Can't Run with High End System


Recommended Posts

Just updgraded to a high end rig with dual Nvidia 7800 SLI and 2 gig of RAM and have updated all my drivers. It runs so slow as to be unplayable and when I run the check system requirements it says my video card is too low end. If Nvidia 7800 is low end what the heck does this thing need. It ran fine on by old system with a 5200 and only half a gig. They current rig also runs Half-Likfe 2 and FEAR at maximum settings with no problems. I have also used MSCONFIG to shut down all non-essential backgroung and it still will not run.

 

I have tried the things in the troubleshooting guides. Doesn't seem to be anything under the specific video card issues in the the troubleshooting guide. Any ideas?????

I had the same problems. The game would not work on my (then) brand new Dell that had all kinds of crap, so I put it on a 3 year old computer with out a problem! Weird huh?

I found a fix for my system with a 7800 series video card and a dual core amd x2.

 

It was a link on a nVidia forum. It worked for me; I had to make a change in my registry I guess. I don't completely understand what it did but my game went form unplayable to working perfectly.

I just want to thank you for pointing me to this fix. The game just went from completely unplayable, to flawless on highest settings for me.

 

Thanks again!
