damn I had nothing but trouble until I went to 2d, and turned down the hardware acceleration. slowdown, and crashes galore.
And I have a wicked rig. 700mhz P3 overclocked to 950mhz, 384 mb ram, a 7200 rpm ata hard drive, and an intel 810 chipset motherboard with a Voodoo 4 PCI card. runs sweet as hell now.

Athlon T-bird 800
128m
7200rpm HD
GeForce2 ddr 32mb 4x agp vid card (this bad boy rocks!)

And with that setup, i still get the occasional slow down!
I'll give 2d a shot and see about quality.

I switched to 2D after my last post on this thread (Ages ago). Game performance is up about 50%. Also, originally when I started playing the movies would stutter, I figured it was just a player problem. With 3D off they run perfectly.

Why the hell are everyone "unregistered"??
Why don't you register?
You get more advantages (like a sig) and it's much more fun!

I saw the movie, but I didn't think the action scenes were THAT good.

...Because the forum didn't exist in this format when they posted that? Just look at the date, mr. Caine has been doing some serious digging...

look, in my professional(ish) opinion the 3d effects in infinity are poorly implemented - in fact the more i see of infinity the more i find its just not very well put together - and it gets worse with the later games. i suppose its not biowares fault - it is a big complex engine and RPG players tend to care more about plot and stuff than bug fixes.

i tend to find its total the number of effects on screen that counts, rather than complexity. so two magic missiles is ten effects, with transparency. unless you have a 3d card way in advance of the recommended specs (i dont) your gonna get lag.

when i get a geforce 3 GTS ill let u know...

On the subject of Computers. I am running a (lol) Pentium I 166mHz with 32 megs of ram and about 2 gig hard drive. No hardware accelerator or anything. I managed to get Shadows of Amn to work quite well. I didn't have to cut any sound or anything. I have to play on 640-480 res in 2d but it all works!! My friend has a monster of a computer (compared to mine) over 500mHz and such but his doesn't run the game much better!?

I played Shadows of Amn on another powerful computer about 1ghz and fully loaded. Only then did the game run basically without a hitch, even in 2d.
