Rainbow 6 Vegas video performance?

niko084 · Sep 4, 2007

Finally got it... Been playing it for a little bit, wow it is really different and actually quite hard for a bit. Now I'm starting to get the hang of it though.

Anyone still playing it?

Anyone playing it on a 2600xt??

And just curious whats probably the minimal card you can play the game at decently at low settings, I found a few tweaks to turn down some ini file settings, which seem to help...

Curious because my brother wants to play it and he has a Prescot 3.0 1 gig of ram and agp for video but doesn't want to burn $130+ on a 1950pro or something, he plans on upgrading in the next few months so kinda wants something decently hot he can play this game with for a bit...

7600? 1650? x800?

7600gt is probs his best bet just oc it to the max, although another gig of ram would definately be a must, the x800 probably would be a better choice but r6lv is sm3 only and the x800 wont play it :nutkick:

if he can try and get a 7600gt and another cheap gig of ram, it wont run well on that old prescott with 1gb at all

edit: if he can stretch to a 2600xt that would be the best option by far but like i said dont expect miracles with his prescott and 1gb ram

I was kinda pushing him to get a 7600 anyways.

The 2600xt would be something for his new system, which will also in the least be a Pentium D 9** series... *Only because I have a 915 sitting around and don't know if I'm going to sell it.*

Actually there is an edit in the ini file to give up on the sm3.0 also you can change it to sm2.0

, but I read that makes it look pretty bad.

Rainbow Six Vegas is great! its really short though which is kinda disapointing. Playing it again for the 3rd time atm.

My old 7600GT played it very nicely on medium settings, looks great with the x1950pro though.

Wow! This was actualy the first game I tried out on my HD2600XT after I installed it! Just managed to finish it for the second time, last night.

First time I played it was with my X1650XT and I thought it looked great then but now.... daaaaaaamn! The new HD series just seems to bring the screen to life! Playing it @ 1280x1024 with all the available settings in the options menu turned up.

BTW, If he can't swing the money for a new HD2600 series, I'd recommend an X1650XT since their faster than a 7600GT and you can easily get one for sub $100 USD these days. nflesher87 has my old X1650XT and I think he was trying to sell it for $80 so perhaps ask him if he still has it?

On a different note, does anyone find the comments and remarks by your team mates a little annoying at times? The "Nice Shot" and "Impressive" remarks get old after awhile! :rolleyes:

haha. so true. "I cannot compry". "You'll have to move". "Logans down, cover me" Aw.

Yes I can agree with the commentary part of the game...

I would make him get a 2600xt or 1650xt but he is agp currently and needs something to run it for a few months. So we are stuck to a few cards, in which case I think the 7600 is going to be the fastest/bang/buck card.
