My System enough for CFS3

Postby GonnaKillBill09 » Sun May 29, 2005 11:28 am

Hi,New user here on the forums and i wanted to know if  my system is capable of running CFS3 WELL, because I've been playing CFS3 and I've been experiencing low-frame rates

I Have


ATI All-In-Wonder PCI Graphics Card

Windows 2000 with 256 MB of RAM

Pentium 4 CPU 1.70 GHz

Also,would the 3.1 Patch help, or the No-CD Patch?

Thanks,
            Bill

It will probably run cfs3 but with very low settings and it will not necessarily run well but it will sure look ugly.
The minimum specs for me would be :
- a 2Ghz CPU
- a DX9 compliant card (9800pro is a cheap good one)
- 512Mo of Ram

The 3.0 patch is the one that helps the most performance wise. 3.1 just upgrades two or three planes but is necessary to play in some MP rooms.

My Machine RAN CFS3 terribly bad with an old 1.8 p4, 512MB RAM & 128MB GeForce FX5600, I would'nt expect too much!

My current machine (in my sig below) was'nt much better until I replaced the GeForce FX with my current 6800LE.

You only have 256MB System RAM, thats barely enough for the Operating System!

In short, I don't think CFS3 would run well at all.

Get CFS2 until you upgrade your PC.

I saw this on some site when cfs3 first came out and haven't seen it since. go to cfs3 root folder/file whatever. open the default folder. open cfs3 xml with notepad look for "fps 0" or similar and change to "fps 30" It worked for me. At least it helps

My 2 cents worth.
