Holy cr@p!! Fudzilla says Far Cry 2 is DX10.1 http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9992&Itemid=1

Who has the Radeons?

Holy Cr@p!! This was already posted!






Scroll down like 2 inches on your 15 inch monitor and you will notice it. =P


Oh yea, I've got a Radeon, recently switched actually from Nvidiota

OMG little to no difference lol

the only thing I'm lookin forward to in 10.1 is that 20% increase in performance they were talking about with AA on. I don't see it, I really don't care

 

[mihirkula]

Where where where has this been posted...lol... my 17" doesn't show

Why no difference... Assassin's C got some major boost thanx to 10.1

It could mean the difference of having to lower IQ overall or not, but no biggie

 

[cyber_jockey]

Free AA I can live with that while you nvidiotas need raise that core.

 

[SpinachEater]

How did this DX10.1 bull pucky slip through the (WIMTBP) cracks? Nvidia needs to press charges. This is an outrage.

Seeing as you have neither it shouldn't be a prob for ur X1900


We'll see what it does, I'll compare screenies with the 4870 X2 and the 280s. I can't wait actually if its free AA, we should all be happy.


I don't kno what to beleive though, I mean the 4870 X2 was supposed to run like a single GPU card, but that flopped ...sigh this better be worth it.

yeah 4870X2 is a great card... but is viewed personally as a flop as it didn't do as promised (1.6 - 1.8 scaling no matter what)

I'm a little disappointed actually... I saw some preliminary benchmarks for FC2 here:

http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,663817/Test/Benchmark/Far_Cry_2_GPU_and_CPU_benchmarks/?page=1

and it doesn't actually perform that well compared to crysis... + it looks like sh*t in those screen shots... I don't know yet about this game...

According to that benchmark it looks like I need an upgrade

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

That was without the patched driver. Just wait, and see when its released, as these benches were too early to show the difference. Look at how the 4870 dominates the G260, so the 4850 will get a nice boost from this patch. Im thinking this game should play fine at lower fps, like Crysis does.

 

[IndigoMoss]

Sweet, I might be able to play this pretty decently on my HD 3850 in DX10 then. I had a very nice boost in AC when I reinstalled it and didn't patch it, so this hopefully will be the same deal.

 

[SpinachEater]

10.1 sir

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

I would guess the drivers for both nVidia and ATI arent fully optimised yet, but it looks like ATI got the jump on nVidia with theirs

 

[SpinachEater]

This is good. Not just for ATI and Ubi but for gamers. Hopefully there will be some pressure now to get away from DX10 and move into DX10.1 and beyond.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Well, we know DX11 is coming eventually, maybe July of next year, or possibly even earlier, so adopting DX10.1 now is good timing. Too bad nVidia deems it as unnecessary

Nvidia sees it as eye candy and isn't worried about performance because of their king card the 280 GTX.

I doubt the single 4870 will catch up to the 280 GTX but the 4870 X2 should show its shine right about now.

Like I said before I doubt the full potential of the X2 will be achieved until the the revisions of the new ATI, and by then it will get phased out just like the GX2. The 280 GTX might live during the process but be put down with the revision as well.

Nvidia is very well known to stop driver support all of a sudden, and dual GPU cards are always the first to go for either company. Thats why I'm kinda of afraid of whats going to happen, and I'm pondering of just selling the X2 all together. i'm going to wait till star craft 2, if it truly uses dx 10.1 I'll prob stay put.

Very hard decisions comin soon enough, Nvidia's 350 GTX, and the ATi revisions. What they pull out of their rump only time will tell.

Don't go AWOL on me Liquid, stay strong, keep that X2. It IS the BEST single card on the market these days. And for people (like you and me) who constantly upgrade to the latest and greatest cards, are you REALLY concerned about long-term driver support? Odds are you'll sell that beast and move on to the next Nvidia/ATI X2 / flagship when it comes out anyways, I mean, am I wrong?

 

[murdoc]

=D Finally a game that uses the extra .1 in DX10! yuppie!

 

[yonef]

...OK, there they are: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=38664
Far Cry 2 hotfix.
Enjoy

Free AA I can live with that while you nvidiotas need raise that core.

whats wrong being an nvidiotas??
celebrate the moment. 1 more game that finally supports 10.1!!!
=]

 

[L1qu1d]

he has an x1900 he doesn't have anything to celebrate about

I think i'm going to be happier when I find a good water cooling block for the X2.

It is interesting to see a Q6600 compare to the e8400 in this game. Only I doubt that it would that make much difference when you hit higher resolutions. I predict that if you have at least a 3.2-3.4 dual and a 2.8-3.0 quad you should be fine in this game unlike crysis. Overall I just really hope this game is fun! and I love the gameplay video of when hes driving the jeep around. sweet!
