My specs are, Intel Core Quad Q8300 @ 2.50, GTX 285 and 6GB of RAM. I get a stable FPS of 54 on everything high, V-sync ON, and @1900X1200. It's playing without any issues but just curious shouldn't I get a higher FPS then 54 with this computer?

You probably could by overclocking either your GPU or CPU which should give you 10-20% performance. But before you do that, try turning Vsync off....Vsync caps your frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate. Now if you're using the benchmarking tool on NBA 2K10 to measure your frames, I suspect it might be off. I have FRAPs running during the benchmark program and it says I'm getting 60 FPS while the 2K10 benchmark tool says I'm getting 51 FPS at the same time so you might be getting 60 FPS already. I've never had an issue with FRAPS incorrectly counting frames.

BTW, what's the best mod for adding 360 icons into the game correctly? I ask this b/c the one I'm currently using off a mod site absolutely sucks. yeah, you get the icons, but it labels the controls incorrectly.

Not at that resolution. Plus, I'm guessing you might be getting bottle-necked by that CPU. Low clock speed, sure quad, but still. 6GB RAM? What? Why? You're better having 4GB running in dual-channel than 6GB in single channel.

Clock speed isn't a true measurement of processor power. Otherwise we'd still be using higher end P4's. I'm running the game at 1600x1200 with everything turned to max on an E8400 dual core. The guy has an i7 with a GTX285. If anything, he should be pushing the settings even harder.

Actually when I turn off vsync and do the benchmark I get 77 FPS. But I'm afraid I'll get screen tearing so I kept the vsync ON.
But maybe you're right about the in-game benchmark FPS count. Maybe it is playing @ 60 as you said. Cause it feels very smooth when I play the game to be honest.
Oh also I have the Intel Quad Q8300 @2.50 not the i7

I think you either a) didn't read back a few page or b) have me confused with someone else.

The man I'm talking to has a Q8200 (2.33 ghz with 4MB L2 cache) quad core with 6GB (I'm guessing DDR2 667). I know clock speed isn't everything (as evidenced by the L3 caches being released as well as i7's dominance in the CPU department). I was commenting on the fact that his processor is used as primarily a Multi-tasking & Media CPU, not a gaming one.

Of course, you do have the luxury of having a very good gaming CPU in the e8400...

I would love to benchmark you at both stock and max overclock you've hit. The highest I can go stable at is like 3.6ghz on my PII 720

..I apologize....I was skimming. That and I was explaining to this guy on another forum who believed that processor speed is the end all and be all of performance (he was telling people that a single core 3.0 ghtz processor outperforms a core 2 duo despite many of us pulling out benchmarks proving otherwise). Anyways, my bad..

Nah, you didn't do anything wrong. Could of happened to anyone.

I am more confused now!

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

PC Game noob here...

Is there anyway somebody could possibly tell me where to get my specs from on my computer, post them on here, and get somebody to tell me whether or not my computer would support the game?

It looks awesome, and I am very interested to see how well it gets modded.

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

Enjoying the PC version! I have both the PC and the 360 version and I actually prefer the PC version so far. Both are nice, but the PC seems more polished to me.

Re: NBA 2K10 PC thread

^You're absolutely right. I had the PS3 version as well. PC wins hands down for me.

You have nothing to worry about. In fact, if you have a higher resolution monitor, you should try pushing it past 1080p. I'm sure your video card can handle it.

i gotta upgrade my pc, game is running so laggy.

Cool thanks. I'm running the game on 1920x1200 already.

I was thinking more of 2560x1600
