samtherocker Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 When I play multiplayer it will cut me off sometimes because it says my computer is running too slowy. But I'm running vista busniess service pack 1, dull core 2.8ghz, 3gigs off ram and a gig nvidia geforce 8500 gt, plus I'm running cable internet. Why is this shit happening ?

WRX22B1998 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 probably the 8500gt... but your other specs are good, i dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesta Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah, that 8500GT is really dragging the rest of your PC down. Get an 8600 or an ATi 3850, then you'll be able to run the game no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 8600 is on the low end for this game - mine has a bit of trouble running this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download EVGA Precision and (if you have a cooler, it can be a stock cooler like mine) overclock it to: Core Clock: 670Mhz Memory Clock: 450Mhz That is the maximum and if you overclock more, you'll have some problems in games like artifacts, etc. With those settings I get over 29FPS in the benchmark, average of 15/28FPS outside and some outraging 60FPS inside.

davesta Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I had an 8500GT and it struggled even to run San Andreas. Which version of the 8500GT do you have? (512mb, 256mb, 1GB?) The rest of your specs look fine. You have the same amount of RAM as me and a slightly better processor so it has to be the card. 8600 is on the low end for this game - mine has a bit of trouble running this. Funny, as that's the reccommended requirement. I have an ATi 3850, which is below the reccommended (slightly) and the game runs really smoothly. Perhaps it's programs running in the background or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustADummy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 My 8500GT is the 512MB version. Since it's GT, it's made for overclocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
