Computer specs, and how it runs PS


This is for all you out there who ask everyone what their system is when they talk about PS...

Athlon 2000xp 1.6 oc'd to 1.7
Asus AV7333 mobo (I think)
1 gig 333mhz Ram (probably what got me into beta)
Gainward geforce 4 ti4400
Cable modem, on the box with a real good conection.

Now to Game

On High, I get a little Laggy (meaning FPS short) but not bad, onlt real slow downs with 40+ people on screen, and huge, ie. unplayable with 60+

On Recomended, Virtually no Lag at all. Smooth as a babies butt. Then some babies have pretty bumby butts. This would be like Cyssor in the middle of peak time with 500+ people on the continent I start to get laggy.

Medium, with the draw distance maxxed! This is what I play at all the time. So far it is pretty much perfect, looks pretty, and I get almost no Lag. The only problem I've seen was durring a Massive battle but I think that very easily could have been server side, as most everyone was complaining... and the FPS was fine, just interacting with a terminal took some time.

So other people in BETA who wanna give hope to those who soon will be, post your specs and what settings you run at.

I run PS with

2.4 GHz Pentium IV
786MB RAM DDR (Just upgraded today)
GeForce FX 5800 Ultra
512k/256k GCI Cable

It runs beautifly, with the graphics cranked to the max settings. Before I upgraded to 768MB RAM I had some choppyness when opening doors and walking out of buildings. But now that I boosted that up it doesn't get choppy anymore. I would like to add that the devs are awesome for adding the super high texture resolution settings for ub3r comps.

Are you actually playing PS Heko? If so you might want to mention how the game runs.
If you're not....then...nevermind

How does the 5800 ultra sound, Saint? I've heard reports that it was fairly loud.

havent run max textures but with draw and everything else cranked the game looks awsome and plays superbly. Only lag I have seen was server side and to that extent it wasnt too bad at all.

Been running well, smoothest beta I have ever been in. My hard drive was "hitting" a lot last night and a GM told me nothing was going on server side, still confused about that, it was causing some chop.

I play 1024 with almost all details on, draw distance about 75%

It makes a whirring noise, a little louder than my Ti4200, but I don't notice it that much. I mean what can you expect from a liquid cooled video card? Of course it is gonna make more noise. I love the thing to death and I would take it over a 9700 Pro anyday. I suggest this card to anyone who can't decide between it and the 9700 Pro. If you have the money and the patience, for crashes and problems, then you should go for the 9800 Pro. This card is all that and a bag of chips. It performs the same, if not better than a 9700 Pro.

I played PS with the lowest setting, but 1024 full screen.

I checked how my video card was doing, and what surprised me that planetside took only about 2 megs of memory!
But it hogged most of my page file on RAM.

Runs fine, very smooth with an occasianal BSOD or crash. This game is basicly RAM dependant, Video helps but RAM is what pulls the carriage.
