pthagonal Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I was wondering if anyone is running this game using a Matrox G450(with 32mb ddr ram)? It is listed as a compatible card, but Im a little leary since it is a business card primarily. I dont play many games, just use my computer for Autocad and the such, but this game really looks cool. Do you think i will be able to run it all right? ie. at least 30fps in 800x600 preferably in 1024x768. The rest of my computer is more than capable. (1.3Ghz athlon, 512Mb ddr ram), but my graphics card has me worried since i never have run any kind of 3d heavy game and dont really know anything about them. So is anyone running the game with this card? Sorry if this has been asked before, but the search function is disabled Thanks for any help.

Chiles4 Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I don't use that card so I'm just guessing here. Coupled with your cpu and memory I'd say you should probably be able to run it at 800x600. Maybe 1024 depending on the level of detail you choose. It's a great 2D card but from what I remember it was pretty weak in gaming. I have no idea how good the OpenGL support is on the Matrox card.

pthagonal Posted April 25, 2002 Author Share Posted April 25, 2002 Well, thats good to hear. I dont really care about playing with all the textures on or anything. But no one is using this card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killjoy437 Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Yes I am, and if you have WinXP you have to disable the opengl extensions even for it to run. Matrox is working on a new driver to fix the issues. Apparently dozens of OpenGL games are crashing and locking up in XP with the 5.82 drivers. So they are trying hard to get it fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pthagonal Posted April 26, 2002 Author Share Posted April 26, 2002 Im running Win2k. I'll probably be getting the game this weekend, so we'll see how things go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSMORIN Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I use the G450 and it works fine ast 800x600. However... I can't get past the hideout level because of a stupid error that I can't get an answer on. I have emailed lucasarts and posted it here. No response. Unfortunately, I will have to return the damn game since I can no longer play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie77 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Im using the old G400 and i can get 50 fps in 1024x768, medium texture detail and high geometric detail (god knows how ) so i think you'll be ok, also im running GL extensions, which a few people have said are supposed to be dodgy with matrox cards but ive found if i turn them off then my framerate is halved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
