Thx but I wrote wrong i have an ATI 5770 Radeon, so... I hope I will get a better frame rate in SSE by changing graphic card.

Well change it over, install the drivers and load up SSE.

Report your findings

well hello sundry and all ,just bought and installed sse and updated it and obviously on my rig the graphics crashed and required re-booting.Here is my rig....XP Prof sp3,amd athl 3200+, 2gb ram ,ati rad x1900 256mb mem.I would like to ask if I can get away with only upgrading the video card to say radeon HD5670 1gb mem as described here

or I need something more xpensive or even a cpu upgrade?

Any assistance would be really apreciated

thanks in anticipation

Hi Skipper do you have a Paradox boxed version of the game which uses Steam?

@capt spenc, ahoy !, no I downloaded straight from shipsim site.Furthermore the start-up graphics flash badly and the game crashes after entering, in my case ,free roaming.I see bits and pieces of of the controls,flashing background then a white screen then after a few moments a message saying video drivers don't respond therefore resetting and then a message to  re-boot.I did notice that during installation something by the name of Physx for ati was installed .What is this?
cheers

You need a new pc, this system can´t handle SSE, no matter what you do!

[sondre-tide]

Well, I have put in the ATI card, and I went from medium quality with lagg to best quality with very very little lag so I found it very odd that Ship simulator is a more of a graphic card game than a prosessor game, if u know what I mean. Like in Flight Simulator graphic card doesn't play a big role, but the cpu does, in SSE i fell that the graphic card play a bigger role at least thats my experience...

This game is very, very. very bad optimized. I cant play it on lowest details but I can play Mafia 2 on highest details.

just installed ati 5770 1gb ram and though it takes long to load the game, once she loads , it's full steam ahead.Now I can finally start nit-picking the game  like everyone else......but only in a constructive and non-offensive manner of course.
Ship ahoy lads!!!
