DigitalN. Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 After playing through the demo, I think it is a retarded system hog and that is for certain. E4300 @ 3.2GHz 2GB 900MHz DDR2 8800GTX 630/1000 1680x1050 and it still runs pretty damn slow on all high, I can't imagine what it is like on lesser rigs.

Sethos Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Nice! And i say again to everyone, turn down postprocessing to low ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalN. Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Well here is a screen shot of what the game looks like for me, and it still runs pretty crappy (feels like 20FPS or less) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 What's with the trees in the background? My settings are pretty much all on "High" now, except Physics which is on Very High and Postprocessing is on Low - This gives me around 40FPS. ( 1920x1200 - NO AA/AF ) Oh, how the hell did you manage to take a screenshot ingame :laugh: Neither Prt Scr or Fraps works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalN. Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 To tell you the truth, if I knew what was going on with the trees, I would let you know. I have that issue with anything after a certain distance turning white like that, it is weird. I used print screen myself, don't have FRAPS installed on the simple basis of I don't want to see how terrible of an FPS I am getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo003 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) Did anyone tried it with 7600GT, I hate spending 300-500 on a card right now just for one game. My Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz 4 Gig DDR2 800 7600GT (Not O/C) P5W Deluxe 1680x1050 DVI Vista Ultimate Edited October 27, 2007 by Neo003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Constructors Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) Check out my system specs below in my sig. The game is less than 20 FPS even when postprocessing is set to low. I just got this new PC and this game hardly even runs smoothly on medium settings..nooooo Edited October 27, 2007 by Hanif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieFly Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 well, another vista let down. 1920x1200 on my 8800GTS OC2, 17fps..... even with low post processing here's a tip tho, i switched to my xp partition, 1920x1200, everything on high, 30+ fps.. go figure i'm trying really hard to stick with vista but it appears to be holding back my videocard pretty badly. Every recent game is running considerably slower under vista then there's the lack of hardware direct sound; Alchemy sometimes produces strange results depending on the game. Someone remind me, why did we need vista again? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Constructors Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Wow, maybe I should give XP a shot...that's a huge FPS increase between vista and xp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 on my system, listed in my sig, everything on very high, except post processing and it's smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Constructors Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Using the new 169.01 Drivers:Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2GB DDR2, 8800GTS Superclocked Runs fine with everything on high, but like MichaelBL said, postprocessing destroys your FPS. Turn it to low and you'll see a huge improvement. We have the same system specs. How did you get yours to run with everything high with postprocessing set to low?

wolfie Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 My system: 8800gtx overclocked a little, Core 6700@3.0Ghz, 4 gig of ram, 24"Benq. Vista 32 bit. First there is noway I will miss out on buying this game, I think it is great. This is the type of game that needs to be developed and pushed out to us. It should force the hardware makers to build better, faster and hopefully cheaper products to run a game with this much detail. Also it should push Nvidia and Microsoft for better drivers and a lot more DX10 tweaking. I get 24-28fps during game play with everything set to "high", drops to 15-20fps set to very high. Even so it is playable and almost smooth at these fps. The detail is outstanding and I think once I learn all the different ways to control the suit and get the controls set up to my liking this will be a super game for me. Sure it is beta and I know there will be updates but this seems to be the next step in gaming (at least for me) for FPS games. I plan to load it on Vista 64 soon to see how it works. wolfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Sure it is beta and ... I'm pretty sure this is based off the final code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yes you are right I probably should not have said it like that, I mean there will be more tweaking and polishing to make the game run smoother over all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Oh yeah, no doubt about it - Postprocessing needs big-time tweaking ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshBluebird Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 What does the Postprocessing do then? And from what people can tell, does it seem to be more GPU bound or CPU bound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Natan Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 All the blur, the motion-blur, the depth-of-field, etc, it's all post processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danrarbc Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Every few years there's a game exactly like this. A game that can't be run at the highest settings on current hardware. As far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with that and as long as the game is fun start to finish I'll play it each time I get a new video card to see what it can do. As for the Vista issue, this game is one of the worst when it comes to performance drop. There has to be something up in he drivers or game code cause this isn't normal most games run similarly.

WelshBluebird Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Anyone with vista and xp, could we get exact benchmarks on how it performs on both? (also, just wondering, if you have a DX10 card and your running vista, does it force itself to run in DX10, or can you set it to DX9? Cos if it forces DX10, that could be the reason for the performance hit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskren Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 C2D E6400 2 GB RAM 8800GTS 640 - in a PCIe 4x slot. Vista Ultimate 1680x1050, no AA, 4x AF, all settings on high with post processing on medium. Using latest NVIDIA drivers. I'm probably getting 25-30 fps which is playable for me. It seems that some people with higher end hardware have some kind of performance conflict with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkodevo Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 C2D E6600 2GB RAM 8800 GTX 1600x1050 In XP an only getting 15-25 FPS on High settings. Vista, ran for 10 mins and crashed :( Think I may have old/ish drivers. Will update now and see if it makes much difference. Game looks good and I love the water :) Weapons seem a little poor so far.... But still cant wait to play the full single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieFly Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 i can confirm that it's around 30fps in xp, whereas i was getting ~17fps in vista. what a superb game it is!... :woot: hopefully they'll tweak the post processing issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I need new hardware the game ran good video wise, but my sound stuttered alot with my xfi card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshBluebird Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 i can confirm that it's around 30fps in xp, whereas i was getting ~17fps in vista. Cheers any idea if the game forces DX10 when in vista with a DX10 GPU available? I have read that it does, but I'm not sure how legit that is. Cos if so, that could well be the cause of the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
