LOC Veteran Posted June 9, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2005 im using mx440 4x agp so i know it works 586039175[/snapback] That's weird, I know I saw some dev say a card with at least Pixel Shader 2.0 support was needed to even run the game. Oh well, if its working on your system must have been a wonky dev or misquoted :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spielo Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Well, the game arrived in the post this morning and I can only describe the performance as "disappointing". Running on a P4 2.6GHz, Radeon 9800Pro, 1.5GB PC3200, it's just a bit shoddy. I don't care about the look of the game, it's a PS2 port, so I wasn't expecting new high poly models, high res textures and all the rest of it... But the reason I didn't buy the PS2 version and held off for the PC version was that I didn't want the load times/poor draw distance/low frame rate of the PS2 version. The load times are fine, the draw distance is reasonable, but the frame rate is very shoddy indeed. Sometimes it's silky smooth, other times it's jumping about all over the place. Considering how basic the graphics are, the game really shouldn't have this sort of problem. I haven't tried turning off the frame rate limiter yet (I just assumed that would cause the game to run too fast), but so far I'm just a little bit disappointed. I'll still enjoy the game, but it's just a bit irritating that I waited all this time to play San Andreas without the hardware limitations of the PS2, and instead I'm left with the software limitations of the game!

Rahul Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 It's "my" not "mah".And why would you care if you have it on your PS2? but if you are really interested it should play fairly well. 586038582[/snapback] bro you aint a nigga are you ?????? :fro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the same for me. I enjoy the game, too. I just thought that Rockstar could do a bit more with it and earn my $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexess Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I understand that my system isnt super dooper, so I run it at lower settings. What I mean by quality, again and again, is characters disappearing sometimes, I only see their outlines sometimes. Though, i've found a fix for my system: setting graphics detail on "LOW" and running it at 1024x768 is smooth as butter. AND! it also fixes the sounds. I can once again hear the cars, all the speech (even the ones made inside the car), hoes asking to get some, etc :D. I think I was also originally annoyed because it felt a little "weird" and I guess too "flimsy" at first, but I think once you play for a couple hours, you get used to it.

Max Veteran Posted June 9, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2005 Make sure you go AMD 586039314[/snapback] Great. So this guy has to change his CPU, motherboard and possibly RAM, for outdated hardware (AGP stuff) otherwise you gotta get another graphics card to add to that. :rolleyes: Just get a P4, the FPS difference directly between AMD and Intel is debatable. It will even run okay on the Celeron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Ofcourse it runs on non Pixel Shader cards, PS2 doesn't even support anything on par with PS or anything, the graphics card on the PS2 is on par with DirectX7 technologies... If you ran other lame ports of these PS2 series beforet you can run this one, and yes you can on MX cards too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ateoto Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 My System: Intel P4 3.2Ghz 1024MB DDR400 RAM ATi Radeon 9800Pro Audigy Gamer Sound Card Works beautifully on mine and looks better than Vice City (Not by much) 1280x1024 32 4x AA Draw Distance Maxed Out. I think it looks good and I have no sound or graphics problems to report. However it did crash on me and I had to redo two semi-tough missions. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nookadum Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Well, I don't know about you guys, but the graphics suit the game fine. Just like Vice City. The guys at GTASanAndreas.net are enjoying the it quite well: http://www.gtasanandreas.net/screenshots/g....php?image=1886 http://www.gtasanandreas.net/screenshots/g....php?image=1887 http://www.gtasanandreas.net/screenshots/g....php?image=1888 San Andreas PC at 1680x1050, full visuals, 2xAA And they reported no sound problems, frame limiter off, 80+ FPS. http://images.gtanet.com/images/t_1891.png Looks great even on a movie theatre screen. :yes: Anyway, if you can't enjoy the game at all, either: a) This type of gameplay is not for you. b) Your PC is causing problems. c) You're too hooked to graphics to actually tap into the gameplay. :( However, I do agree with those who already have (and completed) the PS2 version. It's not that worth buying it unless you want the extra features and modification support later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yochanan Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Negative, the game will not run on a MX440. That card was specificially mentioned in a recent press release that it will not support it. 586038848[/snapback] Oh really? Then why is my friend playing it on a PIII 933 MHz 384 MB RAM GeForce4 MX 440-SE 64 MB? Looks fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ride Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I will get the game these days along with a new graphics card.If the graphics are like those in GTA:VC, that's O.K. for me, totaly. I'm sure I could play it with my GeForce2 MX 400 64MB but not to well. I'll get a [ASUS] ATi Radeon 9550 GE (Gamer's Edition) 128MB (128-bit).

Krpano Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Imo the game looks ok...nothing really spetacular about the graphics. The game play still nice and im happy with that. But, my pc suffer to run this game. Its an AMD 3200+, 1GB DDR400, Radeon 9800 Pro. Im running the game at medium settings at 1024x768. With no doubt im going to sell all my PCs and get me a notebook, for games ill buy the X360 when it comes out. Really no reason to keep spending huge amounts of money to play.

Looks fine to me. 586040182[/snapback] Did you see my other post? I said I saw a dev interview posted a few days ago where the MX440 series was specificially mentioned as not being able to work with the game because a Shader 2.0 supported card was needed. Obviously this is not the case, and either the dev was misquoted, or the information I read was out of date or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
