David Johnston Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi, I have an Intel P4 3GHz with HT processor and a Radeon X300 128MB graphics card. When I watch the games in 3D it can be very jumpy. It runs quite slow then all of a sudden there is a burst of speed and it is quite annoying. Does anyone know if upgrading the graphics card would be sufficient for improving this, or would I need a better CPU first? My CPU only seems to run at about 55% during the match, which makes me think a better graphics card would be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_A Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Three main things: Better graphics card, better cpu, and more ram. I would recommend 2gb ram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Johnston Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have 2GB of RAM. And I know improving both CPU and graphics would help. But my question was will improving just the graphics card help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhand Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It's quite ironic that such a crappy 3D-feature requires relatively high specs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's jumpy, see this thread: Defragmentation 101 (Even more important now we've gone 3D) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Internomad Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 In Preferences set the 3D Mode to Medium, worked for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good. Well, yeah, it would help but I would also upgrade your CPU to give you more scope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
