So, thinking about coming back

[dirtdart]

Just bought a laptop...first computer in nearly 6-7 years. Has a 4GB graphics card, wondering if it will run the game. And...wondering if I have the time to get back into this addiction...lol.

Bought it for making 3D autocad for producing rc models.

If zack1234 is still playing, I may wait longer.

kisses zack!

Jump in, the water's fine. AH3 is more GPU dependent than previous versions though a 4 GB card should be sufficient.

Once the game is downloaded, you have the option of running a DirectX 9 or 11 version of the game. The latter is more user friendly for older vid cards.

How exactly do you get the dx11 version? I seem to only have the DX9 version with an older video card. I'd like to get the Dx11 if it will improve my performance.

The game defaults to DX9 because some people have mini stutters with DX11. If you'd like to try it, goto C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III double click the  AcesHigh11.exe file to start in DX11 (you can right click and create a desktop icon for it to save you the trouble later)

I tried it and I feel like it ran worse with DX11. Quite a few stutters/pauses.

Snailman my old friend
It's good to see your stats again
Odds Zack will be gone?

[Canspec]

Dirt is awesome........almost as awesome as Zack....

[atlau]

Dx11 still stutters for me too. Recommend 9

I run AH around 160 fps while streaming on my 3GB 1060 nvidia card. Only after playing a full day it will reach the 800mb mark

It is more interesting to know which exact graphic card you have and the rest of your system. Playing offline is free and you can get a feeling of how the game runs first, before paying.

Oh and welcome back!

NVDIA GTX 1050. I tried running the offline practice, best I could do was 40 or so FPS with most everything turned off. I will need some help to get this thing to 60.

I57300 2.5ghz
12GB system memory

Less then my last gaming computer by far. Did not know the newer version was so demanding.

That doesn't sound right, I got an ancient I3-2120 and a GTX 950 and get stable 60 in game with shadows and some post processing turned off. 

[dirtdart]

Yep, does not sound right to me either. I am sure there is somethj my in a setting somewhere. Runs fusion 360 like a champ though. Just finished the cowling for a Hughes H1.

Did you pick up on my haiku....thought it better then a limrick for you.
