What vid card settings do u use?

Silverstone · Nov 4, 2005

In game details maxxed, 1280 x 1024 (native lcd rez), 8X S aa (super sampling), 16X AF, v-synch on.

I'm not into games like BF2 & I don't have FEAR but all the rest of my games run great with the above settings.

When they DON"T run well @ those settings I'll think about upgrading.

Depends what game it is, CS:S 1600X1200, battlefield 2 1280X1024, serious sam2 1158X8(can't remember the exact setting lol) quake4 1024X768, I just updated the nvidia drivers to the latest and I have a suspiscion that they don't work that well

I'm using the 81.84 nvidia drivers NOT THE FLAKEY 81.85's.....

In BF2 and such I have problems running anything higher than 1024x768 due to lack of ram. Everything else, that does not chew up ram is higher than 1024x768 though. Vsync, I use in all games pretty much, and AA and AF as high as they can go.

I was using the 78 something, then seen you could hotplug the sli mod on the new cards, really don't need it but thought it would be cool to have. Once I get home from work im gonna find the old drivers(hopefully) and get them back on.

my setting:
AA 0x AF 16x
VS on
1400*1050 32bit color

what system do you have?

zAAm · Nov 5, 2005

Quake4 at MEDIUM quality, NO FSAA, maybe 4x AF and max 1024x768.

Not quite the best system here... Serious Sam 2 max everything @ 1024x768 with no FSAA. My PC suffers with high resolutions and dynamic shadows. Those two factors kill my performance instantly... AF doesn't make that much of a difference though. Maybe a 5fps difference between 2x and 16x AF?

I run Doom 3 at high with 2x aa 1152x864 (I cant run 1280x1024 becuase thats only at 60 Hz which bothers my eyes)

I run all my games at 1152x864, except FEAR. FEAR runs like crap even at 1024x768 with all medium detail. Pretty crappy engine.

I also run all my games at 1280x1024, 8X AA, 16X AF, and on occasion, depending on the game, v-sync on.
