The game is running soo slow. WTF?
The game is running soo slow. WTF?
I have a 1.6g p4, 256k ddr ram. and 1 40g hd. BGII ran awesome. This game hardly runs during the game. The pointer just keeps flashing also. If this is the way it runs then that sucks. My graphics card is a stock one so I am sure that is a problem, but this game takes a lot of stuff to run. Any suggestions.

Try going to the "Game Options" section and decreasing some of the more graphically intensive parameters. This may allow the game to run more quickly.

Change Chip or Graph card?
I have celeron 850 (overclocked to 1020 Mhz), 750 MB of RAM and Geforce2 GTS graphics card. At 800x600 and "low" graphics options the game runs really badly
. It takes a lot of time for the game to respond and the graphics is jumpy, also startup is really slow (i almost think it hangs). This is not because of overclocking. The Chip runs at 100% all the time. So shoulkd i get a new graphics card (Geforce3/4) or a new Chip (P3 1300 or something)? i have Win XP and the game uses about 220 MB of memory. I think the game has bad memory managemnent because is seems to use HD a lot.

Change Chip or Graph card? -- Neither!!
Wow!! By the simple expedient of downloading he new driver from NVIDIA, disabling all programs in the taskbar, changing the font from 120 to 96 pts, removing the taskbar "always on the top" function and changing the screen resolution to 800x600 I have managed to increase the graphics performance in the NWN by several hundreds (or maybe even thousands) of percent. I don't know which of these changes are necessary but they are all recommended by the Winbench 99. I changed the driver after WB99 crashed. This is interesting because my earlier driver was not "that" old and certainly Win XP compliant. It is possible that XP "auto-update" has replaced the driver or it is simply too old for NWN. Try this before bying Geforce 3/4 Geforce2 can be quite sufficient.
