Hi there
A post like this does not help me. I don't have a clue what your talking about and even worse don't know where to get what your talking about m8.
I am taking my Farcry into work tomorrow and will give that a go. I am sure with everything maxed at 1920x1200 that game should bring a GTX to its knees and even an R600.
I am also going to build a similar high-spec AMD 6000 system too, only difference is the AMD system will cost circa £500 less just to see if one really does need that quad core power. obviously I am fully aware one can save a similar amount by just using an E6600 too though and clocking it to 3.5GHz. I just want to see how AMD is comparing now their CPU's are silly cheap due to yesterdays price drop. As an AMD 6000 is less than £200

dont you can run FSAA with soft shadows on, plus it ruins your fps rate and doesnt really make the game look any nicer

Am getting 38/67/157 at 1920x1200 4xAA 16xAF all setting at max with a AMD 4400 cpu (2400mhz) and my 8800gtx at stock speeds of 576/900
So basically 8800gtx and this r600 are equal in fear and neither are restricted by the cpu.
Could you run HL2 benchmark with everything on full please Gibbo
Maybe use the Lost Coast one with full HDR

If enabled, Soft Shadows adds a bit of a haze to the edge of cast shadows to create a more realistic shadow appearance. The comparison is shown in the screenshots above. Unfortunately this method also brings with it a massive performance hit (at times halving FPS), and it is strongly recommended that all users disable Soft Shadows for optimal performance with little to no noticeable image quality loss. Note that enabling Soft Shadows along with FSAA is not recommended, and can result in graphical glitches. Further note that on ATI graphics cards enabling Soft Shadows along with Pixel Doubling (see below) results in a black screen - this is a known driver bug.

lol that would explain it, theres been a lot of posts
Lost coast benchmark at 1600x1200 and everything on full gave 44fps with a minimum of about 24. Thats a 6800GS & conroe

Pixel Doubling should be disabled. If enabled it lowers IQ (AFAIK).

On Fear I think it has the effect of halving the res?

Aye something like that ain't it.
I heard another reseller saying something like they wont be dropping the prices until it filters through to their purchase price or words to that effect. I havent been keeping an eye on AMD cpu prices but have they changed yet, in light of yesterday's price list rearranging (anyone)?Gibbo said:I just want to see how AMD is comparing now their CPU's are silly cheap due to yesterdays price drop.

I was reading
"This way AMD admits openly that this processor family can no longer compete with the fastest representatives of the Intel Core 2 Duo family. In other words, AMD Athlon 64 X2 will no longer be positioned as a high-end solution: now it is just a dual-core solution for mainstream and budget systems."

Well you can make that judgement yourself based on how it looks and plays I guess? If it looks like pacman but taxes a 8800gtx then its probably written in cobol.
vegas looks top class to me

Not really, read the quote from Gibbo in my last post; if he doesnt have the game or a link to a freely available download (i.e. demo), then he isnt going to test it. Remember he is in OcUK and not in same secret aladins cave of every game released for PC.silversurfer said:
