third topic with the same question? we really need a PC build thread though.

i thought you was a girl. bummer....

you wanna 2-1 volourn bok? i'm game.

imo nwn2 is feels more like kotor than nwn1.

stalker does look pretty awesome. might be the next game i'll get, if JE doesnt come out before it. depending on reviews naturally.

the way it was originally phrased gave me the impression of "why huge?", which is what i was referring to. but yes, we did not learn. we needed to have a large presence early. it will not help, IMO, now. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> what you didnt learn was that it's stupid and useless to "liberate" a nation on the other side of the globe.

it's not an NWN2 option. only through your windows control panel can you set it. right click on your desktop. click the "Settings" tab. click the "Advanced" button at the bottom. one of the tabs will be either "GeForce <whatever>" or something similar for ATI. if it's a GeForce, click that tab and a little sticky will pop up on the left. the top option will be "GeForce FX <whatever>". click that and then "Performance & Quality Settings." there will be several things on the next screen, including a scroll-bar list titled "Settings" under the "Global driver settings" box. scroll down to "Vertical sync" and click it. at the bottom, a slider will appear with another check-box that says "Application-controlled." uncheck that box and move the slider to the left (or wherever the "off" position is). taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i have an ati radeon 9800 pro and i cant find the option anywhere. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ive got the same card. You can find the vsync option at the bottom in the opengl and direct3d tabs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> where? in the control panel? i just can't find it me = dumb

nwn2 expansions. i guess this is the game i'll be playing for the next couple of years

it's just weird that my fps is so much higher in outdoors areas when it should be the other way around. i dunno, the game is still playable but my gut tells me that it should run a bit better.. 10-15 fps can prove to be fatal in multiplayer.

which patch? i have both 1.01 and 1.02 and no issues so far. they pulled the 2nd due to MP server issues and i haven't checked to see if it has been reissued. so far, no crashes, very few real bugs, and a lot of fun on nearly 25 hours of play. there are minor bugs (like my selected character running towards a selected item and suddenly jumping back 20 feet), but nothing game stopping and nothing that causes problems. my current settings are: low shadows, no water effects, medium textures, no bloom, no "normal texture mapping" (or whatever that box is), 1024x768 @ 85 Hz (i assume 85 Hz as that's my normal for windows), linear on all the filtering. 45+ fps outdoors and nearly 60 fps indoors except around water which seems to be a hog even with effects turned off. fortunately there isn't much water to worry about. oh, v-sync is turned off in the nVidia control panel. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i dont get it, my FPS is 20-30 outdoors and 10-15 indoors.

I agree, it's far better compared to the radial menu of NWN. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> worked in fallout, works here.

black tight jeans and nothing else

if you're being serious, you're more of an idiot then I had ever imagined. Go rent a movie like Black Hawk Down. That's Anarchy. I'm 14 and I can figure this stuff out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol

No one gets it, not even you. Again, thanks for your insightful input in helping me to get my game running smoothly. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> three people, including myself have explained it to you. taks wasnt saying that your LCD sucks, he was just saying that because LCD's require high resolutions to look good, they're not really fit for gaming since few vid cards can actually run a game like nwn2 in 1600x1200. he wasnt saying it was your LCD. talking about <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LMFAO Seriously man, go back and read what's going on before you post. Not once did I take what taks was saying as "My LCD sucks". Where the hell did you get that? According to taks, my poor FPS issues has to do with my large LCD monitor and trying to run NWN2 in it's native resolution of 1680x1050. If I had a small LCD with a lower native res. or a CRT monitor then I wouldn't be having these issues. So, how is this not the problem of my large LCD monitor? Apparently if I want the game to look and play well I'm going to need a smaller monitor. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> he's not saying it's your lcd. he's saying its your lcd and your video card.

now desktop sized! (hope you dont mind mr menze)

Setzer, since you insist on saying he was trying to change what he said, I went back and looked at the original posts, and I noticed something rather important: When he was talking about your monitor, he was talking about video quality, not performance. Since the performance was subpar at the high resolutions, you tried dropping it down but then complained that the game looked horrible. At no point did he say that your monitor was causing poor performance in this post that you mention. If anything, I think you just misinterpretted his post, and then continued onwards. He said the large LCD monitors can be poor for gaming because their native resolution is excessively high, and can outstrip the performance of a video card very easily if you want to play in the native resolution (i.e. the best quality). He never said it was the cause of poor performance. You misread his post, and then continued on an argument with him with that misinterpretation, which naturally made him defensive. Unfortunately, even when you went back to look at his post, you failed to look at the post directly above his post that was yours, where you made a comment about how the image quality was poor. In essence, you took his quote out of context, and incorrectly assumed (again) that he was talking about your monitor being the cause for the performance problem. To reiterate, the comment about the monitor was referring to the poor image quality at lower resolutions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was talking about PERFORMANCE not how bad the game looked. My problem was when I tried to run the game at 1680x1050 my FPS was terrible outdoors and the only way I could get the game to run decent was to drop the resolution to 1280x960 and turn everything off, then my FPS jumped to where the game played smoothly but of course didn't look good. So, this is a problem with poor FPS and not how bad the game looks. I'm trying to figure out why I get poor FPS when I'm running this game at 1680x1050 because I don't get it when I'm playing Oblivion, WoW, or Dark Messiah at that resolution. Taks responded with, "ooohhh... you have an LCD. sorry. yeah, that could be a killer. LCDs need to run in their native which is probably 1600x1200? that would be murder on most vid cards." Ok, where in that statement is he talking about the game looking bad at lower resolutions on a large LCD monitor? From that statement he's saying that running the game in my monitor's native resolution(1680x1050) would be "murder" on my video card, which to me means, the game isn't going to perform very well at my monitor's native resolution. My only solution to fix this problem would be to drop my resolution down or get a smaller monitor thus my large LCD monitor and it's native resolution being the cause of my performance issues. He even goes on to say... "i have a 21" samsung at work (well, one here, too, the 213T) and it looks horrible with everything, [/b] even winderson anything less than 1600x1200. unfortunately, i don't have a vid card strong enough to power that resolution at 75 Hz refresh, 32-bit color and any nifty options. so it sits unused." Here he refers to his video card not being powerful enough to run anything at his monitor's native resolution, 1600x1200. Ok, now he's implying that if you don't have a good enough video card then don't expect to run anything at your monitor's native res.(1680x1050). My video card is a 7900GT 512mb, I should have no problems running my monitor at 1680x1050 and I don't for everything except NWN2. I understand that running the monitor in a resolution other than it's native is going to make anything look horrible but again, this is NOT my problem. My problem is running NWN2 at 1680x1050 and having poor FPS. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> give it up, champ. everyone else gets it except you.

i'll post my question from the other thread: approx what level are you on when you get the chance to join the shadow thieves of amn?
