idiotech101 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Ok I get home after buying the game, something I rarely do these days due to the fact that most games out of the box fail time and time again. After spending 3 hrs downloading and installing a bunch of crap and fighting with errors and beta drivers for an hour the game actully ran!... at 5 fps... The game is completely unplayable I have installed the patch, beta drivers trying running the game in various modes and it just plain sucks, and on top of this I get horrible artifacts! I mean seriously the quality of the graphics at these settings is downright awful, I have played crysis cod4 and others on this machine and granted not at the highest spec but it looked pretty damm nice. If someone could please help me im sure this is not just my system being so terrible that it cant render walls that look like they have 8bit textures on them. I really wanted to play this game but it looks like ill be trying to a refund if this can't be resolved. benchmarks: (I meet all the minimum requirements aside from the GPU, but seen as it is in the 7000 series and is a 256mb card I thought there would be no problem.) Statistics Average FPS: 6.82 Duration: 5.57 sec CPU Usage: 97% System memory usage: 71% Video memory usage: 93% Graphics Settings Video Mode: 800 x 600 (56 Hz) Texture Quality: Low Render Quality: Low View Distance: 1 Detail Distance: 1 Hardware Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS Video Driver version: 180.84 Audio Adapter: M-Audio Delta AP Multichannel Intel® Pentium® D CPU 2.80GHz Thanks in advance for you help.

modCJpls Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 It's your Pentium D... the game is very CPU resourceful, you'll need atleast a core 2 duo to play it at around 15FPS (If your lucky) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/391881-lagartifactsunplayable-80-wasted/#findComment-1058871911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chngdman Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 It's your Pentium D... the game is very CPU resourceful, you'll need atleast a core 2 duo to play it at around 15FPS (If your lucky) I have a core 2 dup at 1.86 ghz - steady 30FPS. Intel® Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz is indeed an issue. GFX card might even be fine once you move up the CPU, but no promises...

FRAGEYE Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The cpu upgrade would make the game much more playable for you. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/391881-lagartifactsunplayable-80-wasted/#findComment-1058873091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelated Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm not a pc whiz but your pc meets the requirements to play but i dunno why it's wierd for you. No it doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Neither the Pentium D nor the 7800GS meets them.
