64 bit version of FarCry.

I just found out. Farcry is going to be releasing a 64 bit version soon. I signed up to get news about it.

Will I experiense the difference 64 bit does with a Nforce chipset?

When the 64 bit is going to be realesed will I also need a 64 bit OS to experiense the differense?

I need to clearify something.

A pentium 4, that's a chipset right?

Don't know much about comps, be easy on me.

fine laugh all you want. I'll go find out somewhere else.

I'm going to start a poll and ask:

Do you guys like reading for fun?

I guess there's going to be alot more that say "yes".

My answer is hell no

Why can't someone just say "yes" or "no"? I'm going to start calling you guys all geeks. If you help me I won't. I asked nicely and look what happens.

I will problebly have to force myself to read.

Will I experiense the difference 64 bit does to FarCry with a Nforce chipset?

nforce 2 is for athlons? He didn't say nforce2, he said nforce, so he is speaking of the nforce3, which is in fact for the Athlon 64. In fact, they just came out with a revision for it called the pro 250 I believe and it is pretty good.

That'll be enough L1 cache for me too...

u want a mobo with an nforce3 chipset only if your going to use an A64 though

Athlon XP 2800+, ASUS A7N8X-X, 512mb PC2700 DDR
128mb ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (430/385)
3D Mark03 Score <font color=red>6,316</font color=red>

These are my specs now:

P4 1.60GHZ
9700 pro (AA and AF set to application preferance, it's not overclocked)
audigy 2 zs platinum pro
768 mb of ram

I'm playing FarCry with all graphic options set to very high, water set to ultra high. My framerate slows down. So I decided to set everything in graphics to medium, water I left it to ultra high. Now my framerate is fater, BUT WHY?

I have a good graphic card right? Is it my cpu or my ram causing slowdowns when graphics are all set to very high, water ultra high?

I don't remember if I asked this already. But is anyone here with a rig playing this game with AA, AF, graphics, sound set to max and with framerate that doesn't slow down and affect gameplay?

I would agree, I think it is your CPU. But before you run off and grab yourself a shiny new Athlon64 I think you need to go away and do a lot more research.
A computer is a big investment so you need to know what is on offer and what you want.

Now you seem to want an Athlon64, this is a great CPU for playing games but the 64bit extensions are USELESS at the moment. Even when Windows XP64 is released, it is debatable how much of a difference the 64bit extensions will make.

You will need to buy a new motherboard to support your new CPU, and possibly new RAM. If you want the Athlon64 this will be an expensive upgrade.

And you think its going to perform much better than the 32bit version? Wont it need windows XP64? (im not sure).

The same reason they introduced the geforce 4200ti's wuith AGP 8x support...because its good marketing.
It might make a bit of a differenc but I doubt its gonna push your frame rates through the roof. A better graphics card would make more of a difference I think.

Let us know what their response is (if you get one).

64 MB GeForce4 Ti4200 = 8.0 GB/s memory bandwidth
128 MB GeForce4 Ti4200 = 7.1 GB/s memory bandwidth
64 MB GeForce4 Ti4200-8x = 8.0 GB/s memory bandwidth
128 MB GeForce4 Ti4200-8x = 8.0 GB/s memory bandwidth

128 MB GeForce4 Ti4200-8x was definately a better card, more than just marketing

Yeh but the fact it was better had nothing to do with the AGP 8x interface. They just slapped that on the box so people would be impressed.

All Im saying is that far cry is a graphically intense game, so performance is going to rely much more on you graphics card than on your processor. So I dont think a 64bit version of far cry is gonna be a whole lot better than the 32bit version. (do games need to perform calculations that use 64bits often?)

Its about getting the right balance of components, as long as your your CPU and RAM is not a bottleneck then a 9700pro should be fine for it. However if you want to run it with antialiasing and ansiotropic filtering at a resolution above 1024x768 then no a 9700pro is prob not gonna be able to do it.

What are your system specs? What drivers are you using for your mboard, sound card, gfx card?

You can get a 64-bit processor right now with the Athlon64. However, I'm almost 100% positive that you will have to wait for a 64-bit OS (Windows XP for Extended Systems) and 64-bit drivers for your hardware (which I'm sure will be there in time for the OS) before you can run 64-bit software.

Will you see any benefits? Maybe and maybe not. The jury is still out on if performance will improve. The main issue is the memory address space that 64-bit hardware and software will allow. This could lead to increased performance, but we won't be sure quite yet.
