don't think so, maybe renaming the exe?

is this game biased towards nvidia cards because I ran my HD4890 with it and it only a little better my oced 8800GS

Its CPU intensive not GPU, just like WoW and all other Blizzard games. Won't see much comparison here with video cards.

not yet.

ATI said its possible, but the performance hit is huge - so they're working on a better AA profile for the game before letting you use it the easy way.

Its pretty much GPU intensive,

GPU usage was pretty much peaking at 80%-90% usage.. am booting it with 4xAA, 4xTransparency AA.. where as BFBC2, I just get 60-65 max.

Hybrid_theory · Jul 30, 2010

nice pics

. My fav mission so far is the one where you blow up the trains. Was pretty sweet. I stopped playing the campaign as the cinematics arent as good on my laptop as they are on my desktop. Was running prime95 on my desktop as ive been trying to stabilize it.

Lionheart · Jul 30, 2010

Finished the Campaign lastnite, all I can say is that this is a brilliant polished game :rockout:

and I hope they sort out the AA as well, not that its really noticable compared to other games :toast:

Ah well when you add AA and such then I'd guess it would be.

the high GPU usage is just because of the AA, you're using a poorly optimized brute force method.

Frizz · Jul 30, 2010

I forgot how hard some missions were

. Its very time consuming coming up with strategy's 3 hours a day will last me for a week or two :ohwell:

.. And I have a written contract signed in my DNA to finish the single player first before Multiplayer :banghead:

erocker · Jul 30, 2010

For ATi users there will be a 10.7 hotfix next week for AA.

Whats that in the Top Left Corner and where do I get it?

Mussels · Jul 30, 2010

MSI afterburner or everest, is my guess

Thanks, probably Everest cause I have MSI and I don't see an option to do that. I'll double check though.

BRUTE FORCE!

Itt'l cut I guess.. framerates are still pretty much acceptable @ 40 - 60fpish.

Now I must buy this game........I haz a sad.

DannibusX · Jul 30, 2010

Hmm. Blizzard just released a patch that fixes the SC2 problems with 7.1 sound systems.

EDIT:

FAIL. "You are trying to login with a client that is not recognized by the Battle.Net service."

EastCoasthandle · Jul 30, 2010

link?? Is that all?

DannibusX · Jul 30, 2010

It comes over Blizzard's launcher, there is no link. Said something about streamlining campaign saves as well.

Pickles24 · Jul 30, 2010

Re open the game after patching and it lets you in with the new version.

Win, gonna try them out now.

EDIT: I'm just gonna put this out there. This is indeed the same feeling I had when I first played Starcraft on my little pentium 1 machine with 32mb of ram. It still reeks of the same awesomeness and if I were to give it a rating it'll be 10/10.
