Ryzom makes me wanna upgrade my PC

[vaynen]

Yeah, in the movie "As Good As It Gets" Jack Nickelson has to give a complement to a woman in a restaurant, he says to her "you make me want to be a better person". Well, Ryzom makes we want to have a better PC =) hehe .... serious though, right now the game just about runs at "default" settings, but some people get to enjoy Ryzom at it's best and I'd love to be one of them. Maybe the people who run Ryzom at max can give a little advice on what to buy or tell their specs? I'd love to have a little shopping list in mind while I try to set some money aside =)

PS: Ryzom makes me want to stay up late aswell......how very silly of me..

What he said
But a GeForce FX 5900, all settings maxed. It is the most beautiful looking game ever made (IMO), the environment, the mobs (the shiney shells on them), the animations....The only complaint is the people are too nice though

I must be blind really,

I ran everything maxed out for ages, then due to the game crashing sometimes e.g casting animations and large expanses of water, I turned the settings down to medium and hardly noticed the difference.

maybe I aint paying attention and am too busy playing

I am running @ max with

P4 3.6
1 GB
ATI X700

I'm enjoying the game more now because it looks so much better now (got a new 19'' as well)

Im running at max with all but far clip with:

1800GHz
512SD
GF128Mb

Granted my loading screens are v slow atm but other than that Im normally ok

1024x768 full screen, all maxed:

AMD64 +3400
1Gb of cheap RAM
GeForce FX5600
700k cable

Previously I had the same spec but with an AMD +1700, still with everything maxed but lower max clip distance. As far as my own experience goes, the thing that having a higher spec did for me was allowed me to set the max clip distance to max which has really helped as you can see mobs etc from over 200m away, big help when trying to get to difficult places.

max clip distance to max which has really helped as you can see mobs etc from over 200m away, big help when trying to get to difficult places.

We have two machines running at home. One has max clip distance on max and the other is currently set at default.


Its quite disturbing the difference between the two setting.

When we are both stood in the same place, The machine set on max will SEE the Kinchers, the other may only see 1 of the group!

So a less here is, when travelling MAX you clip distance. However I am sure this is one of the reason I crash regularly in FairHaven, huge pop of unhidden entities. Pyr on the other hand is great for movement, even though its population is greater!

I have a AMD 1,4 Ghz with 512 MB RAM (2x256) with a Radeon 9600 PRO..
But it is a Madview Radeon 9600 PRO 256MB...and it turns out there's nothnig PRO about the card, I've seen 128 MB cards with faster memory...
All on a ASUS A7V 266 mainboard....as I said...it just about runs at default settings at lowest resolution.. What brand/specs is your Radeon 9600?
(This may mean I only have to upgrade my CPU+RAM+MB =) )
