Just got stalker.....

It improves the textures, lighting, just about everything and boosts performance, but dont get the latest version, best one is the 1.7077a (the version before), runs great all the time under that one. :)

You can see the difference the float32 mod makes in this thread here as someone has taken a shot from inside where the trader is, before and after the mod, really makes a difference.

thats better, not installed that program yet, but i will

Still getting a kinda Jumpy sound, delayed gun shot sounds if there is a lot going on on screen.

Any clues ?!?
 
I installed the Float32 update but it does not give me a better framerate and a lot of things are overly bright now, the start of the Chernobyl level for instance as soon as you go underground, the parts that are unlit are dark but the lit parts are way too bright, anything I can do about it?

How do you you uninstall Float32, if it is even possible?

Agreed! I got the GTX for DX9 performance! I don't use vista as i prefer the reliability of XP and x64.

Vista is reliable, not one crash since April. (Install date)

Mind you if you have one of those Creative cards that doesn't have drivers yet then I don't blame you.
 
My issue with vista isn't just the none support for my creative card (though I blame creative for that) but the fact I have certain software which will not run/work properly on vista yet.

I installed it and had it running for 2 weeks before putting xp back on. I do like vista and I missed it after going back to xp.

May get round to setting up a dual boot system in the meantime but not sure if I can be bothered/have the time......too busy playing games :D
 
I must admit, I was a little dissapointed with my own performance on Stalker after getting my 8800GTS 320mb.

Then I overclocked to 600 core 950 mem (modest I think) and It runs soo much better - that's with max detail and 1280 x 800 with all effects.

My 8800GTS 320mb isn't cutting it at 1280x1024, let alone the 1680x1050 native res my monitor runs at. You are going to have to aim high for Stalker.

I am a little surprised at that as my 8800GTS 320MB is running the game fine at 1280x1024 with full dynamic lighting and all the other eye candy up to the highest, although the AF and AA sliders are just up to 1/3 of the way.

I gave up using Float32 as the over brightness and glare was too much for my liking. Instead I use a texture pack called [REL]S.H.A.R.P.E.R-Textures v0.95 (updated!). The texture pack is superb and really makes a great difference without any of the glare issues with Float32.

The only time that I have noticed a slow down, not giving away the game plot here, is much later on when the helicopters are overhead firing and shooting. Then it slows down a bit.

Apart from that the game has been superb, in terms of performance. Very glad I got my 8800GTS, even if it 'only' has 320MB...!!!! :D
 
I think every one can give it away, i've just got to the bridge with the blokes on it. so like a 30 run up the road from the start !!!
