This is the badest Pc I have aroud here but can play TC,I also have an Alinware PC,but for that the overall average framerate is 120.3fps.
I realy don't know how it works ,because in the manual it's sayed minimum 2.0Ghz??????
The bad graphic card is overclocked.The original graphic card specifications are very funny.

I would like to try the X3 Reunion rolling demo but it's copyprotected.

Guys, here's a major idea. When I was first looking at getting X3, I downloaded that rolling demo thinking that it was an actual playable demo. Turns out it was a benchmark, so guys, just call it what it is, a benchmark/tech demo, it saves a lot of confusion on the guys who are looking at buying x3.

I've just had a look and the download page definitely says it's a rolling demo and not a playable demo so no-one should get confused :)
My (new) PC:-

Intel® Core™ i7-4770 processor (3.4 GHz, 8 MB cache)
Microsoft Windows 10
16 GB DDR3 Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

RE: LightningFire


Your 4670 ATI driver is listed as;
Driver: 6.14.0010.6891
My driver; Catalyst 9.1

Driver: 6.14.0010.6903

What version is that? 6891?
Is that the beta ATi Catalyst 8.561.3 drivers they had problems with?

Not much of a hit at all, really, to crank up the resolution. I would love to play at this rez, if only the text in the game was resolution-independent.

Quite a difference, and the visual effect in 7 are far better.
If things don't change, they'll stay as they are.

Hi,

Just did an upgrade from a BFG 8800GT OC2 to a GTX 275. Also added another 4gb of ram taking me to 8gb, purely because long TC sessions would see me run out of RAM & start hitting the swap file.

Thought I'd share the results:

As you can see the settings are the same for both runs - all driver level settings are at defaults too.

Interesting how there's no difference on the 'Trade' scores despite a much more powerful GPU - CPU limited possibly? Odd as while busy no core is ever anywhere near max.

Might be in part down to the 'loading blip' during that scene which gives a low FPS while there's HDD activity...guess it didn't have all it needed already loaded for that scene, who knows.

Btw: CPU is running at 3.6 not 2.4ghz as reported. TC always gets this wrong for some reason.

Cheers,

Scoob.

Impressive results from a 90Euro video card. The W7 drivers are not so good yet - hope new drivers will boost it more :P
