Low FPS with better computer

[Jqui]

<p>Okay, I used to play EQ2 a year ago. Had a 73 Defiler and others. Used to play on very high quality and would get great fps, would get decent fps on maximum qual. I stopped playing and now tried again and i have a much better computer but the game looks worse and i get very low fps on Max qual. Anyone have any ideas?</p><p>Comp is:</p><p>Quadcore 2.4ghz</p><p>4gb ddr2 ram</p><p>nvidia gtx 260 superclocked edition 896mb</p>

<p>Try going through your graphics settings using the great guide at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/EQ2Graphics" target="_blank">The Complete Guide to EQ2 Graphics Settings</a>.</p><p>They've changed the way shadows work - you may need to adjust that. But the guide above will help you adjust settings for better performance -- some things just slow you down without giving you any visual benefit.</p>

Unfortunately your quadcore will not help eq2 a lot as it still uses more or less only one core of them.</p><p>Make sure multicoresupport is activated in eq2 (doesn't help much but better than nothing *g*) and try the new GPU settings for shadows.</p><p>Other than that you would get more performance with a core2duo 3ghz (or more) than your quadcore 2,4ghz.
