Is there a way to allow Generals and Zero Hour to run faster?
I heard that the d3d9 patch by Scorpio9a last year could speed it up but the site's not up.
Thanks.

You can change the game speed to a slower rate so your computer can keep up. Disable unnecessary Windows services, close other open programs, etc. On the other hand, you'll need better hardware.

You forget that generals was made by EA, if you go out and buy a bran new computer it might run better, but its still made by EA so you never know. I mean look at Lord of the Rings: The witch king, I had to upgrade to Nvida 7950 before that ran smooth.

I'm getting a new computer soon, so never mind. What graphics card would you recommend for running C&C3 at highest setting without AA?

I can't tell, I used to run it on a 2.0Ghz 478 based, AGP 4X Radeon 9550 with just 768 MB of SDRAM (Yes, 133Mhz...) and an ATA 100 (!) drive..
I then got struck by lightning (not personally, the power lines did...) and got a new PC - 2.66GHz P4D, 1024 MB PC2-4300 RAM, SATA RAID 10 and an ATI X1650.
There's so much of a leap in my two PCs that I can't tell what speed it's supposed to run it, although I found myself getting flattened by "medium" AI who had never been that effective before...
*shrugs* It's EA...
LOL - I just realised that if it does speed up according to your hardware then it's like those old DOS games that run WAY too fast on multi-GHz PCs, only it was written in the age of multi-GHz PCs, go EA!

SiS graphics are not that good imo.
I have a 1.4GHz 256 MB Ram but Generals does run a bit faster than I thought it would.

No matter how I did it, no matter how good the computer was.
Generals was as slow as a commodore(Sp) 64. For me anyways.
And yet, yuri's revenge and RA2, ran so fast, Half the time i couldnt keep up with two brutal enemies.

Taking on 7 brutals on bay of pigs..... ah that were the days! Even fine tuned the AI with triggers on that map to make it harder <3.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I apologise, I'm no good with Nvidea hardware, I use ATI.
