I am currently trying to run this game on a wondows vista computer with the following spec

Inte core 2 Duo Processor E6300

NVidia GeForce 7300LE

1 Gig Ram

I am having problems playing the game. It Is very slow and very bumpy if you can see where i am coming from, i have even changed the settings so that it is on the lowest setting for graphics,

How can i get this game to play properly withouth the glitch or whatever you want to call it??

Any Help would be greatly Appreciated

I fear it's not going to get any better with that graphics card you have, sorry.

[bendixon]

****, what graphics card do you recommend then, and how much will it cost, and is that all i will need to update ??

try leaving the video settings in the game, and messing around with the ones on your nvidia control panel. many people have found this give a boast in performance.

The cheapest card that'll play TDU with decent settings is the 7600GT, which is around 55 quid.

You might also consider getting another gb of ram, as 1gb is a bit low for gaming under Vista.

You don't need to upgrade your CPU though - you've got a very fast one :)

I can get a 8400 from ebay for around £35-40, is this recommended or not, anyone bought something like this from ebay before ?

[kalniel]

The 8400 is far worse than the 7600GT, not recommended at all.

I've bought graphics cards from ebay before - as long as you're not expecting 100% perfection it's good.

Thanks for the help, is the 7600GT, the cheapest and most able card to play the game at a very small budget ?

It does depend on how low you're willing to drop the settings to - the 7600GT can run smoothly at 1280x1024, full details but no HDR.

The 6800GT is roughly the same speed, and 6800GS is only a bit slower.

Other than that yes - dropping below to the 8400/7300/x1550 will mean you really have to drop the resolution and run on low settings to have a playable experience :(
