Deus Ex: Anybody have it/play it? How does it run on your system?

[RSI]

Hi all...

I'm at my cousin's house right now (cable woohoo!) who has a P3-450 with 192MB and a TNT2. Deus Ex LAGS! I was surprised at how much it lagged at times! Quite a taxing game I guess then eh? I'm waiting for him to quit his game so he can send it over to my comp.. Although it will probably lag horribly on mine (K6-2 @ 400, 96MB PC66@100, Banshee).

We'll see...

Anyway, your thoughts please.

Great Game! It lags on my system with GeForce2 at 10x7

It lags a little on my system but then again I have a TNT2 . I think its a problem with the engine design or something but its one hell of a fun game to play no matter if it lags a little. I mean it doesn't really lag on my system its more it runs slower than it probably should. Oh well.

About 20-35FPS here. Thats on a 866Mhz PIII and a GF2! Thats my slowest system though...

It's playable on mine at full detail, etc. It's a great game so far, but I lost most of my saves from my HD..

The infamous Deus Ex... hehe.. i have yet to have time to finish it... i'm SOOOOOO close... w/in 1-2hrs!!!! but nooooo.. school gets in the way.

And yes, it lags for me (celeron 800/128MB/TNT2U). It's based on Unreal/UT, so in effect, it's a Glide game. You get yourself a V3 and/or 256MB of ram, that seems to help the problem quite a bit.

K6-2/400 w/96MB PC66 @ 100MHz with 16MB PCI Banshee... 1024x768 with everything set to maximum, it's pretty laggy. Very playable in 640x480.

Little laggy at the start but other than that, works good on T-Bird 900 @ 927 with a Radeon DDR.

Are you talking to me? I don't see where I'm OCing 27MHz... My K6-2/350 is at 400, that's 50MHz, and my PC66 SDRAM is at 100MHz, that's an extra 34MHz.

I have a p3500 with 192 megs, and a v3 3000 and it lags but not that bad my friends herc g'thang 64 is not really that much better then my system. his specs are pretty much the same except video card.

How did I know I had that question coming? My processor has been overheating so I had to reduce the core voltage. I didn't unlock the multiplier yet and I didn't want to test the FSB too much so I settled on 103 mhz until I got a new heatsink. I'll increase it more later of course, but at the time I played and described it that's what it was set at.

It lags on all systems. It's one of my favorite games ... I beat it because it was so addicting.

How about Paulson? How does his gig handle it?
