How can it be?

Just upgraded the motherboard and CPU , ASUS nF3 + A64 3000+ E6 754 , but I found no big PO decrease , only by 20% around , I think that's not enough.

Then Can anyone tell me what's wrong , and as told , I really found nF3 board are bad at overclocking , but for I don't tend to change my video card Ti4200 , it seems be my only choice.

FBS:210 , AGP 70Mhz , Video Card : 280/610 , Memory , Kingmax DDR400 256 x2(DIMM 1 is 1 side , DIMM 2 is 2 sides) , 2.5-3-3-8

my previous one is .18 A XP 2000+ , GIGABYTE KT400 , no overclock , I upgrade it becuase I broke the "die" of the cpu

And if I want to upgrade my video card later , which would be a best choice?

I know that the PO in GP4 doesn't depend so much on the video card, but a TI4200 is really an old piece of ...

I would suggest you upgrade to a GeForce 7800 GTX, but that's High End and very expensive. If you don't have the money for this, i'd say, a GeForce 6800 GT would also do it. I'm NVidia-Fan, so I can't tell you anything about ATI-cards.

Also, I also think, 512MB RAM is too little, I'd upgrade to 1024MB.

well just for the record i've got 1 gig of memory right now, and im about to go to 2.

Im running a P4 Prescott (3.2 GHz),

An eVGA 6600 (256 MB DDR)

My PO is around 80-85 for most mods on the starting grid.

More memory will help you A LOT, yes its pricey but its usually worth it.
You should also get a new video card because, well I've never even heard of the one you mentioned. If you have an AGP 3.0 slot then I would definetly go for the 6800GS which is probably the best AGP card out there.

If your motherboard ahs a PCI 16x slot then you should definetly get a PCI 16x vidoe card such as the 7800. My friend has one and the card is FAST.

Hope this helps

Why oh why oh why do people say that?

The game is MORE dependent on CPU, but not by much, split it around 60/40 and that's about right, not 90/10 or similar as some seem to think

I'm running AMD AthlonXP (2.0GHz) 1GB RAM DDR, Radeon 9600XT AGP and PO is +- 40/55, I think it's good.

Everything depends by the computer configuration or better as the user configures it...

well, i went with a ati x700 pro (pcie) and got a po decrease of about 60 -70 percent. its actually a pretty good card, it is better than any of the old 9xxx cards, but not top of the line and fairly nicley priced.


The Flanker is gone.

Well , how many FPS you set in game?
I set to 40 , and no mirrors , with bump map off and reflections lights off , static reflection map , and others max. AF on , AA off , 1280x1024x32.
