Graphic card problem. Help plz.

[Sky]

I bought a new graphic card.Its EVGA 260gtx superclocked. I thought it would run silkroad on high settings but no. I installed everything and I started silkroad and then change the settings on high. It stutters once in a while but it didnt do what I expected. But my question is will it run better on windows vista since vista has some kind of thing that makes general graphic better? Also the graphic card is making some annoying noise?
Anyone with computer knowledge answer please. Dont need some guesses.

by looking at it, i dont think its ur graphics card, what is your other specs?

change detailed shadow to circle.

[cpinney]

change detailed shadow to circle.

yea thats something else that would do it, detailed high is very hard to run flawlessly.

I heard that it was impossible...Bad scripting or something O_o

I got a 128mb onboard card in my laptop and I can run it in high without lag (maybe in hotan =p)

Got a dual core 2 ghz and 3gig of ram with vista =]

[cpinney]

yea i heard that to, the best ive ever ran it was about 40fps in non populated areas and 10-15 in like hotan-donwang and such.

My laptop would insta-explode if I try to load hotan with detailed shadows xD

It can run fine in a grinding area tho...

offtopic question

with a 1.7 intel celeron processor

256 MB ram

and 32mb shared memory onboard card

would silkroad even run?

[cpinney]

yeah its the populated places which is really a bugger lol you would need like 3 high end cards 8gigs of ram and what not lol

@ kareem

possibly, wouldnt hurt to try, i can run sro on low with 512mb of ram 2.0 ghz processor on my crappy pc with a good fps rate, but idk 256 ram is pretty low >_>

thnx cippney gonna start downloading and give a try

[cpinney]

dont expect good fps rates or fast loading tho

i just hope it work

and i think i'd semd someone to buy me pots from hotan

Hmm...My old pc had a 2ghz processor, 512mb ram and a 128mb graphics card. It hardly ran the game, it's possible that I had to much shit (pronz anyone? o.o) on it so it slowed down. But loading sro took sooooo long. And loading hotan, I could go afk for 10mins and then maybe it was loaded.

I have a 260 but no problems other than the noise you're hearing. It's not your cards fault that the game doesn't run smooth because my old 8600gt can run it on max with 50+ FPS at all times.

I'm fairly sure the noise is called coil whine and happens at high frame rights (>200~). It may also be because of your PSU. When I first bought my card I was forced to buy a new PSU which fixed the coil whine a LOT. The other way you can fix it is by forcing v sync on through the nvidia control panel (sadly this made no difference with my old psu).

As for Silkroad..there are 2 things I can think of. You either haven't updated your drivers for the card or you have the shadows on (they're 'broken' for silkroad).

For drivers go to nvidia.com and find them.

huh thats odd, idk what to say mine has same, ran fine on low >_> and hotan only took 1 minute to load fully.

Curse you! *waves fist*

I do have to add that my pc could've been running over from malware/spyware and what not haha, never really cleaned it xD

[sting13]

SRO will run with 256mb of ram and 32mb onboard, i have done it in VMware on virtual machine, takes like 2mins to load when teleporting though. But running and playing smoothly are 2 different things

haha yeah thats probably it, that does do a number on system performance.

I have 4g ram. intel duo 2.00. DFI motherboard. 250g hard. antec 900 case. I just played crysis. Its really nice. i played on ultra setting without even twitch. i think silkroad required tremendous amount of ram to play it on high settings flawless.
Tnx for the support guys.

As stated before the only setting you cannot play with is the shadows, regardless of the ram you have. Everything else can be maxed out with a fairly old gfx card.

The bloom effect killed around 20fps on my old 7950gt... but it looks so nice that it was an even tradeoff
