How do I know if im running in DX9 or DX10 vista64?

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

That was my understanding,

Infact someone posted that in this thread so correct me if i am wrong .

Also does anyone know how to enable AF in this game?

sid

Negitive....checked the ingame console and its still being rendered using DX10 with "high" shaders

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

so in vista its dx10 only then? no dx9?

Turned all settings down to high still renders with DX10

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

would 64bit vista make a big difference with my system specs?

ty.

I too was wondering if running in 64-bit mode made any difference, as I have the lastest drivers It wont let me and I dont want to role back.

Edit: Vista of course

anyone else noticed a decrease in framerates with the beta nvidia drivers? mine have gone down about 5-10

Mine went up 5FPS

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

High = DX9

Very High = DX10


Pretty sure that's it, anyway. (Some are available in DX9 as well like god rays but can't be enabled without editing the config)

No you can still run DX10 with all "high" settings see "r_displayinfo 1"

Im totally holding off judgement of the game (reg. performance) until the actual release

Dont be disappointed if performance is the same in the final release, course it will, until they patch it a month or so later

I get a lovely 25FPS if I turn either "post processing" to medium or "shaders" to high, which one show I keep on I cant decided which looks best, the sun or the foilage?

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Any-one know why the FPS performance goes down 50% in the cut scenes??

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Lol
Cloak Engaged + Choke + Uncloak (prediator Style) + Maxium Strength + Throw = Ownage

I do know what you means about the AI, it is pretty poor, put a silencer on and take cover and you can shoot them for ages and they cant work out where your shooting, i had one enermy sprint past me and run the entire length of the beach from one end (near the laptop) to the jammer, there are problems with the AI in this game but for me its not a complete deal breaker.

I found the environment immersive and the gameplay hugely enjoyable, but if you werent getting headshots you did notice the flaws in the AI.

I find it has its good points as well, I once took a pop at a guy and quickly cloaked afterwards and he was taking random shots at a bush far away from me where he though the shot had came from.
Also making them jump by running at them with Maxium Speed makes me chuckle every time, their reaction is great

Quick question, I thought ther was motion blur when you use the speed boost? I'm not getting any, infact is very hard to see any motion blur at all

Having you turned post processing or shaders down? Either will turn it off

Q6600 @ 3.4, 4gb and an HD2900XT under Vista 64 selecting DX10 from shortcut.

Everything on High @ 1680x1050, plays beautifully, same with everything but shadows on Very High, same for the 64 bit .exe, no antialiasing as it doesn't need it.

Doesnt need AA?? Dont tell me you havent noticed the massives gaggies on everything?

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

O.k Shaders very high or Post Processing very high, that is the question.

I can get 25.2fps with all on Very high excluding Shaders which is on High 4XAA

Or

22.5FPS with All on Very high except Postprocessing on High 4XAA.

I cant make my mind up which looks best, basicly better foilage slower FPS or sun and rays and faster FPS, which should I loose....your opions please?

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

How many people have played the modded demo level that been "snowed up"? It looks even better than the original, it's a whole different experience, just amazing tbh!

Who what where and why?

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Well on a PC with a clean Vista 64bit install and the 169.04 Nvidia driver I get a whopping 10 - 15FPS !!

1920 x 1200
8800 GTX @ stock
Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz
4Gb RAM

In game settings Very High, NO AF.

I was thinking about formatting and a fresh OS install to boost performance, I wont bother now thankx

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

What tweaks is he talking about to get better FPS?

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

What operating system?

Seems very high tbh I smell a rat

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

just a pic on very high

Them jaggies look awful, this game deffantly needs AA

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

There seems to be an ongoing amount still to be prefected with this game.
