Hey all,

I wanna know how you guys think CFS3 should be running on my PC.

I have

P4 2.4Ghz
256mb DDR RAM
Intel 845G Extreme Graphics Card 64mb Intergrated.


I have to run my CFS3 on detail settings all 1 to get an FPS of about 25 going to about 15 in heavy action.

If i put it on all settings 2 it goes down to about 5 anywhere near the ground or in action.

Could it be cause of my graphics card? Cause i think that the Intel Graphics Cards share the actual System RAM instead of having their own.

Im not too sure, maybe i should buy some more RAM or a new Video card.

I was looking at buying another 512MB DDR Ram or just a new vid card.

Please tell me how you think it should be running or if anyone is using the same Graphics Card tell me how yours runs.

I am looking for any help on this.

Also any recomendations on cards would be nice if you dont mind.

Thanx Alot.

I think that your graphic card slows down your system very much and 265MB of RAM isn

My system specs are listed in my signature. I have the game running at 4 aircraft, 4 terrain, 3 scenery, 2 effects, 2 clouds. I get about 18-20fps, which is good because 16fps is what cinema movies run at. You'll probably want to but both ram and a video card. Intel ones are very poor and chances are that it's integrated with your mobo, ones like that are very slow and hog other resources.
512DDR should be perfect and ram is fairly cheap. If you want a cheap video card, try a GeforceFX 5200 128mb or maybe a Ti 4200. The FX5200 is only about $90US but I ordered one off eBay at $67US a couple of weeks ago. The TI 4200 I've seen for arround  $200 Canadian, about $150 US.
