well, since im getting a car, i didn't have much money to get a new computer, so i figure i upgraded it....now i have a amd sepron 2.8, i use to have a amd athlon 1.2, i also upgraded and got a new video card, i had a radeon 128 mb 9600 series, now i have a nvidia geforce 256 mb 6200....i still have 512 of ram, and a 80 gb of hard drive. i can tell a difference, but not alot...im dissapointed because i thought i was going to be able to run nfsu2 on high everything and still run smooth....but if i put everything on it just runs slow....can you guys help me out..and tell me what to upgrade so im able to put everything on and at highest settings and still run like it would with nothing on.....

help! =(

try some driver upgrade for your gfx card, that helps sometimes, dunno what else you can do.

Actually, a 6200 is pretty shiznit unless you overclock it.

The processor isn't that great, I think it's an average right now.

Upgrade processor and videocard. Any AMD64 processor and a 6600GT.

A faster videocard is what you need. Racing games are not very cpu intensive. Your 2.8 Sempron is quite enough. Harddrive really isn't a factor as far as game smoothness is conserned. 512 MB of RAM is enough, but more wouldn't hurt

Go for 6600GT atleast (or X700 if Ati).

El1jonMC305 · Post by **El1jonMC305** » 25 May 2005, 16:15

okay thanks alot, i might be buying it today.....then...because like i said, i want to run the game on everything on and on high settings and still run as if everything was off.
okay im shooting for the 6600 gt you said....but can you give me the exact name of it because i seen different ones with like XFX,NVIDIA etc...

thanks alot guys!!! i really hope i can run the game how i want with the new video card.

okay now....seriously...im gunna buy the stuff today later on....i need to know...what i will need to run nfsu2 on all settings as high as you can go!!! and still run as smooth as you would with everything off!!! tell me what i need because, i don't wanna buy the stuff and still not able to run it...because then i'll get pissed off....so please guys help me

Really doesn't matter who the manufacturer is. As long as the chipset (6600GT) and the RAM amout you're going for are the same, performance differences between manufacturers are all but unmeasurable.

Naturally there are cheap manufacturers and more expensive ones. I'd shoot some where in the middle of the price range; no need to pay premium, but also one should avoid possible inferior components (usually the biggest factor being quality of RAM used on the card, even affects performance a little bit).

El1jonMC305 · Post by **El1jonMC305** » 25 May 2005, 17:11

should i just get the XFX 6600 gt it has 128 mb i belive. AMD Sepron 2.8, 512 ddr ram, XFX 6600 GT = good enough to run nfsu2 at full blast and perfect smoothness?

or should i try and upgrade to a amd 64 3200?... or is it not so needed?

btw my brand name for ram is called kingston.....i think it sucks.....can that also be affecting?

Triskac · Post by **Triskac** » 25 May 2005, 17:21

Kingston doesnt sucks

El1jonMC305 · Post by **El1jonMC305** » 25 May 2005, 17:32

cmon guys shed me some light, im going to be ordering the parts online, so cmon i need to know what i should upgrade without spending too much money....im thinking about getting another 512 of ram, and maybe upgrading again my motherboard and cpu, maybe get a amd 64 3000, and the XFX GeForce 6800 Ultra....

only problem is that....right now i have a Thermal w.e 450 watt power supply....do you think that is enough?

Triskac · Post by **Triskac** » 25 May 2005, 17:34

hehe, of course its enough, 450w thermal take got enough power for 2 office PCs

El1jonMC305 · Post by **El1jonMC305** » 25 May 2005, 17:58

okay so im going to go to tiger direct in a little, bit im going to see if i can get a new motherboard that can support a amd 64 3000, another 512 of ram, and the 6800 ultra, im pretty sure i'll be able to even run doom 3 on max settings and still play perfectly right?

so then my specs would be AMD 64 3000, 1024 ddr ram, 6800 ultra

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 25 May 2005, 19:50

That should be enough for anything. 6800 ultra is pretty much the fastest possible at the moment. And the cpu isn't bad either.

This will cost you quite a bit though...

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 27 May 2005, 04:21

would all of this work if i got more RAM and a new processor?

Dell Dimension 2400
Currently:Intel Celeron 2.40 GHz
512 MB of RAM
Intel Extreme Graphics 82845G
Windows XP SP2

if these suck and i know the probaly do.. can any 1 tell me any oveclockin sites or sumthin like that or some advice for smoother gameing because i think UG2 will run better on my comp than UG1 in terms of speed (in somewhat differnce) but not with looks because the higher i put the setting on UG2 demo the slower it goes so i have to put it on the 2nd setting (Medium-Low)

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 27 May 2005, 06:22

Besides the Intel Graphics, this is a fairly average system for today (that is, fast enough for most games).

then why is it so laggish on the UG series

Get rid of cr-applets running in the background and set your settings on what you card can handle. I reccomend turning off certain things a cheap card may have trouble with (I.E. Enhanced Contrast, AA, Fog, M Blur)

After my recent upgrade, i can finally use EC

The Intel Extreme Graphics is a motherboard integrated graphic device. It's performance is no where near any decent separate graphic card. For example ANY Radeon 9x00 series (and their nvidia equivalents) will out perform it.

That's why.

ohhh kool but for some reason before i updated my drivers UG1 was kinda getting faster like on the console in drift but then when i updated the drivers it became slow again

It happens. Not all driver updates are for the better...
