Should I get a more powerful video driver?
More ram?
Better processor?
Better CPU?

I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti version 311.06

Should I upgrade that or get a better unit?

I would advise against upgrading hardware just for NL2 until we at least know a lot more about the performance issues going on.

How does it run atm? 4gb of ram and a 550 *should* be enough to run on medium fine

I was wary of my PC as well, because I have the integrated processor/gfx card, AMD/Radeon 6550 I think 8G RAM, and the demo works fine as does the editor itself. Definitely a bit different, but I like it.

For your PC I would hold off on upgrading until performance issues have been fixed with the game. When someone like me with a beastly gaming rig is getting 100+ fps on max settings and then drops to 29 as soon as I turn my gaze toward the station, that's a game optimization issue.

For some reason, they didn't optimize or test this on AMD GPU's it seems. I also have an AMD card (270X), which runs with the GTX760, yet the performance is crap.

A critical update better address this.

I enables my Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti processor and I now get 27 or higher FRPS when looking at the Olympic looping coaster. I still get 17 FRPS when looking at the Tango.

Just jump right in and pick up a copy. I'm running it on a laptop and it runs fine. Sure every once in a while I get an fps dip but it is rare. Get it from these links though: post25093.html#p25093

I actually upgraded my RAM and GPU. I'm in the process of upgrading piece by piece to a newer PC anyway! NL2 runs at max specs with few hiccups.
Oh, were you expecting something here?

amd a10 with r7 chip built in and 16gb of ram and it runs everything on ultra with no lag or drop
but i would like to see nl2 update with amd mantle so that amd chip sets can get better performance out of the game

I want to buy a Intel i9 cpu and a stronger graphics card than my NIDIVA GeForce GTX 960. Maybe a NIDIVA Titan card. I hope to run Jamp Up Land or my 26 mile long jet coaster at max fps.

The best reason to upgrade your PC.

I have this new 2,000 dollar dell gaming pc coming now! Now I will be able to work on my 26.5 mile long jetcoaster!

I want to make it 100 miles long next year! Plus add 80 more knockoff coasters to Jamp Up Land! Plus run the new RMC update even better.

That's not upgrading, that's outright replacing the old system.

Should I have 100 i9 CPUs, 100 NIDIVA RTX graphics cards and 100 TB of ram for my gaming pc? Then I could run Jamp Up Land at 100,000 fps! It would cost 1,089,000 to have it I think.
