Hello!
I wanted to ask a simple question: how can I set the optimum settings?
Unfortunately, this option can not selezionarla.i have a video card nVidia GeForce 6200 512 MB.
There are specific methods to select this or my video card is bad?

Forgive me for English, are Italian.

i had a gforce 6600 GT (better then yours) and it was terrible sometimes.
maybe you need more RAM too. i had 1GB in my old pc and that was full very fast. get at least 2GB or better 4GB RAM.

I have 2GB of ram on the PC.
It seems strange this thing too because my friends have PCs with less RAM and video card and lower the Optimum Settings option is enabled.
No one knows why? Should I set something in the video card driver?

I had this video card, it runs requiem extremely badly.

Also, changing the settings in Requiem does pretty much nothing for some reason.

yes, I would say bare minimum for this game was and still is a 7600GT or better from Nvidia or an x800xt or higher from ATi. But that was like four years ago. Both companies have made much stronger cards in the last few years, but sometimes the higher numbered cards actually perform worse. Buy something like a 460gtx or a 5850 or 6850. It will set you back about $130US if you shop around online probably. Amusingly enough the best thing you can do in system settings to make the game run smoother is actually to turn off Sound entirely.

Just pick whatever, the only setting that will have any effect is Resolution.

this, Cleffy, is an actual picture of his actual video card.Posted Image
Turning off sounds, playing at lowest resolution, windowed mode, and setting long distance and effects draw distances to minimum, shadows off, lowest AA possible, might help.

Actually changing resolution does nothing for me.

Thats nice, but I am pretty convinced those won't make a difference. When you are talking about rendering just the environment effects, the 6600 should be sufficient with all settings maxed. What makes the difference is character rendering and animation in mmos. This consumes memory and has the highest portion of GPU resources dedicated to it. I am pretty certain even the shortest view range will load data at the same time into memory, just not show it in rendering. Shadows could be a pain. That X1-x8 modifier actually blurs the shadow map which takes up alot of GPU memory if its not on simplified shadows. BTW the 6200 does not meet the minimum requirements to play the game. SM 2.0, Geforce FX 5600.

Resolution should always do something if the bottleneck is GPU based. The GPU renders per pixel. So obviously if you are at 800x600 you will be rendering less pixels then at 1920x1080.

The thing that will have a huge impact is to go into nVidia Control Panel and Force VSync off. VSync is on by default in this game with no way to turn it off as its embedded into Gravity's proprietary compression format. VSync will consume 3 times the resources as normal.

This is a great piece of advice. I had some horrible framerates on my previous PC and i turned this setting off in NVIDIA controll panel. Made a world of difference. U can also force some other settings in NVIDIA controll panel that could help. Play around with it a bit and see what gets u the best performance.

Yes, I just brought this back to life.

You shouldn't need to do this. Vsync should ALWAYS be an option to turn off via the game.
