Your processor sucks terribly, that's the problem. It may also be your graphics card if it's lower-end, but I don't use nVidia because personally, they suck and are slow compared to ATi.

You can use FRAPS to check for FPS, iirc.

It is:

the processor's a lot slow
the ram (2 gigs is better)
the video (FX series weren't great)

Combined that makes for your 15-20 fps. What about graphics details? Turn off shadows, water detail, etc and it should go up a bit.

I'm running a backup PC 2 gig RAM, 3 ghz HT processor, @ 800 by 600, a 7300GS and it's barely cutting it. I haven't checked my FPS but it's moderately smooth, so probably around 25-30 fps.

HAHAHA

You're funny. ATI does not do well against the current crop of Nvidia cards, including the 8800GT. Not to mention ATI's less-than-spectacular driver support.

1 gig is better then 512 mb, 2 gig is better than 1 gig and 4 gig is better than 2 gig...you can go on about this...1 gig is more then enough if you have a descent processor and graphics card (which I dont have lol)

the highest I can reach is like 50 in the cave...in town its mostly 1 or 2 and while grinding outside town (doh) around 15-20

GFX card is fine. On my staller PC i have a FX5200 and can run the whole game in full [ except shadows ].

FX 5200
1 GB RAM
But my crappy pc is duo core 2.8GHz tho.


Question... What resolution do you play in? I'd suggest trying it in 800x600 windowed mode with everythign on low + SOUND OFF and then slowly adding options till it gets choppy.

Turn off shadows entirely in the options menu.

It's bugged, and over 99% of the players that have shadows on get low FPS.

Besides that I can't think of a different cause..

I have a lan pc here, a Pentium 550 Mh with 256 ram and Geforce 440 and I can play SRO fine, your pc specs are good enough to play SRO flawless.

I have ALL details on "Low" or "Off" ... if I change the size to 800*600 i get more FPS ... about 30 ... But lets say im allone and not in Town or in the Cafe ... then i got like 50 fps +++ ...
