SRO - bad performance need help

Polemique · **Joined:** Sep 2008 **Posts:** 56 **Location:** Germany

Hey Guys out there.

I recently bought a new PC: Quadcore, 6 GB Ram, Vista 64...
Some would ask: "which grafic card?" -> Thats true, I am using an onboard chip

its a 8200 with 64 mb ram, and 256 mb shared DDR2 1066 ram.
So far the chip takes easly HL2 and Team Fortress 2 and Battle for middle earth 2.
But silkroad is as laggy as hell. Dont know why, the chip must be able to display SRO in best options. I dont think its the capacity from the chipset, I think it has to do with drivers.
But I allready checked all. The new Nvidia BETA driver isnt installable - dont know why, DirectX 10.0 is installed. Dont know why, it should work without troubles - may you help me?
kind regards

my onboard video card runs HL2 fine also but it sucks on SRO, the frame rate falls well below 20

Anyone knows how to help?

I had this problem, even tried using maximum onboard graphics through the BIOS it was still a bad frame rate. Only thing you can do is get a card.

Who buys a quad core with 6gb of ram without a video card >_>.

lol my onboard video card runs crysis at about 30 fps with the lowest settings and a low resolution but no matter how low the settings are on silkroad its impossible to play, you will need a video card

Try lowest settings in sro .... if doesn't work get a video card.

lolz @ the quad core w/ no GFX...

are shadows on? theyre the biggest killer in this game...

make sure the resolution is low too...

i have an 8800GTS and i cant do full shadows w/o epic lag (and i play COD4 maxed at 60+FPS)

that's the same thing i was thinking of. why in hell would someone buy i high end system and not get a good video card go return 2 gb of ram and buy a video card..
sro only takes 600-800 mb of ram why would you need 6gb
