Upgraded Computer, Gothic Is Fast

Old Computer...
700mhz Athlon, 384mb SDR RAM, GF3 ti500
Gothic was just plain slow with all the options turned up at 1024x768x32. With my video card I expected to have no problems, but framerates were choppy.

New Computer...
Athlon XP 1900+ (~1.6ghz), 512mb DDR RAM, Same Videocard
Everywhere there were hiccups and slowdowns it is now super smooth. Better yet, loading and saving are much faster (half or less previous times).

I basically upgraded for this game, as it's the only game I am playing right now that taxed my previous system. It was expensive, but worth it, as Gothic now runs great.

No. If you read the latest shootout at http://www.anandtech.com youŽll see that there is nothing dramatically wrong with buying an affordable board like the Epox 8KHA+, this IWill board or even the very cheap Elitegroup m/b.

I agree, I recently upgraded from an Athlon 650 to a Athlon XP 1600+ (overclocked to 1.6Ghz) and it really smoothed out the game.
I like to play at 1024x768x32 will all options maxed with 2x antialiasing and 32tap anisotropic filtering. I also use the same card as I had before, a GF3. With the 650 it was playable but I would get slowdowns in the camps. Now it's smooth as can be. =)

Ha, I did the exact same thing
Upgraded from a duron 650 to an XP 1600+, and I use a Hercules Geforce3 Ti200.
But I use the XP on my "old" SDR motherboard for now.
Well I'm paying at 1024*768*32 with 2x FSAA as well and I can't complain! runs as smooth as silk.
However, If I turn on the frame counter I only get an average of 25 fps !!!!!!
