Greta said:You know, there wasn't much difference in framerate or visual performance going from 8xS AA to 4X AA on either platform in FEAR, but let me tell you..... 8xS AA looks awesome in BF2142.
And how do you think I feel having to play FEAR in SLI at only 1024 x 768? For all its intense shaders and other crap, it still doesn't look nearly as good as the Source engine.
harpoon said:Greta, regarding your previous post regarding FEAR performance, that's a GPU limitation, not a CPU limitation, right?
Donnie27 said:Thank you very much Greta, most folks here will agree with what you wrote and have seen similar results already.
Many of us don't use our PC's as ONLY an expensive X-Box. No, 1600 X 1200 isn't very realistic for everyday Gaming, even most LCDs are 1280 X 1024. I'll agree with about 85% of the reviews [H] does, disagree 10% and stuck on the other 5%. This one part of 3 was one I disagreed with. Yet, [H] is the first page I hit everyday.
jebo_4jc said:Thanks for the info. I'm curious about your FEAR experience though. What if you dropped down to say 4xAA? Would it "feel" better then? Playing at 1024x768 is just not acceptable for a 7900gtx setup.
Lazy_Moron said:I agree
How high does your resolution go? That does not look right at all. I played F.E.A.R on 2xAA, 8xAF all other settings maxed at 1440x900 hardly going below 40FPS with the system in my sig. If thats your highest resolution, that might be the culprit right there.
Greta said:Yeah I go as high as 1440 x 900....but the key is 2xAA and 8xAF.
I was talking about FEAR at 1440 x 900 at 8xS AA and 16xAF. My system will run most of it very well at that setting....but when you get into particle and shadow heavy areas, it will dip to 30 FPS. That's why the built in benchmark is misleading, in my opinion. You would think an AVG FPS of 64 would guarantee you smooth sailing throughout the whole game, but it doesn't. Not to my satisfaction, anyway.

Greta said:Thats a monster rig. If adding an 8800 GTX in SLI increases performance like adding a second 7900 GTX in SLI, I think FEAR will be running just fine at 1440 x 900.
But I still think a single 8800 GTX would lag at that res....

5400 pounds! That's like,10 000!!!
And wtf is Liquocool, and why does the system cost about a *thousand* dollars?
