Cant tell what a speccy is, no clue on actual brand name of motherboard, cpu, ram sizes, and even a plugin sound card enhances speed because it comes with a cpu and doesn't draw from the system cpu. Your rig may differ - by a lot.

'speccy' is an easy way of saying; 'more than capable of running the demo and so listing it's 'specs' is probably unnecessary at this point until it's looking like it's not a conflicting software issue'. Not sure why you want the brand name of my motherboard but since you've asked it's 'Gigabyte'. CPU is Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz not over clocked, 8 gig DDR5 ram, Nvidia (Asus) GTS 450, 1TB C:/ drive with 477GB free, no sound card; all running Vista service pack 2 with all the bells and whistles enabled (Aero, full animations, sidebar etc.). I didn't know about the sound-card performance bonus so never bothered with one, thanks for the heads up. P.s. 3 gig switch has been made.

I see the mention of 3 gig switch. Are you referring to ram, hard drive swap file size, or something else?
I have been building PC's - and/or working with various operating systems for a long time.. quality assurance software tester in real life job as a living.. so my interest in solving issues goes to levels that require checking even the BIOS on a motherboard.. Asking one question for all the details is faster than getting one detail each for 30 separate questions on system specs.. always a good idea when investigation of a PC mystery begins.. the info allows for compatibility checking, cross checking etc.. The first thing that pops out of your description is the fact you use Vista, and because its outdated and no longer supported.. I think it may be one of the first areas to check into. I don't have a machine running Vista at the moment, and if anyone else does, they could shed some light if they also have issues.

Sorry mate;
I took your first post as being a little condescending, however, having read your current post I now understand why you'd be a little jaded and why you took my post with a pinch of salt. All good and I appreciate your time (you did take the time to reply after all ). I was judging by your join date when I mentioned the 3GB switch, my bad. When SH4 and 5 came out and people were running Vista there was a prob with the amount of RAM that windows would allow a program to use, I'm going from (poor) memory here but I believe Vista wouldn't allow a program to use more than 2GB RAM (in the day that was heaps). The 3GB switch upped that to 3GB but took the extra GB off vista. I just assumed you'd pick up on that; my bad again. SH4 ran fine but for me SH5 wouldn't load all of the GUI and so I couldn't run it. At the time I had 6GB of DDR2. The 3GB switch for RAM, made through DOS, imediately fixed this for me and has been in place ever since. It does seem to hurt Windows performance but it was a fair trade-off. Quote:

One common saying is computer / video cards / are like dog years.. A dog gets 7 years older for every birthday you have in real time.
General info.. this game is designed in the Unity3D engine - I believe it is the latest version, but your video card is 6 years old apparently.. I am running a Nvidia660Ti - on dual core CPU E8400@3.0Ghz and 8Gig RAM with Windows 7 Ultimate ..on Asus P5QC motherboard, not seeing anything seriously wrong.. My video - Quote:

Have you ever run www.3dmark.com benchmarks on it? It appears to be SLI ready meaning you could run two video cards if the motherboard supports it. You said "Gigabyte" - have the model number also? You may want to double your video card, or consider other more complete upgrades.
