Far Cry Question

[nVidia_Freak]

My 5700LE @ 290/436 runs Far Cry at a solid 30 fps with everything on High, at 1024x768. I mean, with a 4x AGP slot and only 6 gbps bandwidth for it, it just seems too fast for the card. Especially on Far Cry.

 

And also, is Far Cry ment to run in a resolution lower than 1024x768? Because anything lower for faster fps, all the graphics turn into blue fog.

Farcry is a Very Grapic Dependable game.

That probably sounds about right...I'll be if you were to set it all to Very High it would cripple the poor thing.

I can't run it at anything lower than 1024x768, it all turns to crap!

To get Anti-Aliasing to look decent you have to run at 1200x1024 or higher IMO. Anything lower looks blah. Like Shadowfactor said, FC is a stout game. I've seen a few websites classify the game as a "system hog". But that was several months ago.

 

I run an OC'ed 9800 Pro (438/386) on FC @ 1200x1024, all options set to Very High or Ultra High, AA @ 6x, and Anisotropic Filtering set to 8 I think. It handles fairly well until I get shot by one of the monsters with a rocket launcher built into his arm. The resulting explosion bogs my system down a bit.

 

Keep the resolution up, but try turning a few of the graphics options down just a bit, like AA and AF. With those two off, the rocket explosions don't have as much effect on my framerates.
