Can anybody running Tomb Raider in next gen take some snaps for me?

I'm trying to justify with myself upgrading my 9800XT to a 7800GT. Though Tomb Raider is a very short game, I'd like to see if the quality is really that different. So could some be so kind as to oblige me with the following shots:

- The small town at the start of the Peru level
- The party in Japan (especially with those horribly renedered glasses on the bar as seen in this post http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6795004&postcount=3966)
- The uber waterfall at the start of Ghana

Thanks in advance.

Lol... I've got a 7800GTX and mine laggs like hell running TRL in nextgen mode. The patch did hardly anything for me and is still unplayable. :/

What's your definition of unplayable? For example I'm getting a norm of 20-30fps when standing still, and about 10-15 during heavy action, 10-15 is what I would define as unplayable.

I'm sure that someone on this forum is playing next gen, I forget who though.

Thanks for the info.

Hmmm..... well i get from 30-15fps, and sometimes the game stops for a few secconds to load something else up. I'd do a small vid in fraps, but the filesize tends to be quite big!

Ouch. Maybe no upgrade for me then

They could be running the game at 1920x1200 though, you don't know.

True, true.

For the record my screen runs natively in 1280x1024 not any crazy res.

you've already seen shots of it with NG in the screenshot thread

edit : doh didnt see you want shots in specific places

Ooooh decisions decisions. It does look so beautiful in the screenshot thread.

Tis very odd. From what I remember in the screenshot thread, Sunlistix is running it at a fairly respectible clip on a less powerful graphics card ?

SiD the Turtle · 11 Apr 2006 at 10:28

What I'm not getting though is how you, Sunlistix, are getting playable framerates where others are not?

Is it down to luck, a finely tuned system or is it people just complaining that 30fps is not 'playable'?

as i said in the screenshot thread, its running at around 25fps which doesnt bother me. and i only get 'jerky' moments at the beginning of levels, after that its fine

Still, that's better than the 10-15 I'm getting
