Some pics of far cry running on my rig....

[uziholda]

Note this is running the game on 1024x768,i can also get 60-70 fps on 1600x1200 on high everything but i prefer playing in 1024x769 makes everything feel bigger lol.


anywhere heres my rig specs.


AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor 3400+, 2204MHz,512 mb of ram,ASUS RADEON 9800XT overclocked.


and here is the pics,

if anyone wants me to take more pics i will,name something to take a pic of and i will take it on hi res everything on top settings.

and u know it!!!!! :)




hes waving to the camera LOL

[uziholda]

And you are posting this........why? :dork:

cos its the general gaming section,and i thought we should all show pics of our rigs running farcry lol

[Tinneth]

Whats the best radeon graphics card thats out at the moment or coming out pretty soon?

[uziholda]

x800 xt platinum,although they say nvidia card is faster,but i wouldent believe that.....

[ShadowFox]

I would take some pics of it on my rig.. but I find playing Far Cry to be a chore.

[A True Canadian]

That's only at 1024x768? I hate missing out. :(

[Prince of China]

I want to see someone run Far Cry on 1600x1200 and everything maxed out.

[SFLUFAN]

^^^
That person will have to be using a 6800 or X800 card - my 9800XT can barely crank out 20FPS on 1280 x 1024 with full AA/AF

[Prince of China]

Now I just want to see someone run Prince of Persia with 1600x1200 with everything on the max.
Does anybody know what nVidia cards are better than the ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 128MB ram.

[Soundwave]

Very, very nice shots.

[Shuzer]

i can also get 60-70 fps on 1600x1200 on high everything

See if you can get some LIVE Trigen pics for us ..... :D

[A2597]

heh, rage3d.com, general gaming forum SCREENSHOTS thread. lots of 1600x1200 max everything with AA and AF on with 30+ FPS shots.

x800 rocks! :) But I'm happy with a radeon 9800 Pro for the time. :D

[Prince of China]

So...the x800 could supremely boost up my framerates by maybe...a lot?

My computer: P4 1.8 ghz, 512 MB DDR ram, ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 128MB ram.

It'd boost them, but it's be bottlenecked by that processor

[Prince of China]

I see ...

[Letters]

Get more RAM... I installed another 512 and Far Cry loved it. :)

[Prince of China]

Does more ram make it faster?

[Letters]

Yeah, it drastically decreased the amount of times the game would 'chug'... because it can go longer without having to add/remove stuff from the memory.

[Sedako]

I'm running 512 RAM at the moment, and Far Cry only seems to "chug" after loading up for the first time, and whenever the door to a large room opens for the first time. Did this happen to you before you upgraded?

To the topic starter: Take a pic of a live Trigen close up. :P

Yep. When you enter "new" areas, it chugs like that. I went from 512MB to 1GB, namely because of FC, and I'd have to agree, FC absolutely loved the extra RAM.

Also, the game no longer takes 2 minutes to close, it closes instantly :)

**** yeah! I'll be upgrading after my grad party. I don't know how RAM compatability works though. Do I need a stick of the exact same Brand and speed of the one I already have, or will anything work with what I already have. Right now, I have a stick of DDR 512MB PC 3200. Not sure of the Maker, but it came from HP. Do I need to get another stick from HP, or will it be ok to get a stick of Corsair?

[Letters]

You can switch brands just fine (I have three. :)), but don't get anything slower than what you already have.

[Sedako]

You can switch brands just fine (I have three. :)), but don't get anything slower than what you already have.

So I can get a stick of Corsair 512 PC 3200 and it will be compatible? What is the best stick for gaming? I only want to add the 512.

[Letters]

Well, Corsair is the most expensive, so I assume it's the best. :P

And yeah, it's just the type of memory that it is that matters, not who makes it, when determining compatability.

Nice. I'll start looking some up on newegg tomorrow. Can't wait to get my shiney new RAM in the mail. Also, is low-latency better for gaming? Damn, RAM is the only hardware I don't understand. What's with all this 2-2-2-5 stuff?

[Shuzer]

The tighter the timings, the better performance.

However, I wouldn't worry about getting RAM with low timings, as I doubt your HP RAM is super top of the line. I'd go with something reasonable, neither too cheap nor too expensive.

Is there any way I can figure out how my current RAM is timed?

[Shuzer]

There's a program, IIRC, but I don't have a link to it. I'm sure Asus could provide a link, if he pops his head in here.

I just found out using that little soft that my RAM is behind times, I was proud to have 1GB of DDR but it's clocked at 133mhz and it's PCI 2100... at least it's samsung :(

[Sedako]

Thanks a lot guys. So if I have the correct numbers, my RAM is timed at 3-3-3-8, so If I get something of faster clocking, it won't matter? I'm also not sure if my mobo supports dual channel, but I can tell you that it is ASUS.

[Varsity]

What's a good set of results in CPU-Z?

