agreed! x1950 cards offer great performance for a cheaper price compared to the 79xx series.

I also agree but buying one of the new Ati cards would be a massive mistake.

If you cant afford a 8800GTX or 8800Ultra, Go with the 8800GTS as thats the cheapest DX10 thats any good even though buying a DX10 card at the moment would be a bad idea as when DX10.1 comes out it will make DX10 cards obsolete. Wait for 10.1 thats my advice.

I like the new line of ATi cards. I'm looking forward to a HD3850. Anyone know the difference between the 2900XT and HD3870?

 

P.S. 8800GT is the best bang for the buck.

[Koenigsegg]

i have 8800 gt (which is almost as good as gtx)

i dunno how much free space (both hdd and ram)

Hard Drive:160 GB Total

Video Card:1GB Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT

 

 

Thanks lee.

Pentium D is just 2 pentium 4's on the one core. 8500GT is a bare basic (very cheap) DX10 card

[DriftNismo]

That's a good computer, especially for one you got for free. But you NEED a newer card, my old card in an FX5200 and it's worse than terrible in the game. How much money do you have to spend on new stuff? Because i got my X1950 Pro Sapphire 512MB 8x AGP card for about £120 and that's brilliant, it lets me run TDU at 1440x900 Resolution with High Details, HDR On and 4x Anti-Aliasing. And if i were you i'd get more ram. Just get another 512MB stick or something because even the newest games don't need any more than 1.5GB of ram.

[Guest RB26DETT]

still, the 8500 is a way better card than my 7300gs right now. i'm getting 25fps in tdu. i suggest try lowering some video settings ingame.

 

just a question, is 30fps bad for you guys. i'm not complaining of the 25fps i'm getting because it's still pretty smooth.

[Iced_Bullet]

Nope, 30FPS is fine, unless you then go and try and use Fraps for instant. I also find that not going on MSN, or using iTunes seriously increases my FPS. I use the in-game radio with my own music.

lol. why would have msn and itunes on at the same time while playing? :p

 

crap FRAPS, brings my FPS down to 15 while recording. but the result is still great.

[Iced_Bullet]

I used to have iTunes and MSn open when playing TDU, then realised I could bump up my gfx settings when they were off, and still get the same FPS. I know Speed, Sensei and TSS have MSN on when they're on TDU - silly billys - Speed even has mr. I love to suck your RAM (iTunes) open aswell.

hahaaha. i love to suck your RAM. roflmao!

 

i have x-fire, fraps, and listen to the ingame radio and still get 25fps except when you start recording a video.

[eleKtro]

What are your settings on in TDU exactly?

are you referring to TC Lee's settings or someone else's. you could've quoted the posted. ;)

[raz abbs]

Anyone know how to contact customer service form www.testdriveunlimited.com?

[Sunny]

jus wonderin if i can run it. I meet everythin but the CPU...I'd really like to play the game even on medium detail.

 

AMD Athlon 2400+ 2.0GHz

1GB RAM

ATI Radeon 2600XT HD 512MB AGP 8x

 

also is a Realtek AC97 a DirectX 9 sound card/chip or w/e?

[eleKtro]

Yes that will gun the game. Not on full but it will work.

I have a Radeon 2600 XT HD and I run the game on high, 4xAA, HDR, 1280 x 1024.

[Andreas¹]

Really? Should it run med-high when doesn't even meet the CPU requirements?

[Baltoman]

[Sunny]

aiight thanks, and nvm bout the sound card.

[Sunny]

AA-Anti Aliasing. Makes edges seem smoother

HDR-High Dynamic Range, and idk wat it does, jus makes it look more realistic.

 

not sure how to turn this on cuz i dont hav the game yet, but check the display menu :p

[Baltoman]

Balto - Esc > Options > Video. There are options for AA and HDR in there :)
