Graphics compatibility test - DISCUSSION THREAD

[thndregg]

Guess I'm screwed when this is implimented. My 5 year old ATI 9800 runs at a 12 framerate on that test program. My comp won't accept a new video card as AGP slots are outmoded. I simply won't have $$$$ to shell out on building a new machine until next year.

get you one for $300 on ebay. they are there, just got to get creative when searching.

White water. Might be my driver?

This was taken from where A1 would be in-game.

Anyone notice the absence of the 15K haze/mist/cloud layer?

I think it’s a good idea to leave it out, just  like in scenarios. It creates a sort of visible barrier that many people don’t like to cross. I’m sure we will see a lot more medium to high altitude fights with it removed.

I like that the rock looks like rock now, the old terrain was green everywhere. The water reflections look very nice too.

Perhaps a future version of the tester could have some way of forcing it to use the low detail terrain for those who have lousy framerate or other problems with the good looking stuff. Just for reassurance they will still be able to play the game when the new version comes out.

Terrain was gorgeous!

Unfortunately I have a PC that is only 4 months old with dual 4850s running Crossfire and my FR was 17.15

in my monitors native resolution of 1920X1200 32 bit.

oopps

The FPS takes about 10-30 seconds to load the correct numbers.

You should be getting crazy FPS, not 17.15!

It was gray before, this is much better.

Have you guys taken a look at the airfileds are they different?

Kazaa:

I had ATI control center started at Boot.

Used msconfig and omitted it from Boot list.

FR went from 17.15 to 163.8  1900X1200 native resolution and game resolution I use.

<phew>

tip!  Don''t have ATI Control center running!  Make sure it is not started on Boot!

Don't worry.  I'm in the process of even finding out if I can upgrade....7 yr old computer, 5 FR

[Kazaa]

If HTC have new clouds next on the list then I'm going to be really, really happy.

[eh]

FR 65.60
Res 1024x768

Win XP 64 bit
AMD 64 4000+ 2GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6800, 256 Mb

Used original test file. Everything looks as it should. Not bad for an old machine.

for Stokes

[Ruah]

so my 512 mb graphics card will be able to take this?
