Max Payne Slow down!

[Marvelii]

i have a ga-5aa w/k62 500mhz,128mb and a tnt2 m64 AGP. y is it when theres alot of things on screen it slows down into 10fps. but then when its theres nothin much on screen it goes like 30fps. what has a major impact my cpu or my videocard? it also happens 2 quake3 and collin mcrea rally 2.

Boy. That sounds serious.

Maybe your video card is going out?

It's your CPU and your video card, mostly your video card. Try bumping down the resolution, and/or going to 16-bit color.

just hope it wont happen on a athlon xp 1800+ GeForce 3, been waiting to try out max payne after everything ive heard about it

 

[BunnyStroker]

An athlon 1.4 tbird with a GF3 can run at the highest resolution and never dip below 60 fps.

Of course, that won't keep you interested in the game for more than a week or two - trust me.

Yeah, you said it.

I just played through the entire thing last weekend. The sniper rifle is really neat, and when you chuck a greande and bullet time kicks in and shows the guy flying is neat too.

Overall, just neat. Not awesome or enthralling, just neat. Multiplayer might have actually been worth buying the game.

Rich is the nation that has many war heroes. Long since forgotten...

I run Max Payne on my P2-266, Geforce2 MX, 640x480x32 without problems...


Blame Canada! Blame Can-a-daaa!

My brother runs it on a K6-2 400, 64mb ram with voodoo3 3000 at 800x600 no chops at all

Blame the newbies not the technology

 

[AMD_cErTiFiEd]

"Blame Canada! Blame Can-a-daaa!"

what do you mean by that




Blame the newbies not the technology

 

[Jake75]

I mean blame Canada.

No, it´s actually that silly song in Southpark, it´s on my mind right now...all the time.


Blame Canada! Blame Can-a-daaa!

I had a TNT 2 Ultra and a p3 at 600, and I got fairly good fps at 800x600 at medium to low detail settings. Looked good and only got badly choppy in the intro sequence and in the lobby of the main tower building.
