CharmedLover84 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I'm so lookin' forward to having an 8800GTX can't wait. Speaking of which if no one buys my cards by Friday, they're EBay bound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxz Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Yup, same for my mobo, processor and ram a week from now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 The sweet spot seems to be somewhere around 1600 1680x1050 AA/AF both set to 16x in hardware All game settings at max Vsync on Stock speeds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Yep, mine gets around 27FPS with VSync off. I plan on playing it (once I get an EVGA 8800GTX) on 1680x1050 with 8X AA and everything else maxed. Course, one thing people don't know is... if you're getting less than 45FPS MINIMUM in the performance test, the game will not be playable at all times, because if your minimum is 45 IN THE TEST, in game you're looking at 30 or less as your minimum. That's why I like mine being around 50 LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Well trying to run any kind of OC on the cards is pretty much a waste. Even after going back to stock I can't quite match what I posted earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I should sendja the BIOS I have for mine to see if it'll work on yours hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Praz, can you do me a huge favor and run that at 1920x1200 if possible? I really wanna see the results verses a GTS, I'm trying to decide which to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MadDias Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 i reinstalled fear and lost all my savegames for fearxp by doing so... still got those stupid 180fps max when vsync is on. i´m beginning to hate this crappy fear engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxz Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 It is rather sloppy isn't it? It is kinda slow for, not-amazingly-good-looking graphics. I tried playing it for a bit to justify D/Ling it so long and I just got annoyed. For some reason, the shadows piss me off. They move wildly and are entirely TOO noticeable. I think it's because they are so unnatural looking that makes them that way. The edges are way to hard and the shadow is generally too dark. Maybe I'm asking too much from a current gen game but in my opinion, if you can't do it right, don't do it at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Thraxz, if you think the shadows are too smooth, here's how you fix the problem: First (I did this last night and it made me go :eek:), turn AA off completely and leave soft shadows on. This should make fading edges appear on the shadows. Test it in the performance test. Then, turn AA back on. This should KEEP those fading edges and reenable AA. I don't like it lookin' like that so I turned Soft shadows off then back on and it went back to "hard" shadows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MadDias Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 the only reason why i played this game was because u can shoot holes into walls and the hv penetrator... i love nailing people onto walls especially thru a door window. yeah.. the shadows.. i keep shooting at my own shadow. but really annoying is the stuttering which seems to be ati related (and very extreme in fearxp when i got out on the street)... i hate games showing that "nvidia" splash at the beginning "the way its meant to be played" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
