Dues Ex Dual Core Performance and Texture mod questions

[Spathy]

Never played the game before but..

How well does Dues Ex 1 run on Dual Core processors? Does it run crazy fast like Commandoes: Behind Enemy Lines does?

Also does it have any texture or resolution mods that improve the graphics? Because the game is sure showing its age ten years later.

If so which is the better texture mod?

I'm not intrested in Invisible War, i don't want waste money on 2 games just in case i don't like the first one.

Also does Dues Ex 1 suffer from other problems on modern systems that i'm not aware of?

You really ought to read through the sticky thread. It (and a few other recent threads) contains this link which should answer your questions: http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/index.htm

I guess i will wait to the next sale. Seems like the texture mod isn't complete.

The texture mod is dead - it's probably never going to be completed. However, the game still looks good without it, sure it's dated, but higher res texture isn't what the game is about.

Go download a DX10 renderer and you'll be right.

I got Windows XP so i can't do this.

You're gonna wait an looooong time, since the developpement of this mod has taken the same way as Duke Nukem Forever.

However, don't miss the sale. With my tutorial (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1235278), you already obtain decent graphics.

Then install a DX9 renderer that's also available on the web and activate V-Sync.
