TimeViewer Report post Posted December 19, 2004 Ok first off I'm not a programmer but I'm wondering about something. I have a built in Intel 83865G graphics controller, it uses normal system RAM up to 64 Megs for graphics but from my FPS and overall performance I'm wondering if the controller may be looking at the games lowest reqs instead of max. Is this possible and is there any way of rectifying it on either my end (system tweak) or with the game (having the game try to get max from adaptive cards)?

Leeloo Report post Posted December 19, 2004 This should be in "Help me". Anyway, try upgrading your graphics drivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimeViewer Report post Posted December 19, 2004 They are fully updated (I always keep up on that I should have mentioned that), I know the advice part should be there but it may also be an issue with how the cards look at the game which would be programming/suggestions Time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leeloo Report post Posted December 19, 2004 I don't think you know anyhting about programming, or even about how graphics cards work. The card does not "look at the game". If you're not satisfied with the performance, and getting the newest drivers doesn't help, you need to get a better graphics card. Preferable a real graphics card, and not some onboard crap that uses system memory and has half of the functionality done in software. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimeViewer Report post Posted December 19, 2004 (edited) Ok I was looking for information not a rude dweeb so forget it dont answer me again I wont read it since your going to act like such a jerk and just to be clear I had stated at the begining that I am not a programmer you self centered dweeb try reading instead of trying to show off how you know oh so much Edited December 19, 2004 by TimeViewer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeone3000 Report post Posted December 19, 2004 (edited) Video cards preform their best. They don't look at the game. If you have low FPS, get a better graphics card, preferably one that doesn't use system memory and have most of the work done in software. Try something like a GeForce. Tweaking the client side of the game and tweaking your computer files are the same thing, as the client is installed. If you are unable to get a new graphics card, you will have to play like this. I don't think the game even has minimum requirements. If you don't want geek, don't post in the programming forums. People talk about things like C++ programming errors and Linux modifications here.

TimeViewer Report post Posted December 19, 2004 @freeone3000 Thank you, at least your post was civil and informative, the reason I posted it there was because I had thought that since the card is adaptive it must look at the game (or the other way around) and that the game might be able to be improved to look for adaptive technologies. Ok maybe I was wrong at that, as I said I'm not a programmer. I'm use to the insults that usually fly around on forums I just consider it weak to rely on calling other people's machines crap instead of doing as you finally did and posting an intelligent reply, again thank you.

crusadingknight Report post Posted December 20, 2004 (edited) People talk about things like C++ programming errors and Linux modifications here. Erk...you have no clue what you just said, do you? We use C++ here, and we have yet to require modifications to the Linux kernel.

Leeloo's said the same things... and he never called your machine crap, just the onboard card (which is true... I run an Intel 83845G, and they are the worst things going ) Edited December 20, 2004 by crusadingknight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leeloo Report post Posted December 20, 2004 We use C++ here, "We DON'T use"... Oh, and btw, all onboard graphics cards are crap. If not for other reasons then just because they are damned hard to upgrade. Start heating the soldering iron... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was in a hurry...typing resume at the same time (erk, can't get accents)...still, that was an embarrassingly stupid screw-up by me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
