Help!

[Uriel]

I've noticed weird hiccups in the game. It plays smooth until about every other second it pauses very very briefly, then continues on.

I have a 7950 gx2
intel dual core
1 gig of ram

What would cause this?
Is there a patch or update for my particular card?

Sounds like it's loading data into your ram, or that it's swapping data on the hdd. Another gig of ram will do wonders.

 

[Uriel]

Ulgh, more spending

Before you do that, you should try this tweak guide.

I dunno... one gig really doesn't cut it these days. I definitely suggest getting another.

 

[Uriel]

Someone wanna trade a gig ddr2 for a gig of DDR?
Hah, takers? Anyone?

The new Geforce 8800's can do what PS3 is doing now.

Yeah, and an 8800 costs roundabout the same as a PS3. Horses for courses...

Good point...

Yes, but in general, PC > PS3.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Simply becuase PC's get better, consoles don't until 5 years later when PC still pwns them.

Uriel try dropping your res to 800x600 I noticed my system did the same thing when running 1024x768 and turning the res down seemed to fix the problem...and the game is still pretty.

if your saying pc in general then you are wrong. the pc is so much better then a console system will ever be.
