WTF I have never heard of this res for any game

Holy crap...if they're supporting something as badass as that, I better start saving. Lol 3x the view of my enemies! Eat it bitch!

why dont you just change ur resolutions and see what it looks like? or cant you, if your moniter doesnt suit it?

Given the fact that a well-tweaked 2.4 gig P4 with 1 gig of ram and a radeon 9700 has trouble running the game at 1024 * 768 at the very lowest settings, trying to run it at that resolution is just plain. Well. Sheesh.

Seeing that I run PS at 1024x768 on my Radeon 9700, AMD Athlon 2400, and 1GB RAM with HIGH settings and NO slowdowns or problems, I'de have to say that your computer must be ... mislabeled. Or you need to stop running two copies of PS at the same time.

Even in the heat of battle, I rarely dip below 30fps.

I run Ps at full detail on a Athlon 1900XP, Geforce 4 4300 128mb, 1gb PC3200 and still dont get any slowdown, so i agree, your system is screwed. Thats at 1024x768 BTW.

Bleh ;-/

I've spent hours and hours trying out various drivers (old ones, new ones, unofficial, "hacked" ones...), different settings (anti-aliasing, vertical sync, fast write etc.), tweaking RAM times in the BIOS, changing graphics aperture size, changing operating system, changing PS graphics settings, trying out different virtual memory settings ... the list goes on.

I'm finally at the point where the FPS doesn't go any lower than 25 (and that's in the really crowded zergs), but that's still 25 too low to be able to aim properly, and with absolutely slaughtered graphics.

Reset it all to standard and try again, something is wrong.

That's where I started out ... and where I got to after each windows reinstall.
Not to mention that UT, Q3 etc. run *very* well. My 3dmark benchmarks are good, compared to other identical machines in the online directory. It's only in PS I have problems.

This is a resolution popular with the Flight-sim nuts out there. But I try to steer clear of those types - they tend to own multiple gun racks.
