PK graphics?

[CannibleCorpse]

HI all I am new to the forums here and also new to PK. I bought the game a few days ago and have just a few questions, maybe they are not even PROBLEMS. I am not a gamer to the true sence as the only games I play are PK, UT99 and UT2K4. I know the engine is different fron the unreal engine, and I like it ALOT! But sometimes it seems as though the game runs in slowmotion, like the game speed adjusts itself, but I have noticed this is usually after taking a bit of damage. And when turning right or left it swings very slow. I know this may be dumb sounding, but sometimes it is so slow after about 10 minutes of playing I become very sick and want to throw up. I know your laughing your butt's off, but am I the only one with this problem? I never noticed the SLOW mO part on the demo though and I played the heck out of the demo. I have all the patches and had no errors with installing them, and usually have a strong stomach. OK now I am laughing. But anyways, nice game but I can't play it worth a crap on Multiplayer, and I can't find any servers with ppl on them. Owell, I hope I didn't pass up Halo2 for a game that makes me wanna barf. (Phsically) I love PK! System Specs are below.

More stuff not worth mentioning LOL

Thanx all!

Hi

Have you tried lowering the video settings in Options. maybe turn down/off a few things. The commonest one for folks here seems to be that turning of Coronas and Bloom helps a lot.Otherwise maybe try turning off anisotropic and/or multisampling??

...to be inefficient in their memory bandwidth, meaning they have higher clock speeds than their flow rate can keep up with. Because of this, OCing them doesn't tend to help much, just makes them run hotter.

I had an old Ti 4200 64 MB card before the FX series were even made. I used it for over two years and read many reviews of it being able to benchmark about the same as the 5700s due to it's high bandwidth. Clock speed certainly isn't everything in video cards, mine even beat it's big brother which was the Ti 4200 128MB, due to bandwidth differences.

Some of what Nvidia has done as far as balancing the specs on some of their cards has not made much sense.
