Dent1: if u get pissed off then dont comment in my thread. Final fantasy will be a heavy game. it will rquire at least a 5850. im still dwelling in which way to go. should i buy a 5850 or gtx 460 and overclock? the 5850 is faster than 285 on stock, which gtx 460 isnt.

well, yes, i have this habit of playing every game on MAX settings. even if they gonna slow down my GPU. lol. like just cause 2, metro 2033, i played them on max with my old hardware even when the performance was low. i dont like to sacrifice quality over higher performance. i know im...

but the recommended gpu for this game is a 460 though. i think some effects were OFF In the benchmark. like Ambient Occlusion. and u know thats a big performance eater. also Shadow was on Normal.

so 36% of performance increase at 1680res if i go with the 460 and 42% increase with the 5850. also the gap increases on higher resolution. so 40% of performance increase is good enough and would it be an upgrade? but at the same time, the performance increase over a 5770 is only 12%...

well a stock 5850 is always faster than a stock 460. unless the 460 is overclocked. no? but how much is the improvement over my 9800gtx+ OC either card anyway?

i saw a benchmark which shows that 5850 is like 20 fps faster than a 460. so is it possible for 5850 to be much better than 460??? i have listed my specs . i will be upgrading anyway in general. but im not sure yet if i go for a HIS ATI HD 5850 or EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1gb SuperClocked...

im going to upgrade my gpu next month. eithre a 5850 or gtx 460 1gb. which one is better and for this game? which card has connectors on the side? because my case is small.

cpu

set the res of ur desktop to the max and then try. i get 2500 on high. with my q9400 at 3.60ghz and 9800gtx+ superclocked. 3GB ram. how much is the difference between core i7 at 2.66ghz and q9400 at 3.6ghz? can q9400 at 3.6ghz be faster or equal?

newtekie1: lol, ur logic fails. by ur logic any hardware is outdated when purchased then. i dont think like u. i have Q9400 at 3.6ghz and its pretty fast in anything, and its 2 years old or something. just because the hardware isnt the latest, it doesnt mean that its slow. it just depends...

i dont have the evidence but it is possible that Nvidia or ATI give the developers of these games money in order to make them run bad on peoples hardware. true or false but i believe it. I believe that ATI and Nvidia give millions or even billions of dollars to the developers in order to make...

well, i dont notice or cant tell when im getting low fps or high fps. maybe because im used to getting low fps. but i dont care. i just play the game. unless its very sluggish all the time. i played games like just cause 2, Crysis, Metro 2033, Bad company 2 all on very high settings at...

Samdbugman: i think using fraps is better. points dont say anything. i believe fraps. Mussels: well, i dont mind dipping to 25fps sometimes :). believe ir or not, i played and finished Metro 2033 on Very high at dx10 at 1600*1200 res with this card. :). and that was with physix on. so...

but 25fps was the minimum fps, not average. average is mostly at 35 or 38fps. i just saw a one time dip to 25fps .

i just used fraps and my fps was mostly at 40 or 44fps. during fighting mostly at 35 or 38 fps and the very minimum was about 25 or 26fps. very playable to me at high. i dont see how this game is demanding now. some people say only cards like 480 or 5970 can max this game out. but how...
