hollywoody Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, I notice that when trying to run on high graphics settings I'm getting that shopping slow frame rate and it does get somewhat better when I change to medium or low graphic settings. I notice the slower frame rate when panning to the left or right while flying past cities..etc. My question is: can I get better performance by upgrading my video card and what card do you suggest? How would the ATI Radeon™ HD 5770 compare to my current card? My budget is under $200 here are my specs. thanks for your vista 32bit intel duo core e4500 2.2ghz 3GB ram nvidia geforce 8800gt alpha dog 500watt power supply thanks Edited January 30, 2010 by hollywoody [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://WWW.VFA-113.COM ________________________ Win 8.1 i5-3570 3.4ghz-Trackir5-TM Warthog - Pro-Saitek Combat Rudders-Viso 43" 4k"
Haukka81 Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Overclock your CPU, black shark wants more GHZ. I have e8400 oc to 3,6ghz and radeon 5770 and i get about 30-50fps. -haukka81 Oculus CV1, Odyssey, Pimax 5k+ (i5 8400, 24gb ddr4 3000mhz, 1080Ti OC ) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
159th_Falcon Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I would suggest you take a look at this tweak guide. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=49434 Then reconsider the "need" for upgrading anything. I am certainly no expert on Intel and Nvidea chips so i cant give you advice on that area though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:)
isoul Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 One thing for sure... your E4500 should be your primary concern since the game uses more CPU than a GFX card.
GaryIKILLYOU Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Yeah, your CPU needs some work, your card is fine. But IF you do have to upgrade (because it eats at you) then the HD 5770 is a fine choice.

Ramstein Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 you can get a Core2Duo 2.93 ghz cpu for $100.00 new if you look around.. I do not know Nvidia video cards... but a good fast cpu helps a bunch.
