Don't even considering purchasing this game unless you have an incredible rig, and read through this forum before you consider it even if you think you have a great pc.

I have an 8800GT, 4gigs of ram, and I'm running at about 15 fps, which is unplayable for me in a pvp situation... Guess I'm going to wait for WAR, or a few months for them to get this in a semi legitmate state.

Then the problem is on your end, I have a Core2 duo 1.86 (processor in minimum specs) 8800gt 512, 4 gigs of ram and I run at 50 to 100 fps. Don't go spouting BS until you troubleshoot your pc. You have to have a bottleneck somewhere in you system that is causing the fps drop.
problem is down your end,
people with the same rig get 30-50fps
There could be a plethora of reason why his system is not giving him higher fps.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME UNLESS... you have a realistic view on what to expect from the game.
as stated before, what kinda of power supply (wattage, amps, and brand) and processor do you have?
There could be a plethora of reason why his system is not giving him higher fps.
yes it could be a bad case of bottle neck. for some odd reason i saw that hr wrote what processor he had.
LOL. Bad news for you mate. If you can't run AOC on that kind of hardware, then you can forget WAR.
People have an illusion that WARs graphics engine is super tiny. It's not.
I've seen people play AOC on shitty laptops with 20-25 fps. Try avoid buying a computer
at a gasoline station next time.
on a 6mb cable broadband connection,
-amd x2 6400 3.2 ghz dual core cpu
-dual 8800gt 512 mb in sli mode
-650 watt power supply
-3 gb 800 mhz 6400 ddr2 ram
-windows xp home srvc pack 3
I'm getting 30 to slightly over 100 FPS at times with high settings to give you an idea/example.
1280 x 720 res due to my screen size 37 inch.
without shutting off firewall/antivirus/or any processes.
At $1,300 for the rig i'm very happy ...got mine from newegg.
I'm getting a consistent 15-20 FPS with this machine on HIGH settings:
Sempron 3100+
GeForce 6600
2GB RAM (PC2700)
It was pointed out in the forums that there's a bug somewhere in the LOW settings that causes the game to run poorly. The recommendation is to set the default to HIGH settings, and then adjust the sliders from there. This has been the case for me. I was getting about 6FPS until I bumped it up to HIGH settings.
figured the post would say unless you want to throw 50 dollars down the drain.
I have 8800GT a crappy processor and 2 gigs of ram and I run with 30fps avg. with 4xAA on HIGH settings.
obviously somethin OS related is wrong with your rig. reformat, get latest drivers.
same card + ram an i get 45 fps on medium settings
Running here with:
8800GTX 512M card, Core 2 Duo 2.4 and 2GB ram, 72GB Raptor, no overclocking and runs sweet with some settings on high.
I get 35 to 100+ fps
No issues so far with game performance.
there is also the option of upgrading your current computer with a higher graphics card and more ram. Its cheaper then buying a new computer. I put a 8800 card and 2 more gigs ram in my computer and it runs fine for me.
