@PokerC I want to keep bashing, lol, trust me....but I was in a debate with these snarky elitist jerks who were saying that the HD 6800 series GPU's were actually LESS powerful than the HD 4870...something about the last two numbers in the ID 68-00 and 48-70 having some designation. Now they have me scratching my head. I tried to search Tom's Hardware about the issue and I cannot even FIND my card in there...
I know the game is wonky but I am trying to eliminate anything on my end...also trying to help the gajillions of people with the same or similar set ups as mine to find some answers...
@8half...I have a 6 core 3.4 Ghz CPU so I am gtg there. I think Poker was just listing minimum specs. Mine are:
CPU: AMD FX 6100 6 core@ 3.4 Ghz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series ~1 GB
RAM: 8 GB
It isn't the best rig but it's not outdated enough to justify replacement yet. It plays everything else just fine, even on high settings in some cases, though the fps can get a little crappy.
I cannot for the life of me see why I can only play the game on the very lowest settings and then still crash regularly, like every 5 minutes.
