Poor preformance - good rig

[MehMan]

Hello everybody!

I really enjoy playing CM:SF, but it never really ran very good for me as I had a rather old rig. Well I replaced it recently and finally had the time to reinstall combat mission, I missed a patch inbetween and got that too.

Here's my rig first of all:

ASUS P5Q Pro

Quad 2 Core, Q6600

Gainward HD4870 Golden Sample

Mushkin 4GB RAM

I'm running the game at 1680x1050, as it's my desktop resolution, with the texture and model settings at balanced. I can run all other games I've tried maxed out without the slightest problem, including Far Cry 2(which I regret trying, not my kind of fun). But this game gives me overall poor preformance, despite being on medium settings. The larger the scenarios, the chuggier it gets. Now I have some doubts that it's the actual graphic components that are the cause of the poor preformance, but rather CPU and memory mishandling. Does anybody have any data how does this game prefrom with multiple cores?

Also, I have the jagged shadows problem, which I posted in the jagged shadows topic.

Cheers, MehMan

Mehman, welcome to the club!

Have a look at this thread.

It's being worked on, but there's not yet a fix.

Ah, so it's related, I thought that problem was somehow related to nvidia. Well, thanks for the tip!

It seems it was just a coincidence that almost everybody that made the initial reports were nVidia users. I'll post more information in the other thread (linked to above) and will lock this one up.
