|GG|Carl Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 JA works fine with 32mb graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I have a 128mb:D It plays fine. Don't condem(sp?) the game before you can play it actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 That's a load of crap, who told you that?? It runs on any OpenGL 1.3 complaint video card. The amount of RAM, its speed, GPU speed and other factors determine the performance, but that doesn't mean you can't run it, it just won't look incredible.

Prime Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Actually, for a new game, JA has lower requirements than a lot of games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 My spec was mid-high range a YEAR ago, when Outcast was released, and Academy works fine on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master William Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I got 64 MB video card and the game runs like paradise. I don't see any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterSkyline Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Works just fine with a 64mb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSauce Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 yea, whoever told you that lied......try doing some research next time. As I recall, the box says 32mb is minimum required card. Anyhow, i'm playing academy on the same vid card that I played outcast on. Granted I can't max out settings (GeForce3), but the game still looks great. oh, and BTW, GRAMMAR!!!!!! I could barely read your post. Try complete sentinces and correct spelling.....very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 So the game itself isn't bad, just your performance. Try the following: -Turn of Dynamic Glow -Turn of Force Feedback -Turn Anistrophic filtering to 0 (all the way to the left) -Turn EAX off -Lower the rest to 1024x768 (if it was higher) or possibly even 800x600 -Lower depth to 16 bit -Binlinear instead of Trilinear -Change detail to Medium That should put your FPS back to the level you'd get with JK2. Also be sure that you run the "system analyzer"program that came with it and run ALL the tests in advanced (directx setup), and make sure you correct any errors. I had to downgrade my nvidia drivers to get decent performance out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
