Hi All,

my new gaming pc is a i5 2320 with 8 gb of ram and a nvdia 550 ti video card
what settings should i use in rw3 what kind of frame rate should i see ?
Thanks Beau

It's gonna be hit and miss. Seems like everyone uses different settings. On the launch screen, I just check mark "High", then once I launch the game, go to Settings and also just checkmark "High" Seems to work pretty good.

My specs:
Phenom II 970 stock speed
8Gb DDR3 1866 RAM
EVGA GTX470 SC
2X 500Gb drives in RAID 0
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

There are a lot of routes you will just not get more than 10 or 20 frames out of. It's the graphics core, RSC is working on it. They'll get it fixed.

I found this tutorial very helpful in dialing in RW for my system:

The biggest hit on performance is Shadow Quality. And it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference on my machine between low and high. Just a LOT of difference between on and off. I keep Passenger Density on the lower side (who needs bunches of the same people!?!). Scenery Detail must be kept at 10 to see all the assets on many routes. Object texture may need to be lowered on Woodhead, since there are a LOT of particles coming out of those smokestacks (but I run it fine at my normal Highest setting). I don't run Bloom or Depth of Field, so I don't know what the hit is for those.
