PC Perfomance/Graphics Optimization?

H4milton · February 9, 2011

PC Perfomance is not that good, my PC is okay, but I'm getting 17-20 fps in cities @ 1280x1024 no AA others High, how do I get an average of atleast 25 fps?

my pc is

c2d e7500 2.93

ati hd 4770

2gb ddr2 667

I think TDU 2 is not much PC optimized. What do you guys think?

killalldude · February 9, 2011

Hmm I think you should upgrade your graphics card. The minimum requirements for TDU2's graphics card is the ATi 4850/nVidia equivalent or better.

H4milton · February 10, 2011

this is the minimum video card stated by Atari

Video: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX/ ATI Radeon HD 3870 or faster *, minimum 512 Mo

4770 is almost the same of 4850 :)

ScoobSTi · February 10, 2011

I suggest getting a better graphics card; one that is between the minimum and recommended requirements. Then, if that card comes with a display control center or something, you can further edit settings from there.

I think I'm gonna get a ATI 5770. Any 5770 users post his fps please

Everything on High.

That's a rookie mistake.

First of all, you should set everything on Medium.

Enviroment setting does have an huge impact on the performance.

And setting others to Medium instead of High or Very High. - will give you few FPS's. - And you actually don't see any difference.

Second thing, is that Cities suck. You won't really have much FPS's in the Cities, because of the failed performance the games does have. Such drops in FPS's, everyone have.

Another thing to add onto what everyone has been saying, upgrade your RAM! 2GB DDR2 isn't very good these days. Especially not on a PC used for gamin. I'd say upgrade to 4GB DDR3 and you'll notice better performance overall and not just in games.

M1eX · February 10, 2011

First thing to do is to set 'environnement details' to low. You should get a good increase in terms of performance.

And yeah 2Gb is not enought, maybe on Xp, but not Seven or Vista (beuh!!)

I have Q9550 + 4Gb + HD5870 and i can run the game maxed (8xAA) out expect 'environnement details' set to high (maybe i will put medium) , and i get between 40 to 120, 60 most of the time, in 1680x1050.

I prefere having less 'environnement details' and more FPS^^ ( and Good AA, maybe 8x is too much, i'll see when i get my game)

;)

RazorX63 · February 10, 2011

What you are saying Jazzi is true, indeed.

But upgrading the ram itself, is costy.

And you have to include your Mainboard as well. As i assume, since he does have 667' RAM's and a Core-2 CPU, Mainboard will not be able to run the DDR3's, or any higher rate RAM's...

@Up:

Processor: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E6300 @ 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)

Memory: 2048MB RAM

Hard Drive: 500 GB Total

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT

40Fps with things on Medium - 1680x1050. With Window's 7 Aero.

If i would optimize everything for Gaming, it would go something around 5-15fps more.

But you have to admit, Cities - are really badly optimized.

Hmmm the game is very laggy for me, check my specs on the left and tell me what you think?

Sponge · February 10, 2011

Bim: Your proc's a little weak for gaming.

Razor: You can put DDR3 RAM into a DDR2 motherboard, but the motherboard can only work as fast as it can work.

Jazz: You're awake before 12? WTF is up with you?! haha x

Plus the fact that if he does get a new motherboard, the old CPU might not fit. Getting a new one *might* need him to get a new PSU as well. I've never experienced such a chain reaction as when I was going to upgrade my own PC. >.<

H4milton · February 10, 2011

Thanks guys, I'm getting much much better fps now with Environment Details set to low, getting 30fps with average of 28 :D

Dan G · February 10, 2011

Don't worry Sponge, it's mysteriously fine now :confused:

When I first played it everything was on low/none and I had really bad fps. The game then crashed after a while. Since restarting the game, it was fine! Solid fps. I put the environment and car detail on high with the fx and textures on med.

Very weird...

- Even though the min. processor is 2.2 and I have 2.0 :D Everything else wallops the specs.

Even the performance on my rig isnt golden.

I have:

I7 @ 3.3

Gtx 470

6gb ddr3

Win 7 x64

I play it maxed 8xAA 1920:1080

And get around 45-50 most of the time. Might be a bit better when i OC my card. But i still expected better performance. As i get 60+ in most games.

H4milton · February 11, 2011

I guess EDEN games will release a patch soon that's gonna improve fps :S

RazorX63 · February 11, 2011

What version do you see on the Launcher?

What Audio System you've got?

What difference of FPS's are you having between Ibiza and O'ahu?

What difference of FPS's are you having in City and on Countryland?

Is the game running smooth for you?

Very high + filters is very demanding and was intented to be so.

GTX470 is not the most powerful card now, though 45-50 fps is more than enjoyable... why do you need to complain ? :)

haha true still plays pretty good

Luchingador · February 11, 2011

so TDU2 have, higher requirements tha Crysis 2? nice, expecting some photorealistic evoriments.

AZ-1 · February 12, 2011

Is an N250GTS vid card gud enuff?:confused:

Sponge · February 12, 2011

The GTS250 will run TDU2 rather fine. Nothing spectacular, but it'll work.

alenone · February 12, 2011

Bimmer why don't you overclock that c2d a bit ? You are going to see a pretty good performance boost . ( my e4300 run on 3,2ghz on ep43ds3l )

Tombasss · February 13, 2011

I got an NVIDIA GTS 250 and i run 1280*1024,all very high,environmental on medium,AA 4x and 45-60 FPS.

CDMC · February 13, 2011

Razor: You can put DDR3 RAM into a DDR2 motherboard, but the motherboard can only work as fast as it can work.

no, you can't

there is some P35 boards will take both DDR2 and DDR3 but they have different slots for the 2 different types and you use either one or the other, not both.
