Default Can reducing display quality improve performance? - 01-15-2003, 04:48 PM

I run a modest system (750mhz, 128 ram, 32mb vid) but I can run MOH pretty well. My question is this: if I reduced the game's graphic quality, is it reasonable to expect my scores to go up since my fps won't drop as far in a crazy firefight?

I just tried this last night, but I wanted to hear what the community thought about this. Thanks.

Yes it should. Reducing the detail and the screen size should help out your fps. Buying a new video card will help too. It sounds like your are around the minimal system requirements for AA.

Yea, I'm near, but I do get amazing graphic quality even still. I'm running an ATI all-in-wonder radeon, so I don't want to give up my TV just yet.

the answer is yes. close all other apps. you might running. direct all your power to the game. your kind of boarder line so any other things you might have running will effect your game quality.

It's a toss up actually. You sacrifice lloks for better FPS rates and game play. I run with a lowly 700mhz and when I was using my 32MB card I had to drop everything to it's lowest settings including the resolution. Once I did that my kills went up and my deaths went down. The two biggest factors in playing are your ping times and your FPS rates. If either of those are bad, it won't matter much what your skill level is.

I would sacrifice sharper gameplay for better FPS, espically in MP games.

Keep open anything that says LOCAL SERVICE, SYSTEM, or NETWORK SERVICE in the User Name row, IEXPLORE.EXE, and explore.exe
