Only for Vista though, these must be the replacements for the others that they took down, they also have 163.11 beta's on there for the World In Conflict beta.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

Which ones do we get before they pull

JohnnyG · 11 Jul 2007 at 17:24

These are just Vista then?

Coolasmoo · 11 Jul 2007 at 17:30

looks like they are Vista only for the time being

XP latest is 162.18 i think

Looks like the 163.11 are 8 series only and optimized for world in conflict

World In Conflict apparently runs at an absolutely blistering 24fps on the GTX in Dx10, and drops to the teens.

I aint complaining though

, Only issue which stands for me is the text is corrupted in vista, everything is fine in XP. Also a GTX getting 24fps AVG working as it should, Nope don't think so

24fps would be perfectly playable though, but crashes, screwed up text and menus would'nt be.

fair enough, although after watching the directx10 showcase video for world in conflict it certainly is impressive.

I have Vista on my other drive so ill certainly give it a go once this menu text bug is fixed. I Also recommend that no one take notice of the games built in benchmark results, the In game performance is a totally different story :rolleyes:

Really? as in a lot better or a lot worse?

Much better, the in game benchmark is seriously flawed IMHO. Many people have said the same. Then again it is a BETA.

Please come back and say that when Crysis gets released.

You can get away with 25FPS in Oblivion as its not fast paced, you try under 30FPS on most FPS games and you end up feeling ill with sore head and eyes.

> 30 FPS is more than enough in this game it's an RTS, say if this was Crysis or Bioshock it would be unacceptable obviously.

Min Max Avg
17 94 31.338

Just been playing for 20 mins recorded with fraps some REAL world gameplay, not some flawed in game benchmark.

Test was done with

DX9C
Soft Shadows OFF
1680x1050
Everything Very High
8xAA only 1-2fps hit over 4x
16xHQAF

Perfectly playable.
