mcduck88 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 :censored2: Age of Empires III is now working with poor performance: I've to disable all Shader settings in Graphic Options. All other graphic settings are enabled. I've now Textures, Shadows and the game looks playable to me. But I can't start other games.

wow Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) install a full 1048 instead of all those mixed and incompaible components!! 1047 to 1048 gave me 40 to 100% increase Edited January 6, 2007 by wow Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37760-poor-graphic-performance-no-game-useable/#findComment-269355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
capran Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'm having performance issues too. I finally installed UT2004 3369.2 (after a huge debacle...but that's another story) only to find out it's not playable. There's a lag problem when playing, so for instance moving and looking around feels like you're drunk! Frame rate is OK, not great but acceptable, so I have no idea what the problem is.

capran Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Capran do you have a big samsung lcd? Some of those screens suffer from input lag. Do you vae it in pc mode too? No, I have a Dell 2005FPW. Not sure why the LCD would have any affect to input. My mouse and keyboard are plugged into a hub via my KVM switch. And no, I have no performance issues under Windows.
