XP to Win 7
Posted: 2011-05-30 21:16
I ran XP professional during .85 and had all the video settings maxed and experienced smooth game play. Shortly before the release of, what i believe, was .909 I stopped playing due to mainly time constraints.
During that period I reformatted my PC to Win 7 32bit. Shortly after that I wanted to get back into PR. I installed and configured my settings similar to what they were when i had previously been playing. I loaded into Silent Eagle for the first time and came into a significantly lower fps. It was unplayable in denser areas like central village and still very jerky in the open areas.
Ive since lowered my settings to more the med-low range and generally can play with decent fps on most maps. I cannot play Gaza, Beirut, Fallujah and several others. I played on muttrah with maxed settings very smoothly on XP in .85 but now I cannot even play it on med-low settings.
My Specs:
Intel 915 board
Pentium 4 3.2ghz
4 gigs of memory
Nvidia 8600GT 512mb
I dont know if this is due to win 7 being more taxing on my system or if the recent patches simply require more power. Or if theres tweeking i need to do somewhere to help even things out. Any ideas people have would be great.
Thanks
