PeterCanessa Oh Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Alright; amongst all my outstanding achievements I am a philosopher. Amazingly enough no-one has yet refuted the OP's claim that no 'modern' PC - defined as one using a graphics card more recent than the nVidia 220 - can run SL. My ancient 8300 probably is suitable for landfill so I can't argue with him. Obviously all the non-PC users (Apple is the only contender I can think of, since Linux is usually run on PC hardware) can't either, smug gits ^^. The secondary claims that it's all a deliberate plot by LL, we're all trolls and that making suggestions for games in response to a request is "unhelpful" are, well, laughable. That's why I'm enjoying this thread so much. So is any bugger going to spoil it by unequivocally stating "I use SL on PC hardware with xxxxx graphics card", where xxxxx is newer than an nVidia 220?

I'm using a GeForce GTX 550 TI, so 2 generation older than the newest release and having no problems signing in on any viewer. I keep up with the various viewers since I'm an admin in an RP sim and need to be able to help players with graphics settings and need to know where what is on the various viewers.

QED ;-) I would say "spoilsport" but as we both know some people rarely let the truth get in the way of a good rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Bobbie, Bobbie, Bobbie. A GTX550? I mean, come ON. That would be several strata below the 600 series in the landfill. You'd have argeekeology students crowded around the dig saying, "OMG!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Faulds Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 It works and I get between 35 and 40 fps unless I'm involved in metered combat...then the fps drops to 10. I'll be upgrading when I build my new computer. Just waiting on some money to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 In case you weren't sure, I was just kidding. My graphics card is so far below the 550 it would need a ladder just to shine the 550's shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did! Ten years. *Grins* During that time I replaced three hard drives iirc, maxed out the RAM for that PC, and just before getting my new PC the PSU quit working but the 5700LE kept ticking along. One reason I LOVE nVidia cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finneli Felwitch Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I am terribly sorry to post in such an old thread but I just have to share my PC specs. I connect to Second Life with a Dell Inspiron 3520 purchased from the store for $398 The screen has a max resolution of 720p I have a total of 1 Memory stick of 4GB of DDR3 A CPU/integrated graphics called Intel HD 3000 with a shared memory capacity of 1600MB. The graphics is the equivalent of an Nvidia G210 (slight upgrade from an Nvidia 8400). According to Linden Lab, the HD 3000 is an unsupport graphics card for Second Life. The CPU is the lowest possibly Intel I3. I get an epic 10 FPS on medium settings with draw distance set to 80. (that speed only happens when I am in an empty sim, like a very empy sandbox) I upgraded to that Laptop from a Desktop that I had used for many years. My Desktop: The graphics card is a Radeon 9000 64mb AGP-slot CPU is an AMD Athlon xp 1500+ 1.3 GHz I had (2) 256mb memory DDR2 My screen was a 12" CRT monitor I got 1-3 FPS on the lowest settings. Still I continued to use Second Life, I feel getting such slow speeds helped build my patience level, if something does not work, I don't explode like Iceing Braveheart has done in this thread. (I listed the Intel HD 3000 in Bold highlight because the graphics is unsupported yet I can still connect to Second Life) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
