RB6 VEGAS CPU Intensive

I think the main issue is the port from Xbox360 to PC, it's terrible.

Well that and lately all ubisoft's games have been very bad on the PC side. Look at double agent, preformace is a joke. Same for the new Vegas game. Even on the 360 Vegas chugs once in a while, but damn it look sweet on the 360.

Its considered the most stressful game to date. Ive seen the reviews so far and it even brings Sli GTX8800 to its knees.

Ubisoft say that a 7300 series card meets min requirements....
It doesn't.....Its unplayable IMO,my GPU is G72 based as well,it looks like shit at 640x480 with everything on low or off chugging along at 20fps,you can edit the game engine config and keller engine config to try and get more fps but it just makes the game look even more crappy than it does already.If you forget about FPS and turn res and effects up just to see what it looks like,it still looks like a 5 year old game,no textures,its all about lighting effects this game,at the expense of everything else.
I saw a couple of fraps screenshots of a desktop 6800 playing at 1200 x something [cant remember]with everything turned off or at minimum and that was crawling along at 6fps in a corridor with nothing happening.

This game is the height of lazyness and poor coding on the developers part,GRAW was pretty bad as well,but R6V is in entirely another league.
I shudder to think of the cost of a system that could play this game maxed out.

Ubisoft,the people who bought us beautiful looking games like Far Cry are now only interested in console games with a little sideline of extorting money from pc gamers with really crappy ports like this game or GRAW or Splinter Cell DA,I realise that the console and pc versions of GRAW were actually different but from my experience and others as well,it was an extremely poor performing game and must hold some sort of record for bugs [I think I downloaded in the vicinity of 1GB of patches and it still crashed at certain points necessitating restarting the level and taking a different route] thank F**k they didn't get their hands on crysis although EA's influence on crytek remains to be seen.

So,If you don't have dual 8800gtx's and absolutely have to play this game,I would suggest buying the 360 version,as that is obviously what it was designed from the ground up for.

BTW,like most games in the last year,its short.

That may hold some truth, but the fact is that the game was ported over to PC. Consoles are getting a lot more attention than PC games recently, although it uses the new Unreal engine, it still has a lot of kinks that need to be sorted out.

It seemed like an awesome game so I tried getting a copy for PC before purchasing to see how it runs. Unfortunately it didnt run, so I went and bought it for Xbox 360 instead... I dont think at low resolutions it should bring every high end pcs to their knees.

I read over in the ubisoft forums that RB6 Vegas DOESN'T take advantage of dual core systems. I believe that, because I have it, and it runs like sh!t. I have a FX2500M with 2GB RAM and a 1.8GHz Core Duo(upgrading to a 2.0 C2D, will see if that helps). The graphics arent THAT great either. Personally, I think HL2 looks wayy better, and runs amazingly well on my machine

Oddly Graw runs fantastically on my e1705.

Exactly. Ubisoft has gone downhill as of late. In order to save money, theyre just developing games for the xbox 360 and them porting them to the PC. RB6V has absolutley NO optimization for the PC, so it runs like carp. I can't even play SCA because the controls are so messed up. And I havent checked Vegas, but I know for a fact with SCA, they didn't even bother to change the filenames, so there were files on the DVD named "XBoxWindowSettings", etc.

It sucks cuz I used to love ubi. SC:CT ran amazingly well on my D610 laptop, with just an x300 video card. The original Splinter Cell was a great game as well.

Also, I've heard that they cripple nVidia cards(which I have), since apparently they have some sort of deal with ATI.

i've got rainbow six lockdown that i was playing on my 1705, specs in sig, i was only getting on average 25-30 fps, sometimes higher if i looked right at a wall. i have no problems on fear, fear extract point, or hl2 ep1, heck bf2142 even runs smooth. but lockdown just would never really smooth out. i think its just ubi slacking on the pc side.

wth? vegas runs perfectly smooth on the max resolution. GRAW was much more graphically intensive

I've been playing some Vegas on my notebook. For me, at medium quality, 1280x800, it's GPU limited; reducing my overclock from 600/800 to 500/700 took a big performance hit in-game

Actually there was some slow down during big fire fights, it really blows that you cant really adjust certain settings

I have an x800 and a 1.8 Venice @ 2.6 and I can barely run the game at low res... I have it for xbox 360 but wish they did a better job for the pc. I prefer fps on pcs over consoles.
