Maximum textures and RAM - Page 2

Hellsfire123 · 2003-04-13, 10:53 AM

I have 1280 ram and a geforce 3 ti 500 64mb running with a 1900+ (1.65ghz) and i run everything on minimum. The last thing you need is to get frame lag during battle, especially while sniping. Minimum supported resolution is 1024x768 if anyone is wondering.

BTW, if you havent yet, update your video drivers. I didnt and it made sniping in forests almost impossible, but now it runs great.

Heh, well, perhaps I should have said that it was what I would shoot for if I had the money. But I don't so I will probably have something less. I have a 2.4G P4 on a MB that got fried somehow and my video card is a Radeon 9000 Pro and I have an Audigy sound card. That's where the similarities are. I just need get off my butt and figure out a way to return the motherboard since the store I bought it from went under. I think I will have to mail it to ASUS or something. I'll do it sometime.

Currently I am running a 1G Athlon (ugh) with 512M of RAM with the video card and sound card from above. I'll see how it works for me when I get my CDs.

BTW, I said 'ugh' to the Athlon because I dislike AMD since they indirectly caused me to get laid off a couple years ago. It's a personal thing mainly. Besides, I'm now extremely biased towards P4's because well, I help make them.

I had been running max textures on a p4 2.4 512 pc2100 cas 2-2-2 gf4 ti4400 at 1024x768 and the game was pretty sluggish. I recently upgraded to 1gig of pc2100 cas 2-2-2 and a radeon 9700pro and i'm running 1280x960 with max textures and the game is beautiful. I tried 1600x1200 at max textures and it acually did run very smooth, but the chat was completely unreadable because it was too small.

I have a pretty similar configuration (Athlon 2400+, 1 Go DDR333, Radeon 9700Pro), but I'll have to wait until the release of the game to see I my computer can run the game smoothly with max textures. But is there a big visual difference between max textures and a lower texture quality?

Great--so maximum textures are a go with 1 gig of ram, a 2.2gig+ cpu or better, and a Radeon 9700 pro or better. Thanks LesserShade and Zhor.

And to the people posting their system configs just for the heck of it: you get no points!
