is fiesta a resource hog?

[KY_Jelly]

so my computer is pretty well built, and i'm on a pretty fast connection (28000 kb/s dl speed anyone?) but for some reason i cant run any music player and fiesta. Zune software wasn't working, so i switched to WMP since its a bit less resource intensive, that still was giving me some lag, so i switched to winamp, which is probably the smallest music player available, and i'm still spiking pretty bad.

So right now i'm worried, but does anyone have the minimum and reccomended specs for fiesta so i can see if my computer is just being weird or if this is normal. I'm sure they are on the outspark website, but opera breaks that page and i uninstalled IE.

I run a comp with 1.6 Ghz CPU and 700 Mb RAM, and it eats up 99% of my CPU.

It eats my virtual memory like you wouldn't believe @_@

the fact that you can even run the game on those specs and i'm still getting lag on my specs worries me a bit

dual core 2.66Ghz per core, 4gigs of ram, dual 8800GTX SLi.

and it's still not strong enough to run fiesta and a media player? o.O

Fiesta by itself take sup roughly 55% and with the music player on it goes up to around 60% give or take... I run Windows Media Player btw.

My connection isn't that great running on wireless but I hardly lag... even in Elderine/Roumen with the spammers.

huh?..i play fiesta with rakion while im resting in fiesta..and it doesn't lag.

It's possible that you've got something else running in the background that's eating up the RAM. Try a spyware/virus scan to make sure everything is fine. Also doing a Disk Cleanup to get rid of temporary files would help clear up some space. Doing a periodic defragmentation works as well especially after downloading huge files and/or lots of files.

you really think i dont already do that on a on a regular basis?

you think anyone with a computer built like mine doesn't do that on a regular basis?

Have you tried Fiesta without SLI? There have been known problems with SLI giving lower FPS on games (just search google).

If you're using a high resolution, try going down to a lower one. I really don't think the resolution is the problem as you have GTX's, but its just something I thought of.

Also, whats your CPU usage when Fiesta is running? Ram usage?

As a comparison, I'm running a Q6600 and X1650 Pro, at 1280x960 res, 40% cpu usage tops. You definitely shouldn't be having these problems.
