EQ2

[PyrostasisTDK]

PyrostasisDTK:
I run a core2duo6850 3GhZ. 8GB1000mhz of ram. Ati4870 512mb.
but i could still do this with a 8800gts320mb the key component is RAM with my setup i use 7GB of ram when i run 6clients 8) And i have no lagg fps runs around 30-40, The people that tell u that the cpu is important to play eq2 dont know they are talking about.

Got it from the devs, here's the dev blog talking about it. https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?bl...20586871988302

The key part is here.

"We're working towards improving client performance on new systems but don't have any concrete information or dates to release at the moment.

Currently, the following hardware upgrades may improve EQ2 performance.

Increase RAM (up to 4gb)
Increase hard disk access times
Increase CPU speed

CPU's with multiple cores and SLI setups don't currently offer significant performance benefits for EQ2."

Regarding the shader info, if everyone knew the reasoning why things were done they were, I think they'd be more understanding. When EQ2 went into development, they wanted to support GeForce3, and wanted the game to look just as good on lower hardware. So the only choice was to do many things on the CPU since the graphics card couldn't do it. The idea at the time was that as processors got faster, the performance would improve over time. Unfortunately science didn't lead us in that direction. So if you want to run the game on a GeForce3 today, it will still look awesome!

Thats why Im shocked that you get the performance that you do, according to the devs you shouldnt be able to do what you do, and according to my tests I have no idea with your setup you are, unless they have made changes in the past 6 months or so (which is entirely possible).

What does innerspace show your mem usage and fps at during six boxing?

Do you use any mods to reduce the over head from EQ2? or just straight up innerspace or IS/Keyclone?

What game settings do you use?
