MagnumPI 0 Posted July 24, 2009 It lags a lot in single player mode. system specs: Phenom2 X4 3.0ghz, Radeom HD 4770 video card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJK-Ranger 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Another reason for lagging is the HD. Best performance will be an Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB, 10000RPM, SATA, 3 Gb/s, 16MB. You will notice your HD LED are working like hell when you are entering a city. So an HD with 10000 RPM will load the pbo's more faster than a 7200 RPM HD.

Didn`t see that requirement on the back of the box.:rolleyes: Not strictly true either.An ssd drive would be even faster if you get the right one. Also the game does not detect a computers performance correctly and apply the correct settings for it to run smoothly.I don`t know what the cfg line 3D_Performance is but after testing and changing this number many many times it varies how much the game stutters by a huge amount.My game now runs smoothly in all conditions after changing this to a non auto detected number.Sometimes on auto detct, it even applies a negative number on this line and yet if deleted another time it will apply a totally different positive number.God knows why.

DaveG 0 Posted July 24, 2009 ^^ Indeed. Plus (nit-picking here) 3GB/s is the maximum transfer speed speed of the SATA interface. On average those drives can read at about 100MB/s (I have the 300GB version). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
