im using 2.0ghz 512mb ram geforce4 ti 4200 64mb(drivers are updated)
first of all is this card considered "crap" by todays standards.. It seems to run 'OK'... Anyways on that old game delta force 2 ( i know its old so u dont needa tell me about it lol ) on 640 res i cant see much and on 800x when i go inside buildings it gets laggy and i get a sysdump. It always gets bad framerates before it crashes so that means its deff. the card right? also iv been thinking about getting a card for a while now and the prices should drop after x mas right? how long should i wait until i figure the card has dropped from price from holliday shopping?(im basicaly watching that 6800 GT on newegg) alo when i use hardware on that game i get better framerates and never crash on 800x res, but people disappear after about 150m ( wierd huh ) is that just because this game is so old or could it be a diff. porblem? |

it does fairly good, its just if i use scope in that grass with the "turbo" on it gets lagy, which isnt a porblem really.. But mainly just if i go through buildings a lot ill crash, usually if i turn around in them of corse it seems kind of random, sometimes it wont crash for a while inside but adventually it will..
hardware acceleration.. i think its on, i remeber some setting for it but i forget where it was at. anyways if i right click on my desktop and go to properties ect.. to advanced video card settings it says hardware acceleration is in single-display mode and i cant change it either.. people only disappear on hardware mode, not software... incase you didnt get that.. --------------------------------- found that hardware accel and its been on full acceleration..

what's the * for?the ti4200 should run that game just fine, i ran it on my MadDog nvidia geforce4 mx-400 64MB card and it played good...i think the game is at fault not your hardware.

whats HDD(Hard drive??) and how do i check if its getting thrashed?
now im thinking about updating the ram, Right now i have 2 sticks of 256, Is it better to have 1 stick of 512 or does it make any difference? And should the ram be (dont know anything about this) compatible with the videocard ram for smoother playing? I just remebered what i did a cuple months ago. I went on another computer and played that game with no porblems, but i was only on it for about 20 minutes so i didnt geta really good feal for it.. THis computer was: Video card: Intel(r) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphic... pentium 4, 2.4GHZ 768mb ram service pack 2 its probally the better ram? I think thats and onboard card and i thought thoes sucked. Or could it be the porcessor or both? Mine is SP1, ill update it and see if it changes anything.. thaks for all the replys so far!! |

You can check by looking at the lights on the case for IDE activity... they shouldnt be on when ur playing (well intermittently but not sustained) Quote:
