I recently went from Win2k to XP, after a format of my boot partition. Civ3 now runs like dirt!!! The difference is unbelievable. Actually, it's now unplayable IMO. Ir went from fast and smooth to slow and unresponsive. It seems like the gfx aren't being rendered quickly anymore.
I have a monster rig:
P4 1.7
384 RAM
GF3 (using 21.83 official drivers)
SB Live
All latest non-beta drivers
I consider myself extremely knowledgable about tweaking and configuring systems. I noticed improvments in other games, but Civ3 is horrifying slow. Map redraw is terrible and input response is 10x slower.
Anyone have any ideas? So far, I'm not thrilled with XP and I'll most likely go to Win98SE soon.
