Hi all!
I've always loved flight sims and decided to try this one out. I was just curious what you all would recommend for me. I currently have the demo and am getting everything from stuttering to artifacts. My setup is the folowing:
A64 3500+ Venice
1GB Corsair DDR400 CS2 (2-3-3-6 1T)
BFG 6800GT
Audigy 2 zs Platinum
2xWD360GD (36.7GB 10000rpm SATA)
1xSamsung 250GB
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
BE QUIET! 475watt PSU
FASTWRITES OFF! (I know this one ;))
I mean i generally run linux, linux is on one raptor... windows on the other and for those who may be a bit slow that means i DON'T have raid0. I assume that you all aren't gonna recommend i wine this game :music_whistling:
Anyway, as i said i'm running the Demo right now of FC and i'm getting lots of stuttering and artifacts even at the lowest settings of both video and sound. I've tried several simple things. I have a fairly recent driver. I upped my pagefile to 3GB and tried running the game at high priority. Anyway... I still have problems. I read on this forum that x64 XP isn't ideal for this game. Or 64 bit in general for that matter. I kind of want to install and try out vista (i'll go 32bit if it'll make a difference) or i can just install 32bit XP. I get both legal and free through MSDNAA so it doesn't matter. So, are there any recommendations? Or experiences with vista etc? Is my computer enough to run this game? Is it just 64bit causing problems? Is the demo glitchy?
Thanks for your time ;)
