I don't think it humors anyone that you have that PC. I think it humors them that you think you can play a game way above its paygrade, even consoles play at a higher rate than you do.
don't bring consoles into this... just don't. We all know that consoles have severe memory problems, but this forces developers to get "Clever" in order to get games to run well and look good. And I do say clever sarcastically.

Think? No sir, I do. I know what to expect and am 100% satisfied with how NS2 plays. Forgive me for not updating my system each year. It plays everything I have well enough for me. Updating to a new one because I want to play some new games that are too much for it.
I have to say, I read this thread a few days ago, and while playing decided why the hell not.
Used to have frames of 18-23 just looking at a room and single digits - 12 in combat. Switching resolution to the third lowest (so I can buy weapons) gave me a huge increase in frames. I'm getting 27-37 non combat (60s in RR) and most importantly, probably around 20 in combat, dipping a little lower than that when I'm spinning around with a skulk at my feet.
Still a long ways to go, but this has definitely made it a little more fun for me to play as I can actually sort of help my team now (before, I always made sure to run in first as a sacrificial lamb, as I couldn't do much more that that) haha.
Only think now, on such a low resolution, hints and server advertisements block my reticle whenever they display. Anyone know, if there is a way, how to turn hints off?
