Need For Speed Undercover

[ids]

Does anyone know if my system should even be able to play this game at even medium settings?

Intel Pentium D 820 2.8ghz
3GB RAM
Asus 8800 GS 384mb
Windows Vista Ultima 64

Right now i can barely even play its so so slow same with COD world at war.......even after adjusting to low settings like 800*600 all things off or low

Not sure how much Vista would make a difference but I have similar specs and it plays fine. I always change all the settings to low though because, as with any racing game, the slightest stutter or glare is highly annoying. It did play marvelously at high settings though.

It sucked IMO I had more fun playing Carbon. It just feels to repetitive to me. The menus were a pain to navigate and Overall I didn't Like it.

at medium your fine dude, trust me, you got no problems, as long as you don't use a high res like 1920x1080 you are good to go.

I think their might be something wrong with my computer cuz I'm at 800*600 everythign turned off or LOW. And i cannot even race. It is running SO SO slow about not even at 27fps not even at a playalble fps.

Is their anyway to diagnose this. I'm suspecting its somethign to do with my windows vista ultimate 64. I even have the latest drivers too.

in terms of applications in the background NOTHING other then the asus smart doctor thing and my sound card tray icon thing......

i think i need to re install xp and screw this vista shit

 

[jbunch07]

I highly doubt its vista causing your problem...I would try a defrag, if that doesn't work than a reinstall of Vista... then we can start pointing fingers at the os.

 

[PP Mguire]

You should be fine with Vista. This game will run on a 9800pro if it was SM3.0 compatible.

that is because this game is very, very unoptimized. i mean, it framerate sucks in all consoles, so 27 should be fine (pray that you are not playin it in a ps3)

 

[jbunch07]

I have no problem with frame rate what so ever. games runs smooth as silk for me...it stopped crashing on me. I think it had something to do with running it from the DVD. Ever since I started running it from the HDD it has not crashed at all.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Give it some more time.

I ran it from the HDD the entire time and I had several crashes.

 

[LittleLizard]

i get 30-40 on my pc, 1024*768 at medium-low
thankfully, i love playin games in low (im use to it)

Don't tell me that dude!


Hmm Another thing I did was drop ram speed down from 1066 to 800, But I'm not entirely witch one fixed the problem

There's a graphics mod out for the game. http://forum.nfsplanet.de/showthread.php?p=343759

most of that thread is in german. I havent been able to run it. not sure what i means by run in package mode. pointing to nfs.exe i assumed that was the shortcut target.

i tried the defraging last night and still a no go. THe game plays so badly still. It wil get like 29-30 fps for a bit then randomly will slow down to liek 8 or 9 then 15-20 even on low settings. if their are any other cars except me in the race it will go down to 8.

I just ran 3dmark06 as welll. I think im going to format this comp and install xp.

I wouldnt even bother formatting, doesnt look like your system has the balls to handle that game.

The game is poorly optimized and unfortunately that will affect alot of lower end systems if not all.

I loved the game i played through it twice, too short imo.

 

[kysg]

something could be hogging the resources up. I would reinstall vista first, and also did you try turning aero off????

I doubt its the graphics card, hmmm something is just eating up resources,

I disagree with above, if I can take a sempron and clock it to 2.6ghz, wiith a 4850 and run this thing at 1920x1080 with everything on medium then op sys shouldn't really have an issue. Also noting I had shadows completely off.

sounds like u need to upgrade imo. xp wont improve things much.

 

[ids]

I'm afraid you are right. I don't think I have much money right now for an upgrade. I just spent 88 bux on the video card (waiting for a 40 dollar rebate making it a 48 dollar card).

 

[LittleLizard]

people, understand this, see the review on gametrailers, it says "The framerate is constantly poorly, especially on the ps3 version", its game's fault, not fault of your computer

 

[kysg]

yea I feel this may be an issue with the game it self. even a pentium D should have no problems here, aw well EA are horrible and won't see a patch coming for a long time. This is just as bad as rockstar's attempts in particular bully

 

[LittleLizard]

call me when ea does something right with nfs because THEY ARE MESSING UP A GOLD EGG CHICKEN
