smoot178 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I have the GeForce FX 5500 and it works great.. it might not matter but i have the BFG tech one.. and also.. you can definitely go on high quality even though you cant tell the difference.. just that an anti aliasing setting of 3 is a nono.. it wont crash just moderately choppy.. but your Ram may make up for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balmung03 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 i have a geforce fx 5500 card too, and with a 2.2 ghz processor and 512 mb ram, it runs quite fine on low graphics for me; if i bump it up a little, it can lag sometimes, but since i have lots of things running at the same time (such as internet, fraps, etc.), that would be the cause of it running slow. and if it still runs a bit slow for your taste, open up your task manager (ctrl+alt+del), find gta_sa.exe, right click that, go to the priority line, and change it from its current setting to "high"; it will bring up a warning, since now you will be telling your computer to concentrate on that process before most others you are currently running, but this is fine since this is your intent. since your computer will now emphasize that process, your game will run slightly faster and you will render at a slightly higher speed as well.

Gangsta-Skyro Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 But do you think that if I close all that other programs, and other sh*t, it will run fast? I have: Intel Pentium D Is this good? 1024 MB RAM and the nVidia card 256 MB But, thanks for the tip at the ''High'' thing. P.s. Can I suspect a nice graphics en screen. Nut to nice but nice?

If you close all the other applications it should help it speed up, because then you are using less cpu and ram for the other applications. I make sure i have everything closed when i run a game, except for my Anti-virus, which probably takes up alot of ram still because it's norton.

Evil Gnomes Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Any nvidia fx series card is evil. They are very slow compared to others. I went from a fx 5200 to a 6600gt and it was like seeing colours again. The 5500 is a very small speed bump from the fx5200. vRam doesnt make much of a difference, any more than 64mb is overkill for a 5200/5500. However, that said, you should be able to run on low with no problems. Try updating your drivers at www.nvidia.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sh*t genius, you're comparing a low end card to a mid range card, and no to mention that they have a generation of technolgy between them Just stating a fact here kiddies, lag is when you have a bad ping rate in internet games, so you'll "lag" and have a choppy game. It's completely different when a game runs slow, you're gettting a slow frame rate, hence you game is choppy In regards to the topic, a fx 5500 should be able to run the game fine. Your friends clearly are idiots, and don't know sh*t about hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gangsta-Skyro Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 They say'd for the recommend sh*t that you must need Geforce 4 or better. I have 5, and I know allot of kids that playing with an FX 5200, 128 MB and it works on Medium settings. I have 5500 256 MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my friend running SanAn on a fx 5200 btw, 1024x768 (16 bit), Low details and draw distance on medium. He's running a AMD Athlon64 3000+ (s754), 512mb ram with a 120GB hdd. I'll say this again, your computer will run San Andreas fine. If your friends say otherwise, they're idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gangsta-Skyro Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 You wanna see what they say'd in a other Forum? (It's translated with babelfish)Well, here it is: That graphic card seems nowhere on! You better if you are nevertheless in the computer shop, NVidia card of 6th the serial to buy. Care also that he supports Pci-Express!, differently you can him dispose of within a year And another one: NVidia are this way well not yet, I had bought NVidia 6600 and he worked for no *** he always blocked the game which I played I now Ati Radeon X550/600 perhaps something for you, only I then a something higher would buy Ltd X(iets hoger)/(iets higher) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
