My config is:
Quad Core Q6600 2.4
GeForce 8800 GTX (~768MB)
NForce 680i
But my screen resolution is 1920 * 1200
I play with Shadows and Vegetation off, but even with low graphics settings, I can manage only about 20fps.
I have the MSAA issue as well.
A couple of things might help:
- Disable your antivirus prior to play the game
- Perform a defrag on the drive you installed the game
- Make sure you have at least 1Gb free on your HD drive c:\ (for windows swap file)
- Install the most recent drivers for your graphics card
- Make sure you dont have unnecessary programs running in background (kazaa, emule,etc)
- Perform a registry cleanning (just google and download a free trial version)
- Go to your graphic card config and make sure you put Anti-alising and Anisotropic filtering on "aplication setting", making sure you are not forcing it to a specific value.
WIth your computer, even at 1900x1200, you should have a much better performance.
