Very bad perfomance!

[EVIL-JURA]

My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0ghz
4GB of DDR2 800MHZ RAM
XFX Nvidia Geforce 9500GT 512MB DX10
1TB Hard Drive
Windows Vista Ultimate X64

I got like 15-20 fps on LOWEST settings. My PC meets minimum requirement.

What should i do?

[Ganger]

The game is a system killer and your Geforce 9500GT card is to weak to run it without lowering down every graphic option down including screen resolution to 800x600.

As it stands I got 2x GTX 260 cards in SLi and I can only run with medium settings to have very good performance without too much frame rate drops. I think im running at 40fps at these setting.

I have set one of my cards as a Dedicated PhysX GPU and the other card for the graphics for this game. Having a Dedicated GPU helps alot. I think its time to upgrade that graphics card of yours EVIL-JURA:)

About upgrading your card m8, you know you can buy 9800's, 260's cheap these days and you can still use your 9500 as the dedicated GPU for physX games while running all 3D games via your new card.

[EVIL-JURA]

I will not buy new GPU , my pc meets minimum requirements.

This game requies 256mb GPU i have 512.

Any good answers?

9500GT is not so great for games especially for games like cryostasis, GTA4 and so fouth as its a very low end budget card, infact I won't even call the 9500gt a gaming card.

Their are no good answers really apart from using the lowest resolution with everything switched off (like Hardware physx, motion blur, shader model 2.0, shadows off, AA, AF both off and everything else on LOW settings).

You have a great CPU but cryostasis is heavy depended on your GPU and if your GPU is poor, expect poor performation. Im sorry the games runs poor on your PC but the fact is your graphic card is too low end for this game.

Cryostasis is just optimized like ♥♥♥♥ , noyhing more :mad:

EVIL-JURA, a 9500gt is a freaking joke for many modern games so either buy a new card or stop starting threads because you cant run the most demanding games made. you did the same crap with Metro 2033 where you in fact did not even meet the requirements. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1229377


thinking that your card can run demanding games because it has "512mb" shows you have little to no knowledge of video cards. sure Cryostasis is not very well optimized but will run fine with a decent gpu if you know what settings to use.

Stop trolling!

Also about that crap: Metro 2033 runs better on my GPU than Cryostasis :)

and Metro 2033 is playable on my pc with decent framerate.

My GPU meets minimum requirement of this game. So stop saying "Buy new card".

[trek554]

My GPU meets minimum requirement of this game. So stop saying "Buy new card".okay then dont post a thread ♥♥♥♥♥ing about 15-20fps on low settings because that what meeting the min requirements will get you.

[Zone_Dymo]

You guys lie, lower some settings and the games runs and looks great.

[Ganger]

Evil-Jura did you build that PC youself or buy it already build?

You spec meets the minimum requirements but it doesn't mean the game will run well at them specs. Seriously the 9500GT in your PC is bring the all of your computer down for gaming.

And if your a serious PC gamer you should be well aware that the 9500 is a poor gaming card. PC tech get old very quick, a brand new top card of today will be over shadowed in 6 months time. Its the way of PC gaming im afriad.

So what graphic settings are you using for the game ?

[Ganger]

My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0ghz

On the Metro 2033 thread you say you have 'AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0ghz' Have you have changed your motherboard and CPU since then. Or unless its a mistake.

I changed my mother board and CPU.

But ram and gpu is same.

[Ganger]

I was just reading your metro 2033 post...

FORM THE METRO 2033 THREAD.

'How the ♥♥♥♥ing xbox360 with 512mb of ram and 10mb gpu can even run this game?

All deal is optimization, pc version optimized like crap!

Update: i got this game playable with decent framerates by running it in windowed mode, even in smoke there is 22-25 fps , in full screen there was 5-10 fps .
This is good.'

'I read this thread and I have come to the conclusion that you know nothing about how PC's work. Games don't run on Ram only, games need dedcated GPU's to run well and need a good GPU at that.

[trek554]

I changed my mother board and CPU.

But ram and gpu is same.
so you upgrade your cpu to another dual core that isnt much better but you refuse to upgrade your pos graphics card? lol. that cpu upgrade would do very little even if you had a decent gpu and does absolutely nothing for you while still using a 9500gt since you are 100% gpu limited.

this helped me alot , and i finally got this game playable with decent framerate.
I am happy now. ;)

But game graphics looks like ♥♥♥♥ :o
But it's playable, i got 30 fps everywhere.

[Ganger]

Im glad Evil-Jura you have got the game to work even if the graphics looks rubbish.

But you should really change your graphics card soon if you want to keep playing the latest PC games. But do some reseach on it first:)

[Mathrakk]

Don't fool yourself Evil-Jura. The 9500gt is not a gaming card. Period. And to think you wasted money on a new motherboard and cpu which gives little improvement, but you refuse to buy a new gpu? The very thing that is bottlenecking your system?

[killab2oo5]

Maybe THIS (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=8672) will help you out.

EDIT: Eh...nvm. You found it.

[Rogersdead]

Lol Evil-jura strikes again. Another game that is unoptimised rubbish because his 9500gt won't run it very well.
This thread is near identical to the one he made about Metro 2033, even down to calling people trolls for even suggesting his card is not good enough.

I didn't asked for "Buy new GPU", "Here is suggestions for you what GPU to get" i asked about perfomance tweaks, and i got only 1 normal post in this thread.
Simply if you don't know how to help , simply do not post :mad:.

Yea and your reply to that 1 'normal' post was that the game looks like ♥♥♥♥. And you are somehow suprised by that?

The simple fact is you consider all these posts telling you to upgrade to be not helpful, but they are helpful. If you want a game like this (and especially Metro 2033) to run smooth AND look good you need to upgrade your GPU. Simple as that.

[tacc]

My PC meets minimum requirement.


I don't know where you got that from but the store page says:

3D Hardware Accelerator Card Required – 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible 256 MB Video Memory. ATI Radeon X1900 or Nvidia GeForce 7600

A 7600 ist faster than your 9500. By the way, minimum requirements only tell you what you need in order to run the game. This doesn't include a playable framerate.

[Ganger]

I think EVIL-JURA has got enough information on how to run cryostasis on his card now.

Time to close this thread for good, I think Evil-jura knows his card isn't top notch but im looking forward to Evil-jura's next thread;) Crysis 2 won't work:(

Atleast it will handle Portal 2 i am 100% sure, Valve optimizes their games like 5/5 :)

[Psycho Mantis]

The 9500gt is a horrible card and there's a reason why it's only 60 dollars because it's low end, why do you keep insisting that it's good?

[L-P]

lmao the game cost more then your card
