Title: My Computer Is old But is higher then the min req but still......?
Post by: NitroD on January 24, 2013, 06:56:22 pm: Ok My Computer is a
Pentium 4 @ 2.0Ghz
Ram DDR1 1GB and 512mb Total 1.5GB
Video MSI Nivdia FX5200 Drivers are the latest made for it.
Creative sound card 5.1
48gb HD 3gbs free (Yeah thats low but i cant fined my XP cds to format and reinstall)

So the problem is The GTASA and SAMP Lags and often my PC Crashes even the BLUE SOD Does not stay up for more then a mili sec and it starts to restart, other games Like COD 1+2 Run ok but also crash to the desktop and some full crashes, and ArmA Starts but runs at like 8fps and the mouse stuters/Jumps around ( Ihave it on my external HD and even if its on the Main HD still Does the same), So any Sugestions (No I cant get a new PC i am looking for a new gfx card But i cant afored the only one i found0 ( I cant buy online) :skull:

Since you put it like that, no suggestions.

Anyways, there is no fix for your problem without updating your hardware, sorry. :/

Post by: Jellyfish on January 25, 2013, 06:22:37 pm: Update your drivers and set the GTA settings to low (frame limiter/anti-aliasing off). That might slightly help the lag. Check the graphics settings and disable pre-set anti-aliasing (just set it to application controlled) since the FX 5200 is usually pre-configured with them.
