Game Runs Slowly

Postby bigball12 on Wed Jan 28, 2009 1:18 pm

Hey, I finally got the game to run because I had to buy a new VC. The game looks awesome but runs extremely slowly. The menus and everything leading up to the game are fine, but when I get to the quick game menu with team and jersey select, and the game it self it runs really slowly. Is there anyway to speed things up? I weven set all the settings to low and it is a little laggy, but much better then before. My computer is slow opening programs, but once they open, they are fine. Here are my specs:

Dell inspiron e510
Pentium 4 HT processor 3 GHz
512 MB of Ram (Do I need more ram?)
Visiontec ATI Radeon HD 3650 1 GB memory.

I have 4g of ram on a dual processor w/ 3GHz and the game still lags for me. Forget the ram, you need a new cpu. I need a new cpu.

If ram isn't an issue, it has to be the cpu.

To run the game with ultra high details, you definitely need a dual core CPU, and you need a LOT more Ram. I'm running at 2GB DDR2 ram, and it runs pretty well. I get around 45 FPS with the follwing setup

AMD x2 5600 Dual Core
ATI Radeon 3850 512 MB Video
2GB DDR2 Mushkin PC 8500 RAM

Runs pretty well.

Well it may be a ram problem. I called geek squad and gave them examples of my computer issues, they thought it was ram. I said it took forever for apps to open, but once they open, they run fine. But since the game is constantly refreshing, the ram has to catch up. I am getting an extra 2 GB of ram tonight. Ill let you guys know what happens.

your processor should be a quad core one with at least 512mb VC with shader 3.0 at least... it is not a RAM issue but your memory module should be at least 1gb.
