titoedu Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I'm currently using Intel core 2 duo 1.86ghz, GeForce 7300 gs, 1 g RAM. But the material detection of GR2 says that i didn't cope up with the minimum requirements. I only have 1866 MHZ in my pc and the minimum is 2000. what is the best thing to do? I only started playing the game, I'm currently on act 2, then the game crashes. everytime! please help me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titoedu Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) I have a desktop pc, Intel core 2 duo 1.86 ghz, 1 g RAM, GeForce 7300 GS. The game always crashes. I run the game at the low profile, 800 x 600, all settings in low! Still the game won't reach the level of speed I wish to have. what should I do? I already Installed NVIDIA's latest forceware because some people say that it'll help. But what would be the best thing to do? The material detection of GRAW2 says that my cpu's frequency is 1866, the recommended mhz is 2000, pentium 3 or higher. How is that possible? PLEASE HELP ME. [second Thread Merged with your original one, Please try to stick to one thread per issue] Edited February 16, 2008 by Pave Low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoQuarter Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I'll take a stab and say that your CPU is not the cause of the crash, but rather it stems from the combination of your GPU and 1GB system RAM. The 7300GS is an entry model card which utilizes TurboCache, which draws 50% of its listed memory from the system, and that will cause bottlenecks with graphics-intensive programs, regardless of OS. You might be able to advance in the campaign by resetting some or all of your ingame graphics options lower/mimimum, create a more forgiving profile for the game with the NVIDIA Control Panel, or digging up some information on nHancer http://www.nhancer.com/, a standalone utility which provides more tweaking options than the NCP, and that apparently has helped others in a similar situation.

doubletap Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) What screen resolution are you using? Might want to try a bit lower if it's pretty high, to use less memory. And the first thing I would do to troubleshoot constant crashing is set frame prerendering to "1". It's probably at 3 by default. Some info on that in this post Note, in that post I said prerender "0", but "1" works fine. You have plenty of cpu, I believe the 1.86 core 2 is the e6300, that's a decent cpu. I don't know for sure but the 2.0 minimum probably doesn't take into acount the processing power that core 2 has over single core. Your 1.86 blows away even a 3.X Pentium 4. Much better architecture.

Rocky Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hi At first look, I'd say your graphics card is holding you back a little, and you might want to think about doubling your RAM, 1 Gb is not really enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubletap Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Your core2 cpu is fast enough. I agree with Rocky, the vid card is a performance bottleneck, but sluggish performance could also be caused by running the game while other programs are running or loaded. The 7 series vid card is a candidate for having that particular issue. Edited February 17, 2008 by doubletap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgunz2007 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) I would try nhancer, and set prerender to 1. that solved my problem. Doubletap was right on the money with that fix. I am using 1 gig ram with a 7600gs card and the game was always crashing, try Nhancer it works.

Joriko Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 That's weird. I have a GeForce 7600 GS and it never crashed on me, all versions. It isn't turbocache though, and I have two gigs of ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
