gfx card to run supreme commander in dualscreen

[snowdog]

On remote desktop

Is LAN/internet bandwith high enough to allow gaming accross remote desktop?

Nope, you cant use 3d appz over RD, i tried to play cs over it

Running my two monitors in 1280x1024 (85hz and 60hz) with my x1950Pro with details either set to min or high and it runs great =D No slow downs what so ever.

so yeah everyone saying there SC runs fine are all using core 2 setups well over 3ghz ! nuff said really ! lol

Aye it's not slowed down for me yet either.

Did get a BSOD once though.

In most reviews I have read, it does seem to be CPU bound. Later today I plan on doing a few quick tests, running the game in Dual Mode, and then Single display, to see how much (if any) smoother the game actually is.

I will also play around with different resolutions too.

I am guessing that with one display the CPU makes massive differences, and a "low-medium" GPU is more than enough, with 2 displays though, in theory it is putting the GPU thru double the work.

CPU is definately far more important for SC. I used a 7300GT on medium details and it was fine for 1v1 but as more units appear a machine really feels the pressure (or more AI players etc).

 

[Magic Man]

A game like this is massively CPU bound taking care of all units, orders etc. Graphics wise it's a doddle for GPUs.

The issue the OP has is probably purely down to the fact that he's running a 3d app over dual card outputs.

I am not sure if this anyone but:

2x 1680x1050 = 43FPS roughly. Single display is about 80 FPS.

That is an 8800 GTS at 660/2040, 2gb of ram, Conroe @ 3300mhz.
