Slowdown... What slowdown?

[TinnionA97]

on a P4 2.0Ghz with GF4 MX420 and 512MB Ram

800x600 high detail is slowish all the way through, but 800x600 med detail has no slowdown.

I dunno what the problem.

 

[bazzerbeech]

same here it runs perfect on my pc

p.s great game

 

[Elvir]

uhhm TinnionA install new drivers mate!!

works with me

 

[TinnionA97]

Elvir, if youd read my post you would have seen I was saying there was no problem with it - a lot of people were saying it had major slowdown so I was wondering what the problem could be.

thats strange... i have 2.2ghz, 1gig ram and Gforce4 MX 440 and it slows down
maybe it's the 440?
or the op.system? I have Win2K whats yours?

 

[TinnionA97]

Its not my computer, but the graphics are GF 4 MX 420 and its Windows XP. There's loads of junk running in the background as well.

Oh let me clarify, low detail on 800x600 has absolutely no slowdown, med ocasional slowdown and high quite a lot.

Its still playable mind you

 

[rado907]

im guessing 420>440

I have a geforce 4 mx 420 but I have 384mb RAM and I get slowdown on the lowest possible settings. Maybe that extra ram makes a difference?

a little bit fast

The game runs a little bit fast on my computer. Although the duration of each halves is 5 minutes, I found I don't need 10 minutes to complete a game.

My computer's config:
AMD AthlonXP 1800+ (11.5 * 133)
512 MB DDR RAM (FSB133)
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro w/ Catalyst 3.8
Seagate 60GB Hard disk 7200rpm 2MB cache

 

[TinnionA97]

GF4 MX 420 is worse than the MX 440!

The Don, what is your processor speed please?

 

[Lawrence]

What about GeForce FX 5200?

 

[TinnionA97]

FX5200 is 'supported' by the game and it is DX9, so that really should be fine.

Its nowhere near as good as any of the other DX 9 cards out now though.(Or the GF4 Tis and radeon 8500 plus)

i havent got any slowdown
i started the settings utility
great job by konami btw
letting u change every button
not like fifa
it ran fine
only thing i notice
is when the cinematics come on
like after scoring goals or whatever
the speed drops
i did fraps
and i get 60 on the field
then it drops to 30 in the cinematics
i think thats the way the ps2 version is
maybe on ps2 u dont notice the drop
cause its harder to recognize
on pc it is

sorry for bad spelling and gramar its 2am here and im tried

 

[iamhurtin]

btw i forgot to post my specs
my computer is old at over 2 years
abit kg7-raid
athlon 1.4gig
512 pc 2100 ddr ram
gf3
creative live(the cheap one )
seagate 80gig
playing it at 1024x768 on highest detail with my monitor res set as high as it goes 85(cheap compaq monitor)
runs really good
though i really configue my system well
so maybe thats why
one tip i have
if u have norton anti-virus 2004
turn off auto protect before u play games
i find it makes mine run smoother
espiclaly sport games
i cant play madden 04 without it

Don't press return at the end of each line please - makes it hard to read.

You've got a decent graphics card - it makes it easier to run games. Thats the only reason for having it.

I don't know If I'd consider a computer old at 2 years.

 

[iamhurtin]
