Jelliz 10 Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) You should have used a more descriptive title, pretty sure a moderator will chime in and refer to the rule in question. But can you tell us what resolution settings you are using? that includes 3D resolution aswell. And how much of a difference is it between the two ingame islands. (Utes and Chernarus). Is Utes better performing? Edited June 13, 2010 by Jelliz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PatrickB1992 10 Posted June 13, 2010 Your processor and video card are extremely low end, that is why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted June 13, 2010 The whole computer is low-end. No offence 427490 but i would have been surprised if it would run smooth even on absolute minimum settings. AMD Sempron is absolute low-cost CPU, single core and low speed. The minimum system requirements say a Dualcore is needed. The graphic card isn't a card. The HD4200 is a onoard chip and never in the history of gaming it was a good idea to play high end titles on onboard GPU. The VRAM is probably shared memory, taken from the system RAM. Doesn't help to make it faster. The harddisk with 5400rpm will also be a cause of troubles. Todays desktop harddisks usually run with 7200rpm and even there the sheer amount of data loading often unveals the HD as bottleneck. Mate, to me it looks like a lowcost, lowend laptop you're trying to run the game. If it's a desktop PC, then maybe you might keep the DVD drive and replace the rest of your system with appropriate hardware. Right now, your system doesn't even come near to required hardware.
