Age Of Conan problems

[TheRedeemer]

Alright so I used http://www.systemrequirementslab.com before buying age of conan to make sure my pc can run it. It tests all your pc stuff and shows you if you can run it or not. It shows that my computer passes above minimum requirements but not by too much. Yet AoC runs very choppy at the lowest of all the settings. I am thinking it might be my video card because the test shows my video card barely makes it to requirements. I believe its an onboard and its a radeon x1250.

If im above minimum requirements I should be able to play the game at least on all lowest settings, yet I cant because its too choppy, makes no sense to say i meet the requirements and then can't play. I even put all my proccess running on the second core and AoC running on the other core at high priority, No improvement at all.


Heres some test info i copy and pasted:

so wtf...? I pass the video card ram by a lot and i have all the other crap..im sure it is a video card problem but i have an acer thats so tiny and I dont even think you can put a new video card in it, no room for anything. Can't even find anything on radeon x1250 lol so its got to be a piece of crap onboard. ugh if it shows i can play it i expect to be able to play it though. Would a geforce 8600 run this game pretty decent?

err.. there's no 1.4gb RAM on ANY video card, as far as I know. but yea, it's probably your video card. and minimum specs are REALLY the MINIMUM specs you can RUN the game, not play the game without it being choppy, notice the RECOMMENDED specs.

Im just copy and pasting what it says. I thought that myself that that was a bit unusually high, just the website is faulty i guess.

and ive played plenty of games with minimum reqs and it always works fine just have to play on minimum settings. minimum reqs is basically saying you can play the game but you wont be able to get the full potential. They cant just say oh yeah you can run the game with these settings but you cant actually play it. minimum reqs means its still playable. And the ammount of choppy i get is unplayable. I believe the website test just judged my video card wrong.
