9600m gt vs command and conquer zero hour

hi , i think that c&c generals : zero hour is considered a very old game by now i have the 9600m gt , however whan i play in skirmish mode with all 7 cpu players against me (max players allowed on a map) , i find the game really slow , especially when they attack ........
the game is very old by now , isn't it weird to witness a slow performance of the video card with a game that old ???

 

are you on battery?

 

that is not normal at all...especially with your specs. try updating your drivers?

 

it isn't weird. it's a very resource consuming game, specially with 7cpu players. it's normal.

 

It could be your CPU is finding it hard to compute the hundreds of different units on the map. I think it isn't the GPU that is causing the slowdowns therefore.

 

It should not be the GPU. I was able to play C&C zero hour on my asus v6j with geforce 7400.

 

That games ancient and ran fine on my A64 3200+ back in the day its not his specs that are the problem. Most of the old c&c games need some kind of tweak to not crash or run slow as hell on modern PC's.

Sorry i didnt like that game much so i cant be much help here apart from say the usual update your drivers, update generals, also if its the TFD version theres a 1.03 patch out for that i think its unofficial but its still good.

 

I vaguely recall C&C Zero Hour playing deliberately slower in skirmish/multiplayer compared to single player.

I may just be imagining things.
