City Lag Tip

This seems to help in some way, I've lowered my view distance to 40% in the menu and I get a constant 20 fps in the city with it. When going out I just use the F1-F4 keys to raise the view and when I return to the city I just press ESC twice and its back to 40%. Think of it as a custom shortcut to a desired view distance.

Unfortunately I'm still on a gf2 gts

- But 20 fps on such an old card, even with 40% view distance, is quite impressive I think. But personally it feels more like CPU lag then video lag to me. I only have a dual 933mhz and anything over 80% will result in 7-10 fps for me in the city.

Ok time to upgrade...or wait for doom 3 before I spend money...arg!

It is CPU and memory lag. The GTS is fast enough. Gothic 2 is a DirectX 7 game.

Yeah it certainly seems like it stresses CPU and RAM more than video card. My orig Geforce is half the speed of a GF2 GTS, acccording to benchmarks, but I have still never gotten below 10fps in the city. Mind you, there are some cases where I can get 11-12fps but thats what having an extremely low view distance is for.
