Nvidia Settings Question
   

are there any special settings i have to make in order for the game to fully use my hardware's capabilities? i have a g4 FX5600 and still at some points the game stutters. especially when i use the wave of death rune, or when i put on the divine aura of innos amulett, or the eye of innos. could it be something about the radical fog setting in the game?

any advice appreciated.

The graphics card shouldnīt be the bottleneck. Gothic 2 is CPU limited.
If you think the radial fog causes trouble then disable it and try again.

thanks for the advice
but what does CPU limited mean? does it need a really high processor or something?

CPU limited means that a faster CPU will give you more performance. Many games are limited by the graphics card. Then a faster CPU wonīt make a difference while a faster graphics card will give you a boost.
Thatīs why itīs important to find out where the bottleneck is in your system. Exchanging the wrong component will probably only cost you money without improving your situation.
G2 needs:
512 MB RAM (or more), the faster the better
a decent graphics card
the fastest CPU you can afford. 2 GHz are okay but not enough for high frame rates in town.
