Do you raid in Balanced mode or higher? - Page 6

I don't care enough about the game anymore to try and squeeze .005% more performance out of it with hundreds of dollars of gear. The fucking engine is shit, everyone knows it's shit.

yup yup, it is pretty much fucked archon.

Will be time to put shiny new things in my computer soonish (and get rid of this fucking ridiculous psu) and Ill be doing it with an eye on other games, rather than eq2.

I bet they dont and I dont beleive in their 50-60fps on raids anyway. Not in this game.

Maybe you would believe if your machine was capable to do it, but I guess it cant.

shut up, your quad core doesnt mean shit in this game, aswell as SLI and 8 gigs of ram. unless you prove that you have 60+ fps on raids - it's utter bullshit.

im running with high textures, no shadows, very high particles with spell results set to 0, animation all at max with cloth simulation etc at 1650x1080, 4xAA 16xAF at around 20 fps in fights depending on zone. hoping i can do max textures after lu44 without crashing :p

Maybe he plays with the UI disabled and staring at the ground?

i have the following setup

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 (default timers)
RAM: 2GB DDR2 Corsair XMS-2 PC6400 CAS4
MOBO: Abit AW9D-MAX
GFX: Ati x1950XTX
Hard Drive: Maxtor SATA II 200GB 8MB cache 7200 RPM

OS: Windows XP Professional (with Service Pack 2)
Screen Resolution: 1280x960 (Windowed)

When i first bought this pc (with only essential stuff installed) i could raid at 20+ FPS in Screenshot quality (referring to profit video settings from now on), now that's been a year and almost 4 months i can raid in screenshot quality with some stuttering on contesteds (mainly due to shadows), but for FRAPSing and general gameplay i use Quality settings (with no client-side problems at all). I think i could get back to having no issues with just a defrag and reinstalling EQ2 but i cba (never defragged since i got the PC)
