no not really its really the video card....

i have fx5600 128mb and i can play on medium settings i think the problem with urz might be because fx5600 256mb is worse than the 128mb version...

Not all 256mbs are worse than 128mbs!!!!!!!

Get it into your heads people. It happens, but not all the time.

I say get alot of ram because I have 512 and the latest FPS games (Battlefield Vietnam, UT2k4) (I don't have Far Cry ) eat the shite out of my ram and my computer is all slow when i exit the games. It takes a few seconds for all of the desktop icons to show up.

Dont run anything in the back ground, it might help.

I have a 5600xt which is shittier then a 5600 and i run it at above 800x600,i get 25 fps.

Get a better video card and more ram, 512 and above.

some recommeded using the standard res (800 x 600) - did turn my up a notch for the game - will it make a diff?

the game wont look as nice though?

thanks for the help guys but recommeding another grahics cards really isnt

i can play the game ok, it just does slow from time to time in dorrs its not like its not playable, i have hope!

KazaaLeecher when u play,
on medium settings at a higher res that 800 x 600,
do u honestly experiance any frame rate issues what so ever?


i know my card is mid range but its a pain in the ass considering Half life 2 and doom 3 may do the same on similar settings

I don't really see the problem, tweak the settings till you get an acceptable frame rate - problem solved.

i have this rig down here, and I run farcry all maxed with the exception of anisotropic and antialiasing POS processor and it never lags (except on MP, which I mentioned elsewhere sucks ass ) Alot of people have problems with far cry and nVidia cards , are you sure your drivers are updated? I remember nVidia releasing something that was going to make pixel shader 2 support on par with the 9800 :hah&#33;:, which would make farcry more stable. Other than that I would say buy a 9800 or an x800xt, eventually you will have to. <--that&#39;s assuming you want to play far cry "the way it&#39;s meant to be played"