I'm pretty sure the timings will adjust to the slower speed, just as RAM speeds do. I could be wrong, as I have no actual experience with that, but eh. I'd really suggest just spending a reasonable amount, and don't aim for really expensive RAM, get something with similar timings.

I refuse to upgrade to play this peace-of-crap game.

[Pressure]

Looks slightly better than the others.

[blahblahblah]

Wow, tech help in the general gaming fourm... ;)

It sounds like you have a HP computer. So I doubt that they put quality RAM in your computer. Anyways, to find out if you motherboard is dual channel capable I need to know the model number of your motherboard. To find that, go to start, run and type "dxdiag." It should list your motherboard model. Listing your system specs would be helpful to.

As for RAM timings, the motherboard will automatically change its timings to make both RAM sticks happy. That means if you buy a stick of 2-2-2-5 RAM, it will actually run at 3-3-3-8 which would be a gigantic waste of money. Try and find a stick of RAM that is close (if not the same) CAS timings.

If you bought your computer through HP, I would see what they are charging for another 512 RAM. If their prices are competitive to newegg.com, I would go with whatever HP is trying to sell you (since you know it is compatable, etc). If HP prices are not competitive, go to your motherboards website and see what RAM is compatible with your motherboard. Then go to newegg.com, find the RAM and purchase it.

All pictures was at 1280x1024 6xAA/16x AF max settings in-game using X800pro :cool: My cpu bottlenecks my gfx card though so my fps are'nt that high but not bad considering the AA/AF :p

I dont believe the thread starter can get 60 - 70 fps on 1600x1200 with ANY AA/AF or on max settings using a 9800XT.

[Pendragon]

Bug = no item shadow.

[Alig]

Heh, how noticeable is that :|

[A True Canadian]

I really want a new graphics card now. Me thinks that if I had better graphics I would enjoy the game more.

You should have just called this thread "Watch me show off my ub3r l33t mecheen, MUAHAHAH you all must bow to the l33t!!!"

[ShadowFox]

Is there a way to get a fps counter in Far Cry without using Fraps?

[Fletch]

Whats your CPU AliG?? i was thinking of getting a X800xt pro - and was wandering how much of a bottle neck an Amd 3000+ would be. If it is can i lower the resolution and raise the AA to compensate?? Its not a crappy processor, but not best you can get. Im hanging on to it until the PCIe platforms have matured a bit.

Its an AMD2.6XP oc'ed @ 2.2ghz (so basically its an AMDXP 3200+)

The game is very much playable at the settings im running it on them screens (6xAF/16xAA)...but i use 4xAF 8xAA normally so it is very playable, even if i used 1600x1200 ress.

Edit/ I know my cpu bottlenecks it but the X800 is still a beast of a gfx card capable of playing any game at highest settings highest AA/AF settings (well, optimized engines)

Edit 2/ I have 1 gb DDR400 as well, farcry likes memory alot.

[Fletch]

okay thanks, should be fine then :D

[DiSTuRbEd]

uziholda you want a cock battle about far cry shots, let me get my 3000+ in, then it shall begin, I project the X800 Pro the winner though ;P

Nice specs though, me love!

[clarky003]

All pictures was at 1280x1024 6xAA/16x AF max settings in-game.

:) lol

at that resolution, the edges are so sharp you dont need 6xAA . :naughty:

lower resolutions and higher AA settings work much nicer I think. blends stuff together better.

and isnt so harsh on the eyes :O,, and you get a better frame rate.. but I guarantee that 16x AF is whats sucking the frame rate down.

Alig, bottleneck on a 2.2ghz XP isn't that bad, on my 2600+ when I went to 2.1ghz I gained about 10-15fps from 2ghz, so I mean bottleneck should almost be gone at 2.2ghz. :E

It's a brag fest up in here.

For the last time (okay, I only said it once):

uziholda is NOT getting 60-70 FPS on a Radeon 9800XT at 1600x1200 at ultra high details no matter his machine.
Go look at X800 XT/6800 benchmarks, those don't even get anywhere NEAR that at that resolution.

did i say that? lol oh yeah i did *slaps forehead doe*


na i cant,i get 25-30 fps at that res,but any other lower res i can mostley get 60-70,

oh wait...that's at 640 x 480.

I know it isnt slowing it down to 5200FX speeds but i know it isnt performing anywhere near what it would if i had an A643000+ or higher in.

I get :

200 flyby
67 botmatch
1024x780 ress on ut2004 retail benchmark

Ive seen people on their that get (well the best one is FSBmed - or something) get around :

300flyby
105 botmatch
1024x780 ress on ut2004 retail benchmark

_using a 9800XT_ obviously overclocked somewhat

Though his cpu is something like 4.4ghz @ like -20c and his machine is ****ing beasty (was rank 3 in the world on 3Dmark2003) but still...i expected at least 80 in botmatch even with my cpu because the X800pro doubles the 9800XT almost and is still one hell of an improvement over it even if the 9800XT is overclocked to gods end.
