Awful FPS lag

[Skullheadhq]

Hello, recently I bought a new computer, and I can run every new game fine (I'm btw using W7) such as Modern Warfare 2, Third Age:TW (1900x1200) with no problems at all. But when I play EB I seem to have an fps of a mere 5, which makes it more of a slideshow then a game. Btw my old computer with much worse specs could do this without a problem, and that was Vista!


My specs are:
AMD Athlon II X4 620 processor (overclocked to 3ghz)
2GB RAM
32 BIT W7
NVIDIA Geforce GTS 250 with the latest drivers.

My old specs where:
AMD Quad at 1800ghz
Nvidia 8400

This comes with Win7, same problem here.
Running it in compatibility mode (XP SP 3) and disabling all graphic enhancements makes it somewhat better. I'm actually searching for a solution by now, so saying you are not alone is the only thing I can do right know. If I figure something out (or anyone else too) post it so we can enjoy EB and Win7!

So, what to do in the meantime

Dual Bot XP like all us haxors do.

Damn it, the Windows XP setup is ''not compitable' with Windows 7, so bootdisc it is.
So far my crusade to play EB, I'll continue updates :(

EDIT: Can't get shit to work, are the Windows 7 Home Premiun users doomed? It's a hell to play a game with 7fps.

It suggests a severe regression in the driver stack, or compatibility issues in general *. Which is not all that uncommon with Nvidia ... those drivers are in one word: crap.

So if you feel up to it you can do the driver dance and use older drivers (anything compatible with Vista [or: Windows Driver Model 1.0] should do), or you can try latest and ‘so-called greatest’ from the manufacturer. YMMV.

* Note that RTW works better with (modern) ATI cards than with Nvidia, e.g.: the snow-in-Arabia/sprite-issues are (almost?) exclusively an Nvidia problem.
