Hello,

I know there is a problem with my video card related to the performance of this game. It's frustrating waiting for this game to come out, only to play it at a somewhat delayed speed. I know that if I bring the Resolution down it helps. Currently have 22" monitor. widescreen type, setting on the Monitor is 1680x1050, same with the game. I can play, it just gets a little annoying sometimes

I just installed a new card about 6 months ago, are there any updates I can get. I've searched and can't find any.....plus is there such a thing, or am I out of luck and I need to get a better one ?

Here is my info : Nividia GeForce 8500GT

32bit OS
64 x 2 Dual Core Proc

any input is appreciated

Your video card is not for gaming, that type of video card is for multimedia and not gaming.

As wedgie said the card is not best for gaming, it's the budget end of the 8 series.

The only thing you can do without changing the card is make sure you have the latest graghics driver.

You can also try to cut down on background aplications might give you some help.

I ran the system test to see if my pc would handle the game and it's saying that the video card is ok, but it's actually my

You have a dual core 2.31?
That should be over the minimum requirments?

I'd double check your background programs and processes and make sure your spyware free.

You are pushing it a bit by running the game at 1650 X 1050 though, mabee try a lower res.
