Anyone play G2 at 300% visuals and have it run well in town?
   

I have a p4 1.7 now with a geforce 4 ti4600 with 512mb RDRAM and it runs like crap in town at 300% distance and draw and I keep reading that it is nearly impossible to have it run at 30-40fps in town at 300% view range. I just bought (and am awaiting delivery) of a new p4 3.2 with 1 gig of pc 3200 ddr ram and I'm wondering if anyone has a 3 gig processor or higher and have any luck running at full everything with 30-40fps in town? If not then the rumors of g2 impossible frame rates must be true. Thanks.

BTW... I'm talking about 1600x1200 will all details maxed.

It is possible, but you need at least 1024 mb ram, a 128mb graphics card, and a P4 2GHz(or similar/better). At least, I think this should do the trick, the ram is the key.

I have a P4 2.66, 1024Mb PC2700 DDR and an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro; Khorinis runs fine for me. I'm not getting shooter-like 100+ FPS (probably around 30-40 in the city, I would guess) but that's smooth enough for me.

Well that is good to hear, with all terrible news coming out of this and other forums I thought that all of us were doomed to playing with crappy fps. I'm sure that PB could have done a bit better job of programing to get more fps but I guess this will do.

I got a P4 2.6 OCed to 3Ghz, a gf4Ti4400 OCed the memory speeds on that as well and 512MB 400DDR RAM, runs fine with 300% in the towns.

When in town hit the F1-4 keys to turn down your view distance/fog effect. This saved me much frustration.

You can't compare the FPS you get in a game like this, to some cheesy shooter with NO gameworld mechanics or a map thats only 0.5% the size of the G2 map... like Star Trek Elite Farce 2 or something, heh.

I have a 3000+ XP on a Nforce2 mobo, with 1024meg PC3700, with a GeForceFX 5900 Ultra (256meg ddr) and it runs perfect. I haven't found any places where it lags at all. I may not be 100FPS, but you can't tell its "lagging" at all. I'm guessing at the lowest 30, but probably between 30-50 at the worst. Is there a way to show frames?

Press "B" (for character stats screen) just type "frate", press B again to close the character screen... and you get fps readout
