CPU too Slow or 8800GTS probs with Stalker/Vista
Hi all,
I think my new 8800GTS 320mb graphics card is CPU limited when running stalker at 1680x1450 resolution. I have a smithfield dual core Pentium 4 overclocked to 4.0ghz as shown on the Toms Hardware website.
Basicaly I thought my old x1800XT ATI card was not up to the job of running stalker at high res (due to 22" monitor) so I got a nVidia 8800GTS instead. Thing is that when I go outside in stalker with mderate to high settings the gameplay goes to about 10fps.
I know there were/are issues with vista/stalker and nvidia drivers but I have the latest drivers and also 2gig of DDR2 ram running at 800mhz.
Is a core 2 duo needed or do you think I simply have driver issues? Any suggestions or comments most welcome!
Cheers for your time, Matt.
