Low FPS

[Jumper118]

i"ve only been getting a maximum of 25fps and a minimum of 9fps on the lowest setting and it goes down to 4/5fps if i turn the setting on medium. It is getting about 14.5fps on cinebench 11.5 too . Can i do anything to improve these scores without buying a better graphic card?

I see. the reason i got it was i only had 300 to spend on my pc and that graphics card was all i could afford.

Fair enough

Yes unfortunately you are looking at paying realistically around £100 for a card that is adequate for gaming

good job Christmas is not too long then. I think i'll have to make do till then, I still need to get windows 7 and a 16:9 screen.

Guessing, it will be GDDR2 or some cheap rubbish and not GDDR5 which is expensive.

I remember years ago a mate bought a 8500GT with 1GB VRAM and gave it the biggun that his card was better than my 8800GT because it only had 768mb of VRAM

it's gddr3 at 1000mhz

well i got it because it was cheaper than the 1gb version at the time so it didn't do me any harm getting a 2gb one. It can't be any worse than the 1gb version.
