SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS

[DBGT]

My PC:

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU: Core 2 Quad 4MB @ 2.66 GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR2
Graphic: ATI 5850 HD 1GB


the game is slow, fps do no exceed 23,
im not sure if the problem from my config or from (iso game) it self

any suggestions?

[jesalvein]

that's a very demanding game, and 2.66Ghz won't be enough.
try some speedhacks, especially VU cycle stealing (works very well with that game).

[DBGT]

how much is enough?
would i7 satisfy this game?

[jesalvein]

something like a dual core @4.5ghz to run flawlessly

In other words overclock that quad if your motherboard allows.

Also experiment with speedhacks, I use cycle rate 2 and vu steals 1, seems to work pretty well but at 3.4Ghz it's not perfect.

I could run the PAL version flawlessly with 3x native resolution so you don't need a CPU this strong, but you 're right in that 2.66Ghz is probably not enough and 2x (moderate) VU cycle stealing is the way to go.

higher res require better GPU not CPU
