Wha do i need more to be able to run the game in extream qualty

[dixyer]

<p>my system Win 7 64bit 24gb ram (800mhz),  <span>i7-960 quad core</span> (overclocked to 3.6 mhz) , Gigabyte GTX 590 PCI-E2.0 3072MB GDDR5,120GB SATA3 OCZ SSD (550mb read/write), ping holds at 100 - 160 connected va 1.5mbs dsl.</p><p>runing game in very high qualty with shaders 3.0 and extra lighting from the torges and shaders 3.0 extras like light and darkening (dont rememer the name of them all) at 1920x1200 and it go's lowest to 16 fps (PQ with over 40 ppl) but in instances and normal raid holds lowest 25 ftp normal around 30-40fps and go's up to 60 fps.</p><p>there are no programs runing in background exept  mediaplayer (music) and the game has some issues with ingame videos like in accend instance in always crases there and using profit ui and ingame browser is close it crashes the game .. havent tryed for wile i haird that it my be something with the soe .. </p>

<p>check the nvidia driver, make sure Power management is set to Performance and not adaptive as a first check.  I run with shader 3.0 off (still not working right) and shadows off (hate them) and get higher frame rates then what you report - I am running a system close to yours - I980X, 24GB of memory, SSD boot and 1TB of SAS raid 10, althoguht I have multiple 580's</p>

<p>Isn't too much you can do to improve performance outside of fine-tuning some settings.  There are more client performance improvements coming beyond what just hit with GU60.  By the end of this year it's expected to double what it used to be... easily.  I'd say by GU61 in August we should be looking at some really nice framerates as well as more graphics features.</p>

<p>I do not have any problems with shadows or shader 3.0 exept the crash form ingame videos.. it look realy grate .. if i anderstand this it softwere rathere then my hardwere .. im runing newest drv. and my pc is on perfromane for the power cunsumson.. as the name of the post saying what more do i need to be able to run the game in extreme graphics .. i know the game only uses one core of my cpu tho it saying it uses multycore .. and my screencard fan will not go in full motion as in crisis 2 and The Witcher 2 .. so i know the game is not using all my hardwhere ... are there future updates that will enable useage of all my hardwere .. and is the game more cpu usages then gpu my cpu fan whont start ethere in the game but in the beforeg game title's it will</p><p>Had the same problem with my old system i thot i whut get better performance out of this build .. i hope the will fix the game engene for propper hardewere useages ...</p><p>what i see the game dosent need faster hdd,  it need lot of cpu but i thank it not using all of my gpu</p><p>i see no diffrence in memmoy usages i tryed extreem fast memmory 6-8-6-24 1600 mhz 6gb .. i did not see any diffrens on that and my current 24gb 800 mhz ...</p><p>i have also tread 2 screencards it seems to me the softwhere or the programing of the game can't use more then one so no diffrences in haveing 2 screencards ..</p><p>so my questun is what do need 4000 mhz cpu or more</p>

Litle diffrence by seting this asaptive to prefer maximum perfromance ... I did litle experament wile runing shaders 3.0 on in perfromance / raid / high / very high and extrem there is no diffrence in frame raid in any of them expt extrem high qualty .. so the problom is shader 3.0 not my hardwere .. find it frustrating from soe to alow the option if it so porly coded from the start .. im going to try with out the shader 3.0 and see what happens .. but i will lose some cool effect's i think ... i will post my resolts after .. but i have not gat ansere yet for how mush more hardwere i need to run the game in Extreme High qualty .. or is the game un runable in to days hardwere on thos setting's ?
