Sims 2, The - Apartment Life Message Board  

For some reason I can't get amazing frames with my computer & I have very good hardware like the following:



WIndows XP SP3
P4 3.4GHZ
2GB 667MHZ DDR2 of RAM
Diamond Radeon 5670 1GB
OCZ Tech 600W
1440X900 with 75HZ

So I am only not getting make performance like max frames. Also its latest patch & have all expansions except for the party packs?
So let me know ASAP so I can some great frames.

After all maybe you need better machine,...DDR2 is not most impressive and P4,...maybe you need new hardware anyway or game is not optimized well

what do u mean by my game is not optimized well?

well there is a lots of games like Crysis,...you can have latest and best hardware but Crysis just can't go over 40-50 FPS
it is not your fault if game is not optimized,...maybe I am wrong,..

thanks I will check that out to try to raise the frames for my computer.

to the op,
personally regarding your system specs i would say you have a reasonable system and there is nothing wrong with ddr2 ram, especially considering that with an intel chipset you would need to buy a corei7 cpu and a new x58 mainboard to upgrade to ddr3 ram, imo i think you get poor fps in games due to your gpu, the ati 2600hd is about 3-4 years old now so personally i would upgrade that, if you have an agp system you could get a ati 3850hd with 512mb gddr3 ram or for a pci-e system then get a 4850hd with 512mb ram.

ps. sorry about the wall'o text, my punctuation is not my strong area

I see I will check which graphics card to install, well I upgrade my 2600 HD 512MB to Diamond Radeon 5670 1GB.
