FC2 is DX10.1

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

+1

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

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.

According to that benchmark it looks like I need an upgrade

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.

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

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

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?

...OK, there they are: http://support.ati.com/ics/support [...] onID=38664
Far Cry 2 hotfix.
Enjoy

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!

Those still on an a64(or god forbid, p4) are going to have to go Phenom or core duo/quad to keep the min above 30 for smooth gameplay. It's looking like the min cpu power is a 3GHz a64 x2 or a core duo 2.2GHz or quad at 2GHz. I wonder how well a midrange radeon hd2600xt that I recieved today is going to perform in dx9 under winxp. Im guessing 1920x1080p medium details no aa/af

Hehe, more like a Ferrari sitting on blocks. PC Gamer review just got me pretty excited about this. I can see the closing paragraphs coming true.

The pictures on the review don't look very impressive. They actually worry me. I'm still buying the game either way, but...maybe it's just console pics instead of PC.

Right now I have a 32" 1360x768 LCD monitor/TV so this isn't really high res gaming. I will upgrade again soon and give this cheap core duo rig to my mom thatll replace her slow celeron 1.1GHz. I got that video card way too cheap, but im not complaining. Itll mean more money for an even better card soon.

I don't have to worry about that, I have never played crysis yet. So it should all look amazing to me.

It is tough to judge graphics off review pics and 4 inch videos but it for sure won't be Crysis graphics. That is fine though because they aren't using the graphics as a selling point. With lighting and shading effects (look at COD4) you can make a game look pretty good and run smooth.

They are using the game play as a selling point so that is what I would like to see really come through for FC2. Pushing the visual boundaries is one way to go with a game but game play is another aspect that IMO is more important. Half-life series comes to mind...the game sucks you in but the graphics aren't anything to write home about. When ever I hear people over walkies with deep voices I start to panic for some reason...

What is good about that type of immersive game play is that you forget about the graphics after the first 5 minutes anyway so they don't need to be tip top. I admit...it would be nice to have Crysis graphics...but I think it is more important to keep the game smooth so you don't think about changing the graphic settings in the middle of some heavy action because the FPS are bogged down.

You are right. Stalker is not very nice to my PC. I have high hopes for Far Cry 2 tho, no disrespect for the game.

Wasn't targetting your computer directly sorry for making it seem like it, when I said ur, I mean the public. Even a 280 GTX does around 40 fps maxes out stalker @ 1280x1024 from benchmarks I've seen.


I have high hopes for FC2 as well, I don't care all that much about graphics to be honest as long as the fps are stable. I like the 35 mile no loading screen or 50 or w.e number

I'm also hoping that survival theme plays a bigger role then just blind narrow shooting in this game. when FC 1 came out, it was soo revolutionary because it was the first jungle theme game where you can actually sneak and not just shoot, also go anywhere without being worried.

Its magazine scans. Stop being so anal and protective of Crysis.

Its not nonsense. You got a person in this thread crying over some pics in the link.

Youre not the only person here, you know that right?

In the demo movie where the storm rolls in it seems pretty realistic how the environment responds. They show that all of the smoke and debris obey the wind direction....pretty cool. Making paths through the grass and having the AI follow them is pretty cool too. I get the impression that the Dunia engine doesn't seem to be as hardcore with physics as the Cryengine2 but it does seem to focus more on environment realism.

Are you directing that at L1qu1d? There isn't any protection of Crysis....FC2 won't be on par with Crysis graphics. That is all that he has been saying. I was talking about this above, it wouldn't be a good idea on Ubi's part to gun for high quality graphics. The target of the game is to be as immersive as it can get. If they ramped up the graphics to where everyone was constantly adjusting the settings, like you do in Crysis, it would make their efforts pointless. If they don't want you to cut away to a map, they for sure don't want you to go through the graphics menu over and over to fix the lags.

^^ i think intel had something to do with the game being taxing
