CapnTucker 29 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I tryed the Elite GFX pack long ago with my old Vista computer, and it turned the game into a slideshow. I couldn't afford an upgrade at the time, so I uninstalled it and forgot about it. My new(ish) PC has considerably more horsepower than the old one, and has been running Sacred 2 with nearly everything maxed out, so I thought I'd give the Elite pack another try. It will run now, but there is still a lot of slowdown. For those of you who are running it without issues, what are your system specs? My specs: W7 Ultimate w/SP1 AMD Athlon X4 @ 3.80Ghz GTX 660 Superclocked w/2GB RAM 8GB DDR3 system RAM Edited January 16, 2015 by CapnTucker Link to comment
Dorimil 224 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Sacred 2 has got a problem with memory leak at VRAM and tthe Elite GFX multiplies that. so I really don't think, that you ever will be able to use the Elite GFX without any problems (smaller or bigger ones) Link to comment

Yeah, I am well aware of the memory leak. Every couple of hours (sometimes longer), the game will crash, usually on area transitions. Most of the time I will start getting slowdowns as a warning sign (but not always). Truth be told, after installing the elite gfx, I could not see much difference, other than rocks and pavement looking a little more detailed. I've heard that the game looks better with SweetFX, which is not a resource hog. I may give that a try.. Link to comment
Dorimil 224 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) there are also posts from user, which could play over hours without any problems...I never understand why. I tried the Elite GFX after release with an SLI of two 8800er GTX or GTS (I don't remember! ) and got problemes. so I deinstalled it... Edited January 19, 2015 by Dorimil Link to comment
CapnTucker 29 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) I may try again when I upgrade my vidcard. A GTX660 should be enough, but apparently it is not. I'll just leave the elite gfx installed but deselected. Maybe someday I can use it. On a side note, I tried the SweetFX, and could not see any difference. I tried the Skyrim Post Process Injector also, but that made it look worse. Too bad, as the injector has made a lot of other games look better. Oh well, the Sacred 2 default graphics will just have to do.. Edited January 19, 2015 by CapnTucker Link to comment
KJnewBEE 18 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 My sacred 2 never crashed, I got -5fps once in awhile but that's it, 5-10 times in a 10 hour session , never used Elite GFX though, 1 Link to comment
