Look at the close up of the KPA face! Individual stubble and spots. Madness.

Can't wait to see games in 10 years time.

You can use techpowerup.org just as well, and it gives you the BB code...

Photobucket resizes to 800x600. I use TPU hosting.

Once I get my Vista install stable . . . I'll get some DX10.1 screenies of Clear Sky for y'all to drool over as well

It's not mandatory for it to resize to 800x600, it's only an option, you can use 1MB file size if you want.

Photobucket resizes to 800x600. I use TPU hosting.

Only if you let it, drop down menu to set it to various sizes.

600 wide
800 wide
900 wide
1000 wide

and full size


Example of fullsize image hosted on photobucket

Not that I'm trying to take away from TPU or say photobucket is perfect. just letting ye know, I've been using it since I started using the net.

 

[DaveK]

And here's an example of a 5 megapixel image on Photobucket

But TPU hosting is still good Though I notice a lot of people don't use it like in Project Logs, to be honest I don't notice TPU loading images faster than PB.

Crysis and Crysis warhead

I really liked these two games. Play them both and finish them. Play them both at there highest settings from beginning to end, unbelievable graphics. RIG: Maximus II Formula, two Diamond 4870X2 2GB GDDR5 XOC Edit (CF). CPU Intel WX9650 OC @ 4.10GHz, 8 GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066.CPU and GPU are water cooled. I have play may other games but these two they look very nice at the highest settings. Other games that look grate: Assasins Creed, Tom Clancy Hawx Half Life 2, Grid, UT3,Need for Peed Undercover, Mirror's Edge Far Cry 2, Fall Out 3, Bioshock, etc. Play them all Maxed out. Now I' bore with my rig. I want to sell it to build another one, This time, Maybe with All AMD Hardware(Phenom II 955??) or with Nividia GPU (295). I'm loosing the apetite with intel high end CPU too expensive. After building so many RIGS you can pretty much build one with the right components without going to crazy and still get good results. LOL.

Original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is quite hard when typing r2_gi on the console

r2_gi [on,off] - Disabled by default, this setting appears to control whether Global Illumination is used, a form of lighting which is more realistic, in that lit surfaces then indirectly reflect on and light up other surfaces. There are a range of global illumination parameters starting with r2_gi_ you can use to alter the effect if it is enabled, such as r2_gi_refl which controls the reflectivity of lit surfaces. However enabling global illumination severely reduces FPS, so it is best left disabled on most systems.

I need some help with Crysis people:

Finally got around to install crysis and in Vista( never had this problem in XP ) and there is massive massive sound stuttering at the menus and in the game, is this a Vista issue, if so how do i fix it?

The good thing, i set everything to VERY HIGH dx10 settings, at 1280x1024 with AAX2 and at the cut scenes i get around 15.22 - 26.6fps. But the sound stuttering just kills performance near the end of the cut scenes and at the beginning of the level in the skies, its unplayable

that's impossible. On XP DX9 I am getting the same FPS as you and my rig has much more power

 

[RadeonProVega]

Well it drops down to 1-2 because of the stupid sound stuttering. When the cut scenes start, the performance starts to go up, then drops, the sound is messing up everything, and its unplayable.

Could it be my onboard sound, is something not config right?
can you switch over to XP in crysis, by changing something?
could be my hardware acceleration on the sound board, i may need to put it too basic, i just have to find it first

 

[PEPE3D]

well try to have the lates patch installed. Lower settings in the game. I havent's have any issues in vista. Though I have Vista Ultimate 64 Bit. To play the game at there highest seetings you must have a very goog system. All of my game are play throgh Steam.Check that you have the latest drivers for your sound card. Check online see if there are any issues regarding your sound card and the game.

 

[RadeonProVega]

Ooooooooooooooh i see. I must always remember, Vista is directx10 and so far Crysis is the only game that is giving me trouble and my 2400HD is holding me back. I haven't tested with my 8400gs yet, but i will try it later.

Now about lowering the settings haha, yea you are right. I put the game on 800x600 all low to medium 40-70fps. 1024X768 all low to medium 35-60fps. 1280X1024 all low settings, 25-40fps.
One question: Is there a trick to use Direct X9 in crysis or it wouldn't matter either way because the 2400HD is too weak in vista for Crysis?

 

[Blacksniper87]

well 2400HD is pretty crap

 

[ste2425]

i dunno when i had my hd 2600 xt i got supprisingly smooth gaming at medium - high at my current res

 

[PEPE3D]

If your card supports DX10you shlud be able to play it. in DX9 you have to choose it.

 

[Mussels]

you can right click the game shortcut in games explorer, and choose DX9's codepath.

I've noticed i cant choose DX9 when running the 64 bit mode, but that may be a bug locally.

 

[RadeonProVega]

Well i tried everything with this 2400HD, no go. The sound is just causing too much trouble, even tho i notice the sound isn't the cause of the performance. My guess its this card with vista. I did the shortcut thing, ran the game in direct x9. 1024X768 all high settings, but sound on low, and i get 11-16fps. I put the resolution to 1280x1024 and it drop to 4-7fps.

Only thing i can see is this. When i had XP, i ran the game using my 8400GS at all high at 1280x1024 on my Pentium III at unplayable frames , but still it was better performance then it is on Vista. I haven't tried my 8400GS yet in this new system , but when i do i will test out crysis again. My guess, the 2400HD for crysis is bad in Vista thats all and if you want to run crysis in a new rig with directx10 with vista, you better get a use a more powerful card lol

Nevertheless, Crysis is the only game thus far which runs poorly. All my other games which i have install plays just fine.

well 2400HD is pretty crap

LOL yea i notice.
