I downloaded Velvet Assassin from Steam so I could use the cheats from the trainer because the console version is so frustratingly hard. My specs are: dual core 2.66 Ghz, 4 Gigs RAM, and a GeForce 8600 GT. The only way this game will run liquid smooth is if I turn every setting to the minimum, turn off anti-alaising, and set it to 800x600. If I turn even one setting (especially the resolution) up one notch, the game is absolutely unplayable. It runs at like 5 frames per second, no joke. The thing is, I can run games like Bioshock, Doom 3, and FEAR with every setting at maximum at 1440x900, and there's not so much as a hiccup in the framerate. So, I don't get it. Is it just poor programming or what?
Would another graphics card help? I've been thinking about a GeForce 9800 GTX. The thing is, I don't know if my power supply is enough for a 9800, or if it will fit in my computer. How do you find out what your power supply is?
