Good morning guys,
Well, after my ATi X800XT died on me, I got a replacment card, X1950Pro. Which I was sure I would see an improvement in my games. Can't say that I have, infact, in some games it seems worse. But I have a sneeky feeling that it's to do with Windows Vista playing a role here?
Here's my system specs:
AMD A64 3400+ (2.4Ghz)
2GB DDR Memory,
2 x160GB SATA HDDs.
X1950Pro 256mb.
So, from this I expected some reasonable proformance from my games. This is what I found.
Games:
Flatout 2 - Running 100%.
FarCry - Running 100%. (But I thought the SM3.0 was meant to make it look better, no?)
Doom 3 - For some reason it won't run at full settings, it keeps setting itself back to lowest settings?
NFS - Carbon - Running, but I can't turn on AA or AF and it's not running 100% smooth.
F.E.A.R - Doesn't run very smooth at max settings. Low FRPS.
S.A.L.K.E.R - Obviously on my system won't run full settings, but would it be better on XP?
NFS - Most Wanted - Can anyone get this game to run on Vista? Because I can't.
I will be trying more games tonight.
So is the above correct for my system, or is something not quite right? My X800XT played Carbon full wack!
.
Using latest 7.6 Cats as well.
Thanks guys.
