Hi guys,
This is a thread to explain your rig on playing SC2 and the outcome of the graphics performance so that people who haven't bought the game could expect what performance on what type of rig and also the current players can make a comparison on their rigs.

Mine is
C2D 3.7Ghz
2 Gig RAM
9800GTX
Using XP SP2

Can set all to ultra settings. AA must change at NVIDIA control panel for better graphics. For campaign, at times there will be a lil bit lag when got many units and in-game cut-scenes but so far, not a problem with that.

Loading time for campaign is normal, but maybe can improve if I have 4 Gig RAM.

You should change your OS to 64 bit and utilize the 6GB RAM. Surely it will increase the game's performance..

from my understanding, Vsync will match your framerate to your monitor's maximum refresh rate.

Hi,

i've been thinking to buy a graphic card to play SC2 (At least smooth at high setting)
It's just temporary 'cause i might upgrade the graphic card to a better one while crysis 2 release next year.
My budget is around RM250 to 350.
Any graphic cards to recommend? (I am thinking of buying used cards actually)
is 4850 a good choice?

Thanks.
*
If used card..
GTS250 would be just nice..
u can get around RM300 i think.. (2nd hand of course)

I have been booted out of the game for a gazillion time. Think its da issue with the gfx overheating but its still the same after i apply the fps fix.
