Hello all,
Here is the issue I just picked up Stalker a few hours ago and installed it with great excitement only to find it is running like a '87 Corsica on my box. Here are the specs at present.
AMD Athlon X2 4800+, ASUS A8N SLI-Premium, 4GB OCZ PC 3200, Raptor 36GB, 250GB SATA II, NEC 16x DVD-RW, EVGA 7800GTX.
I used to have SLI until one of my cards bought the farm so I am now down to 1. The game runs like crap on even 1280x1024 and is barely playable at 1024x768 (I have a 1920x1200 Display). Drivers are up to date and I am running on XP X64 edition. Has anyone else had a similar experience if so what have you tried to resolve it. With 4GB of RAM I do have my page file turned off as it isn't really needed, but doubt that is related to my present issue.
I have been waiting for this game for quite some time and am a bit displeased that it runs so poorly on my box which I don't believe is really THAT outdated. When the good old tax return arrives I'll pick up an 8800, but then the question is GTX, GTS, or GT. GTX if I get the cash, but is the GTS faster then this 7800? Thanks for the posts ahead of time.
