my game is nfs underground 1
i searched the req is p3 700mhz, p4 for better.. ram 256mb needed...gpu 32mb, 64mb better
my specs:
P4 1.8 ghz
ram 768mb
64mb integrated
it lags even at low to medium graphics settings
note: windows xp 32-bit, updated graphics and etc, direct x9 updated
The recommended system specs are just a guideline unfortunately, if I had a dollar every time my specs exceeded requirements to play a game and it was laggy, I'd be a millionaire.
i also tried this on a dual core cpu @ 3.0ghz, fx5500 128mb gpu, ddr2 512mb ram
at max graphics it runs about 10-20 fps
is that still low
The bottleneck probably is your graphics chip. The game needs 64mb VRAM, but that only goes for dedicated graphics cards and not integrated ones. Integrated chips are far less powerful.
It could just be how old the game is, some old games have a bad rep. for being horribly integrated over to PC's. But it also might be due to the fact that you only have the required system specs, rather than the recommended system specs.
And to answer the other question, 10-20fps is still low.
