Help With Settings Please

Klassic

Haven't played NS since version 2....I loved that game.....this due to real life issues etc etc.

Anyway back on board now and given my spec below, wondered what suggested settings for audio and video would be. I have turned the video resolution to the highest but it kinda hurts my eyes.

I appreciate this could be a personal thing and could expirement etc but wondered what others had things set to if they have similar spec. Thanks

AMD 64 3400
1 Gig SD Ram
Radeon 9800 128 Pro
Realtek AC97 Onboard Sound
a 17inch visible CRT
Windows XP Pro (yes I know I should linux but trust me...I am a technical disaster zone :-)

reckon that covers the relevant stuff. Would be grateful if you covered the audio settings as well

Again thanks for any help given

That computer can handle pretty much everything at the highest settings. I'd set everything at the highest setting, except for resolution, which should be at the setting you feel most comfortable with. Higher resolution is almost always better, up to the point right before it becomes difficult to read text.

Also, you might want to enable Anistropic filtering (AF) and Anti-aliasing (AA) set as high as you can. I'm not sure how you do that with a Radeon, but I would think it would be under display properties in the settings tab, under the advanced button.

If your frame rate is too low, just lower the AF/AA settings until its smooth.

I have a slower system (Athlon64 3000+ and Geforce3) and I can get 2xAA and 8xAF with no problem at 1152x864 and everything set on the highest quality it can go.

If higher resolutions are bothering your eyes, I wouldn't be suprised if it's due to the refresh rate of your monitor. I would suggest finding out which resolutions your monitor supports at 80hz or above, and use that resolution.
