem...

I dont know why everyone thinks that GW is a hardware killer... i dont even have all the specs needed for SH3 vanilla, but there was NO change before and after gw...

reeeeaaaally strange...:hmm:

bigboywooly · 07-28-06, 08:04 AM

Athlon XP2200 = 1.79GHz<-----meets minimum but not the recommended
1 Gb ram
Radeon 9250 128mb

As long as keep T\C low in harbour I dont notice frame drops so much
Nav map gives a drop but again only in really high T\C and I always know when near a convoy as it stutters then

I think the frame hits have more to do with the processor speed than the graphics card IMHO

Still if it was annoying me that much I wouldnt use GW would I ?

Everything else more than makes up for the "inconvenience" of blasting everywhere at 1024 T\C and I for one cant wait for the next release
