in Icewind Dale 2 config, I've got all sliders turned all the way up which is only recommanded for PC's running processors 1.0 ghz or better. resolution is set to 800x600.
my pc specs are the following:
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (~2.08ghz)
1 GB Ram
nvidia 6800gt video card w/ 256MB
clearly this computer is more than capable of running IWD2, BUT...!
when there are 3 or more bad guys on the screen with spell effects going on the game is very sluggish. actually, the game slows down more when there are spell effects occuring on the screen than when there are just bad guys. this seems ridiculous that the game slows down like this when clearly my is more than capable.
durning the startup sequence of IWD2, i noticed that the nvidia logo pops up so I am guessing that nvidia based video cards are doing some sort of acceleration in the game but what parts?
anyhow, does anyone have and tips, advice, or suggestions? thank you.
