maturin Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I want to buy Flaming Cliffs, but I am concerned about performance on my PC. I am not satisfied just looking at the system reqs, because my computer is more than powerful enough for LOMAC, but my FPS sinks into the toilet whenever I look at a city or zoom out the cockpit view too far. So I don't want to spend money on what could be a slideshow. I keep finding links for the Flaming Cliffs 1 demo, but it no longer seems to be hosted at the main site. If you don't know where to find a demo of either Flaming Cliffs game, you could answer these questions: How much more stressful on the hardware are the more recent games? Are the terrain meshes higher res in the sequels? By a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 No Demo. Post your system specs and people will be able to tell you roughly what sort of performance to expect.

joey45 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 ^ A demo would mean more work load on the ED team.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

RIPTIDE Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 ati mobility radeon hd 3650 That card is weak. It will be a slideshow. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusan56 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Used to have Radeon 4... something, with 1 GB RAM and my fps was like 9, sometimes 13. Just replaced video card with Nvidia 560GTX with 2 GB and fps jumped up. Never goes below 25 - 26, sometimes over 40. It's amazing difference. This card is not hot news on the market (from 2009). But thanks to that the price is very reasonable, around $250. i5 quadcore, 6GB RAM, Win 7 64 bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
