Hi! Just returned to AO after 5 years i think. The problem is that i get very poor FPS. Staying in starter island doing nothing gets me 7-8 fps. My PC is realy old (Pentium 3 933mhz, 512mb RAM, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 64mb). My system is well optimized and the drivers are up to date. I know i don't have the best hardware by far but i remember playing fine on a 1ghz processor with the same gpu. Can anyone plz recommend me some tweaks so i can get to a decent framerate? Thx

(P.S.: I cant post this question on the official forums because i have a fr00b account)

You are pretty far behind, look to your graphics effects is about all I can say...

I tried different settings but the only one that can boost my fps to 15 is the view distance. The texture detail and the others give me 2-3 fps.

Edit: It was something in the graphics effects. Now i have 20-22 fps. Thx a lot!

Probably buffs, but to be honest, you could do with a larger processor... But have fun ^^

Invest 50.- bucks in a nvidia 9500GT.

edit:
ahrg, thats PCIe ..

No sorry Sir, you need to upgrade your PC and it will cost you about 200.- bucks.
